WOMEN'S SWIMEAR GUIDE

The triangle bikini is a timeless beachwear classic, loved for its simplicity, versatility and ability to suit different body types. The design is minimalist and can be tied behind the neck and back with ties or straps. One of the main advantages is the adjustability of the ties, which allows you to tailor the fit to your needs. The fabrics and patterns range from solid colours to floral, geometric and animal prints. Thanks to its minimal coverage, it is perfect for those who want an even tan. Its versatility makes it suitable for different body shapes. It is a bikini that lends itself to multiple combinations to create stylish and personalised beach looks.

The American triangle bikini is a timeless beachwear classic. It features two triangle-shaped cups, which are often adjustable for a customised fit. The straps tie behind the neck (American-style fastening) and at the back, offering good support and enhancing the bust. It can be padded or unpadded, with fixed or removable cups. The neck tie and wider straps than the classic triangle offer good support and allow you to adjust the fit to suit your needs.

The bralette bikini is a swimsuit style inspired by the shape and comfort of bralette bras.

The wide-strap bikini top is designed to offer comfort, support and a dynamic look. The wide straps are the main feature, as they offer greater support than thin straps, distributing weight better and reducing pressure on the shoulders. They can be straight, crossed at the back or feature special designs. The overall line of the top is functional and minimalist. Many styles are wire-free for maximum comfort and freedom of movement and offer more coverage than other types of bikinis. Solid colours, colour blocks or simple geometric prints prevail. Although sporty in nature, this style can be paired with different types of bottoms to create more or less casual looks.

The band top features a strip of fabric that wraps around the bust without straps. It can be straight, shaped, with or without ruffles, and often has a back closure with hooks or ties. The absence of straps makes it ideal for avoiding tan lines on the shoulders. It suits a variety of styles, from sporty to elegant, depending on the fabric, pattern and combinations. The bandeau is often ideal for small or medium breasts, especially padded or gathered styles that create an optical illusion of greater volume. The bandeau bikini offers multiple pairing possibilities to create fashionable beach looks. You can also add multi-strand necklaces or dangling earrings for a touch of style. It is an elegant and versatile option for the beach, ideal for those who want an even tan and love a clean style.

The bikini briefs with adjustable side ties are a versatile style that is loved for its ability to adapt to different body types. The distinctive feature of this style is the ties at the hips, which can be more or less thin and allow you to adjust the height of the briefs on the hips and, in some cases, even the back coverage by tightening or loosening them. Thanks to the adjustable ties, the leg cut can be modified as desired, offering different style and fit options. By tightening the ties, the rear coverage tends to decrease, moving closer to a more Brazilian cut. By loosening them, the coverage increases. The bikini brief with adjustable side ties is an excellent choice for those looking for a versatile, comfortable and highly customisable swimsuit.

The fixed-waist bikini briefs are an essential beachwear item that offer stability and define the figure, preventing the briefs from moving easily.

It can be easily paired with different types of tops: triangle, bandeau, bralette, sports... The choice depends on your taste and the look you want to create.

The Brazilian bikini brief is a daring and sensual style, characterised by minimal rear coverage that emphasises the curves. Its distinctive feature is the minimal coverage of the buttocks, usually covering only the centre. It often has a V-shaped or curved cut at the back, which helps to define and lift the buttocks. It generally has a low or medium waist. The leg cut is often high, which helps to elongate the legs. The fit is designed to emphasise the curves. The reduced amount of fabric at the back promotes a more even tan. If the right size is chosen, it should allow for good freedom of movement. This style may be more suitable for relaxed settings such as the beach or pool; the key to wearing a Brazilian bikini with style is to feel confident.

The bikini culotte briefs are a style that stands out for their snug, full coverage, inspired by classic lingerie culottes. The main feature is their shape, which completely covers the buttocks. They usually have a mid or high waist; the leg cut can be higher or lower depending on the style.

It offers maximum comfort and coverage, ideal for those who feel more comfortable with a style that completely covers the buttocks. It is also ideal for those who love retro style, appreciate a more classic look or want a slight shaping effect.

The high-waisted bikini bottom is a style that stands out for its waistband that sits above the navel, often reaching the waistline or even higher. It is a design that evokes a retro style and offers a unique fit. It provides more coverage on the abdominal area than other styles. The high waist tends to emphasise the waistline, creating an hourglass silhouette, especially when paired with a top that leaves the upper abdomen exposed. It can have a distinctly vintage look, but there are also modern versions with more minimalist cuts. The high waistband can offer a slightly supportive effect on the abdominal area, shaping the silhouette. The coverage of the buttocks can vary depending on the model, from full to more high-cut or “cheeky”. To wear it correctly, it is essential that the high waistband is not too tight and that the briefs fit well without creating folds.

The bralette offers light to medium support, ideal for small to medium breasts. The lack of underwire makes it very comfortable to wear, and the coverage is variable depending on the model. The Brazilian briefs, on the other hand, are distinguished by less coverage at the back than classic briefs; they usually have a V-shape or rounded back that flatters the buttocks. They generally have a higher leg cut than traditional briefs, which tends to elongate the figure.

A touch of originality meets practicality, this bikini set is perfect for those who want to stand out and personalise their fit.

It can have a more glamorous look thanks to the daring neckline or a more sporty feel depending on the design of the bandeau. The great advantage of the tie-side briefs is that you can adjust the width at the hips, making them more or less snug and allowing you to play with the height.
