Crochet Bikini – Different Styles to Consider

Lauren

Crochet bikinis are whimsical, sexy bikinis that many women enjoy wearing. They are often made from angora, acrylic, or metallic yarns for a beautiful look. If you want to try rocking your own crochet bikini, many different styles are available to choose from today. Before you make your decision, take a look at some of the great styles that are offered in this type of bikini.

Halter style bikinis are a popular option if you are looking for a great crochet bikini. Halter tops usually have a bit more material on top, if you want something more than a triangle style bikini. This style also offers a bit more support and lift on top, which is why women with fuller chests decide to go with this style.

Triangle style bikinis are another style of crochet bikinis to consider. They have triangle tops, which don’t offer a lot of coverage. While this may be fine for women who have smaller chests, fuller figured women will not find the support and lift that they need in a swimsuit. This style is best suited for more athletic figures that don’t need a lot of support from the bikini top.

Boyshort bottoms are one option that you can consider when purchasing a crochet bikini. These bikinis come with many bottom styles, but boyshorts are a popular option right now. Boyshorts tend to sit very low on the waist and accentuate nice hips. If your hips are your trouble spot, this is not the best bottom to choose.

You can find crochet bikinis that have Brazilian bikini bottoms on them. These bottoms are very skimpy and are usually worn by only the most confident. While some are plain bottoms, others come with side ties that are right at the hips. If you choose bottoms that tie, it’s important to be careful so you avoid accidentally untying them while you’re at the beach.

These are just a few of the exciting crochet bikini styles that you can choose from when purchasing swimsuits for hitting the pool or the beach. Not only can you choose from various styles, but many colors and patterns are available to you as well. White and black are probably the most popular colors, but reds, pinks, and multi color looks are also hot options.

Don’t be fooled into thinking that all the crochet patterns are alike. Different bikinis come with different crochet patterns. Some of them have very tight patterns that offer more coverage and support. Others have looser patterns that allow the skin to show through. If you choose this type of a crochet pattern on your bikini, it’s important to make sure you are not showing off too much skin. Looser patterns may be best for use at home in your own pool.

How to Select a String Bikini

Sarah

A string bikini is certainly not for the shy, since it leaves way less to the imagination than a one piece bathing suit. It is the most desired type, and its name comes from the strings that tie it together on the sides and occasionally behind the neck. The minimal construction consists of a single triangular piece of cloth covering the front and connected to the back.

A Brazilian fashion model launched the fashion out of necessity, when she had been caught on a photography shoot with hardly any material at hand. But the first string bikini event was a 1974 fashion display, where the models integrated the shock factor by taking off heavy furs to expose them.

Here are a few tips on selecting the right bikini for you. Style is critical, because people will be staring at you and the swimsuit. You may get any style, providing a full range of coverage alternatives for your rear. If you’re somewhat shy, select a bottom having full coverage, and should you be daring, you should buy a string thong type.

Since the string bikini has just a few strategic wisps of material, select one whose color design harmonizes with your skin tone. Be sure you anticipate whether you’ll have a tan at the time you wear the swimsuit. Bring a friend, and see if you can talk her into purchasing one, too.

You are buying this kind of swimsuit to be noticed, so invest some time trying various sizes and styles. When you find a swimsuit you adore, try both a size larger as well as a size smaller. Ignore the size written on the label.

If you have tried on a specific brand of bikini, and you are aware how their sizing works, by all means try to find a deal on-line. This strategy only works when you have lots of lead time before you want to wear the bikini.

Bandeau Bikini – Make the Right Choice for Your Figure

Sarah

As swimsuit season will be here soon, you are probably already looking to find the right bikini. One of the leading trends for the upcoming season actually is the bandeau bikini, and it really is easy to understand why it’s one of the hot trends this year. It looks hot and it is available in various styles, and that means you will find something to match your style. Needless to say, you do need to remember that this style of bikini is not always forgiving, which means you have to think about your body shape before you decide it’s the best one for you. Because these strapless tops scarcely cover your breasts, you’ll want to make sure you pick the right one. Here are some helpful suggestions to remember to make sure you’re making the right choice.

Understand There is Little Support

One thing to think about if you are thinking about a bandeau bikini is the fact that there is very little support provided with this type of a bikini. Before you choose to get one, consider whether it is likely to perform well with your shape. Typically this works the best for girls who have smaller chest sizes. Bra sizes A and B each perform nicely with the bandeau tops, however you will find that larger chested gals generally will not have the support that they will need.

