Herroom is pleased to offer Women's Swimwear to complement our lingerie
departments. Like our bras and panties and other lingerie pieces, we have
swimwear to flatter all shapes and sizes-from classic bandeaus and other
one-piece suits to bikinis, boyshorts styles, tankinis, halter-tops and classic
two-piece brief styles. With brands like Freya, Fantasie and MiracleSuit, among
others, HerRoom continues its commitment to offering high-quality pieces for
every figure.
And yes, many of us dread the swimsuit season, when we pretty much have nowhere
to hide. But with so many flattering styles available and with most suits now
being mix and match, there is a suit out there for you. Let's take a look at the
various swimwear styles that may become must-haves in your hot weather wardrobe.
Bikinis
Just when you thought you knew all about bikinis, times have changed and bikinis
come in more styles than ever before. Yes, they are still the most minimal of
all swimwear, with bottoms hitting a low (or very low) hip. But there are so
many variations in tops that they deserve their own section.
Bandeau Swimsuits
The word bandeau, strictly used, refers to the top of the suit, although many
people use it to describe a style of one-piece bathing suit. A bandeau top may
be part of any type of two-piece swimsuit too. Bandeau tops are usually
strapless, often with inner elastic or drawstring. Bandeau swimsuits may be best
suited to trimmer figures, since the snugness of the top might not flatter
larger busts. They also don't offer a lot of support. For somewhat more support,
bandeau tops with shoulder or v-straps might do the trick.
Other two-piece swimwear styles
Balcony style -J ust like balcony, or balconette, bras, the balcony swim top
offers a great deal of support along with low-cut styling. With support along
the outer part of the cups and the bottom, you get a natural yet shapely
silhouette. Balcony tops can be very flattering on women with fuller busts.
Tankinis
Hugely popular for the last several years, tankinis offer more coverage than a
bikini and less than a one-piece suit. The tankini top typically is long enough
to cover most or all of the torso and is an ideal style for mixing and matching
and for those who want a bit more spice than a typical one-piece swimsuit and
more modesty than a bikini. Tankinis range in construction from skimpy triangle
style to underwear, so they can be flattering on almost any body type.
Halter-style swimwear tops
Halter tops are flattering to almost every body type and are popular on both
one-piece bathing suits and all styles of two-piece swimwear. Halter tops
connect behind the neck instead of connecting with two straps over the
shoulders. This construction offers a great deal of support, even for large
breasts. Because the straps run along the outer edge of the breasts, they can
prevent a droopy overhang and actually make breasts look shapely and firmer.
Triangle style tops is the name pretty much says it all. The cups of
triangle swimwear tops are, you guessed it, triangle-shaped. These tops
typically come with slender straps or halter-style ties and often have the least
coverage. For the most part they are best suited to smaller busts, although
brands like Freya offer triangle tops with added support and coverage.
Boyshorts are quickly becoming the most popular style of bottom out
there, mainly because they are flattering to so many figures. Offering more
bottom coverage than bikinis, the boy short hipster design flatters the tummy
too. Designed to fit snugly but comfortably, boyshorts offer several advantages;
they're cute and sexy, while still being modest and practical.
Briefs like the panties of the same name, briefs offer more coverage than
bikini bottoms. Briefs can have high-cut legs or classic cut. They can hit just
below the navel or be high-waisted. There is a briefs style that flatters every
figure.
A word about plus-sized swimwear
Aside from great selection and customer service, one of the great things about
shopping for swimwear at HerRoom is that, no matter the season, you will find
variety in brands, sizes and styles. Trusted brands like Freya, Panache,
Fantasie and Miraclesuit are known for a large product line of flattering and
stylish swimwear for fuller figures.
Keep in mind some style guidelines and you won't go wrong: tankinis, skirt
styles and some one-piece swimsuit designs can be very flattering. If you go
2-piece, boyshorts are preferred over bikini-style bottoms. Tops that offer more
support-like tankinis, underwire, halter tops and balcony styles-are your best
bet. Many suits are constructed with built-in underwear and control panels;
Miraclesuit, in particular, is known for suits that slim and flatter larger
figures.
