EMBRACE YOUR BODY TYPE

Knowing your body shape can also help you find the most flattering and comfortable swimsuit style. Some of the most common body shapes are hourglass, pear, apple and athletic and while these are broad generalisations, ultimately, we urge you to go with a swimsuit that makes you feel most confident and comfortable. However, if you did want to know more about the type of swimsuits that support the various body types, why not check out our dedicated blog on the subject.  

If you have a part of your body that you want to complement and celebrate, then we have some fabulous swimsuit styles you might want to try. For example, if you want to flatter your chest, beautiful details such as ruffles, frills and wrap over swimsuits will work wonders. Or if you need some extra support underwired or tummy control swimsuits will be your best friend. High leg swimsuits are also flattering for anyone wanting to complement their lovely legs.

CONSIDER DIFFERENT SWIMSUIT MATERIALS

When it comes to swimsuits, the material plays a crucial role in the comfort and fit. Opt for a swimsuit made from a stretchy and supportive fabrics. Luckily at Pour Moi all our swimsuits are designed to fit your body and its curves comfortably and move with you, so you’ll never feel restricted. We also have plenty of swimsuit styles with built in support such as tummy control and underwired swimsuits. Be sure to avoid fabrics that are too thin or flimsy, as they may not provide the necessary support. If you like to be active during the summer out sportswear swimsuits include chlorine resistant fabrics so you can enjoy your favourite swimsuits for longer.

CHOOSE PADDED OR UNDERWIRED SWIMSUITS FOR EXTRA SUPPORT

If you desire extra support or a lift in the bust area, consider swimsuits with built-in padding or underwiring. These features can complement your curves, offer shape and support, so you can feel confident and comfortable that everything is secure. However, if you prefer swimsuits without padding or underwiring, non-padded styles with adjustable straps might be just what you’re looking for. With adjustable straps you can alter your swimsuit to your desired fit giving you all the support you need.

IF IN DOUBT TRY DIFFERENT SWIMSUIT SIZES

Finally, don't hesitate to try on different swimsuit sizes if you're unsure about the fit. If you're torn between two sizes, it's better to try both to see which one feels and looks better on you. We make it easier to experiment with different sizes by offering free returns. Don't be discouraged if you find yourself between swimsuit sizes; it's common! Ultimately, choosing a size and style that makes you feel comfortable and confident is the right choice.