Remember Your Personality and Style

If you do find that the bandeau bikini works well with your shape, make sure you consider your personality and style when picking out the right one for your needs as well. Most of these choices are strapless, although a few may come with straps, which may work for women who desire a little more support. Various adornments can be found on these bikinis as well, including shells, sequins, and sometimes imitation diamonds. Several of the styles have small keyholes, that will make the bandeau bikini appear even sexier on you.

Always Buy the Correct Size

It’s especially essential that you choose the proper size when you are selecting your bandeau bikini. Choose a size that is too big and you may find yourself having a nasty wardrobe malfunction while you’re swimming or having a good time on the beach. Of course, on the other hand, if the swimsuit winds up being too little, you will end up showing off bulges that will be less than desirable. Ensure that the bikini fits regardless how you move so you avoid any difficulties when wearing this bikini alternative.

Bandeau bikinis are amazing. Just make sure that they’re the right choice for you. Using these useful tips and hints, you’re going to be sure to choose the perfect style for your body and your unique sense of style.

How to Care for Your Metallic Bikini

Lauren

If you’re going for the glam look at the beach, a metallic bikini will give you the look that you want. These swimsuits are show-stopping numbers that are just as sexy as a string bikini. They will definitely set you apart from everyone else out there. You’ll be shining out among all the other girls on the beach. (The “scrunch bikini” style is my favorite metallic bikini!)

Of course, if you pay quite a bit of money for your swimsuit, you want to take good care of it. Here is a look at some important care tips to remember to keep your metallic bikini shining and looking incredible when you wear it.

First, make sure that you only wash the metallic bikini in cold water and this should be done by hand. You also need to make sure that the fabric cleanser you use is very gentle. One good option to try is Woolite. Just use a small amount and wash in the cool water for good results.

Although you don’t have to wash it each time that you use the metallic bikini, it is important that you at least rinse it out good after each time that you wear it if you don’t have the time to wash it. This is especially important if you have been in a pool with a lot of chlorine or you have been at the beach.

Bleach can actually melt through the swimsuit. Make sure you don’t use any bleach on your metallic bikini or you’ll have to buy a new one. If you stain the bikini, use some gentle soap and water right away to get the stain out.

If you need to dry the swimsuit, it is best to simply use a low or “no” heat setting. However, the best option is to merely allow it to air dry. This way your swimsuit doesn’t get damaged by the heat.

If you take good care of your metallic bikini, you’ll be able to protect this investment. Then you’ll be able to wear it out on the beach with confidence, knowing that it looks amazing and you look sexy.

How to Choose the Right Bikini Style for Your Body

Melissa

If you’re ready to take some time to bikini shop, you’ll quickly find that many different bikini styles are available. The important thing to remember when purchasing cute bikinis is that you need to choose a style that is suitable for your body. Every woman is different and deals with different trouble spots. Make sure you take your figure into consider when purchasing your next swimsuit. To help you choose the right style for your body, here are several tips to remember.

Small Chest

For women who have a small chest, the right style should include a bit of padding. Bandeau bikini styles can also look great on women who are smaller in this area. You may also want to look for bikinis that have bold prints, ruffles, and adjustable straps.

Larger Chest

If you happen to have a larger chest, it’s essential that you look for options that offer support when you’re visiting your favorite online bikini store. Underwire tops are a great option. Halter style bikinis are a nice option, offering plenty of support. Wider straps are also a good choice, since they offer better support and are more comfortable.

Wide Hips

Are you self-conscious about wider hips? If so, look for bikinis that have darker bottoms. High cut bikini bottoms can make legs look longer and slimmer too. Try bikini options with miniskirts that minimize your hips. Always avoid ruffled bottoms and boy shorts, which may add more bulk to the hip area.

Short Torso/Legs

For those who have a short torso or short legs, high cut bottoms help to lengthen legs. Thin vertical stripes can also help to lengthen the body, making your torso look longer.

Wide Shoulders

As you’re checking out the bikini shops, look for light bottoms if you’re dealing with wider shoulders. Bottom details on the bikinis such as sashes, ties, and belts can take the eye off your wider shoulders.

Plus Size Women

Dark solid colors are a great choice for plus size women shopping for bikini swimsuits. Vertical or herringbone prints help to slim you down as well. Skirted bikinis and tankinis help you cover a bit more and have a slimming effect too.

Straight Figure

If your figure is straight and boyish, look for bikinis that will give you some curves. Ruffles and sashes can add some curves around the hips. High cut bottoms also give the illusion of more curves.
