Benefits of Strapless Swimsuits

 

Strapless swimsuits are found in swimwear collections year after year because they are incredibly popular among women of all shapes and sizes. One of the biggest reasons why women love strapless swimsuits is because they allow for an even tan in the sun with no strap lines on the shoulders, chest or back.

You can find strapless swimsuits in a variety of styles to flatter your figure and suit your tastes. One-piece strapless swimsuits and strapless two-piece tankinis provide coverage for the midriff with all of the benefits of a strapless top. You can also find more revealing strapless bikinis, which have bandeau tops that reveal the torso. You can opt for a suit with a low-rise bottom to show more skin or a high-waisted bottom that contours and controls the tummy. Some strapless swimsuits are convertible designs that come with removable straps that give you multiple swimsuit looks in one bathing suit.

When you're shopping for strapless swimsuits, it is important that you choose one with enough support for the breasts, as these styles do not provide the added lift of straps. Suits with underwires will lift keep the breasts lifted from underneath, and you can also find strapless designs with side boning for extra support through the bust.

These bandeau swimsuits are sometimes called "bandeau halters."

For women with smaller bust lines, bandeau swimsuits without straps are very flattering designs. Women with larger bust lines often love the halter style, which provides lift through the chest while still giving the look of a classic bandeau. Some halter neck tops also have built-in underwires to better support the breasts.

Choosing the Right Bandeau Style

To find the best bandeau bathing suit for your body, think about which areas you want to accentuate and which you want to disguise or make smaller in appearance. Bold and bright colors and large prints will call attention to the figure while dark colors and small prints will minimize trouble zones. Fringe and ruffles accents, however, can help mask a large bust for women who are bigger on top.
