Color Guide for Bikinis

FAQ

What slims down swimwear?

If you are looking for swimwear to make you look slimmer you will need to look at dark colors such as black, dark blue or deep purple. These colors generally have a slimming effect and can make blemishes less noticeable. Vertical stripes help by making your figure appear longer making you look slimmer. Horizontal stripes, on the other hand, make you look wider. Swimwear with ruffles or pleats can help hide any imperfections and distract attention from certain areas of your body. If you want extra control you can consider wearing corrective swimsuits. Bomain is a brand that is very strong in this area.

Which bikini to buy?

Choosing the right bikini is not that simple. It depends on several factors including your body type and, of course, your personal preference. Halter bikini, triangle top or an underwire bikini top. The occasion in which you wear it also plays a role: comfortable day at the beach or sporting activities.

Where to buy bikini?

You can buy bikinis both online and offline. Both, of course, have advantages and disadvantages. Online you cannot feel with your own fingers what kind of fabric and quality it is. Also, colors may appear slightly different but on the other hand, it is easier to compare prices between different online stores, the assortment is often larger and you are not bound to opening hours. As said, both have their charms and it depends on your preference. We are absolute fans of online shopping and welcome you to our online bikini outlet.

Where to buy bikini in winter?

In winter, it can be a bit more challenging to find physical stores that still offer a wide selection of bikinis, as many stores often focus on seasonal clothing. However, here are some options where you can still buy bikinis, even in winter. Fortunately, there are outlet stores, specialized swimwear stores and online stores where you can often make a splash. How coincidental that Dutch Designers Outlet is all three! We sell winter bikinis of all brands at very sunny prices.

What do you put on over your bikini?

The answer is simple; a tunic. This is like a nice light, breezy beach shirt that allows you to protect yourself from the sun but also allows you to be more modest on a patio. A tunic is up to just over the buttocks. If you prefer a long model, you can look at a kaftan which is like a long dress. With a pareo you can go either way; you can tie it yourself into a short skirt, long skirt, halter dress or as a wrap.

What color bikini to match pale skin?

For people with pale skin, soft colors such as pastel pink, light blue, mint green or peach can be a flattering choice. These colors can brighten the complexion without creating too much contrast. Neutral tones such as beige, taupe or light gray can also be a nice option for a timeless and elegant look.

Which is better bikini or swimsuit?

Choosing between a bikini or swimsuit is all about personal preference and comfort. A bikini accentuates the waist and offers more freedom of movement, but some prefer the more covered feel of a swimsuit. Swimsuits often have built-in underwires for extra support in the chest area. It is important to choose swimwear that makes you feel confident and comfortable.

What kind of bikini for small breasts?

Looking for a small cup size bikini? A push up bikini with underwire can give extra volume and elevator for a fuller look. Triangle bikini tops and the bandeau bikini are also popular because they give the illusion of a larger bust. Details such as ruffles, frills and patterns are also a good choice because they add an extra dimension.

Can a bikini go in the wash?

Yes, a bikini can go in the wash, but it is best to hand wash it with cold water and a mild detergent. This helps the fabric and elastic to last longer. If you use the washing machine, put the bikini in a laundry bag and use a fine wash cycle with cold water. Avoid using fabric softeners and bleaches to preserve the colors and elasticity.

Can a bikini go in the dryer?

No, it is better not to put a bikini in the dryer. The heat may damage the fabric and elastic, causing your bikini to lose its shape and elasticity. Rather, let your bikini air dry. Lay it flat on a towel in the shade to prevent the colors from fading in direct sunlight. This will ensure that your bikini stays beautiful longer.
