Swimsuit types explained - your go-to guide for your next swimwear purchase

swimsuit types: Seafolly, Next, Sloggi, Cos, Bravissimo

Navigating the numerous swimsuit types can be a sartorial nightmare. With some many different silhouettes available, we've asked experts to explain the different swimwear shapes available and how you can get the most out of your bathing suit selection this summer and beyond.

Shopping for the best swimsuit is rarely straightforward, as there are a number of factors to consider. Do you want a one piece swimsuit or a two-piece? Something sporty? Or are you more concerned with the level of support, for piece of mind when swimming. The best high-waisted swimsuits, sculpt, support and highlight your waist, but there are also low-slung, midi and barely-there briefs, for those that want a little less coverage. The options are endless, and that’s before you’ve even considered things like colour and fabric.
