See the swimsuitHow to choose the right coverage
Start with what you want to feel comfortable about. If it is your midsection, look for ruching and a skirt. If it is your arms or the sun, choose a sleeved style. If it is bust support, look for padded cups or underwire. Dark colors and prints help with a smooth look. Straps matter too: wide straps are steady for swimming, while halter and crossed straps add shape. Pick one main priority and let the rest follow.
