A swimsuit dress is a completely new and unusual wardrobe item. There are a huge number of models and materials from which they are made. Although the style is called that, however, you can’t always swim in this dress. It’s rather a great option for going to the beach or for a simple walk around the summer city.
Advantages and disadvantages
The main advantages of a swimsuit dress are its closedness. This allows women with figure flaws to wear it and even wear it not only to the beach. Often, when going to the lake or the sea, we think about what to wear over the swimsuit so that it looks good and fits comfortably. Summer tunics, sundresses, pareos usually come to the rescue, but a dress of this style completely solves the dilemma with the choice of clothes.
The only drawback, perhaps, may be the fabric (if lycra or polyester is used). The swimsuit fabric does not breathe, the body sweats, it is not very pleasant to be in it all day because of the tactile sensations. In addition, if after the beach you decide to walk around the neighborhood or the city, such fabric will look very inappropriate.
It is believed that closed swimsuits are no longer relevant and today they only serve to hide figure flaws or embarrassment. However, this is not true. In a closed swimsuit dress, a woman can look sexy and attractive. An additional advantage is that today more and more original styles and designs of this item of clothing are appearing. A new trend is gaining momentum in the fashion industry, today bathing dresses can be easily seen even on celebrities and movie stars.
Who is it suitable for?
Bathing dresses are often used for going to the beach, for a walk or for relaxing with the family. Such a dress will be an ideal solution for mothers playing, running after children. Since children require a lot of attention, a mother may simply not have time to change clothes and a half-dress/half-swimsuit will be an ideal option.
The skirt will allow even the most modest, constrained girls to calmly be on the beach, without embarrassment. Also, the free, rather closed style will hide the flaws of the figure, if you are worried about them. The swimsuit-dress is ideal for plump women. A closed swimsuit dress covers not only the upper thighs, but also problem areas on the sides, in the abdomen.
In principle, a swimsuit dress suits almost everyone:
- For young girls;
- For fashionistas;
- Models and movie stars;
- For small children;
- For mothers and grandmothers.
This is simply a rather comfortable, beautiful, original wardrobe item. Bathing dresses are perfect even for little fashionistas, for whom this will be a comfortable, feminine, beautiful option for going to the beach. This is comfortable clothing for children, the fabric will not ride up or sit uncomfortably.
Models and styles
A swimsuit dress often has wide straps that smoothly flow into the top. Traditionally, a small belt or just a seam is made under the chest, from which a rather loose skirt begins. The dress can combine a swimsuit or a bodysuit, over which there is fabric that resembles a skirt. But this is not necessary, dresses of this style have already become an independent element.
Some models really look like regular summer sundresses, some of which differ only in the fabric. If the top of the models is quite monotonous, then the choice of skirt styles is great. From traditional narrow mini to sun skirts and robe dresses. Sometimes you can even find bathing dress models with a maxi skirt, and they look no less interesting. The skirt can be decorated with ruffles or frills, have a multi-layered structure or a simple cut with a straight edge.
Dress swimsuits can act as a sports uniform for playing basketball or volleyball on the beach with a group. They sit comfortably, such models actually consist of a combined skirt-shorts and a T-shirt. But an open top with attractive shapes is also found no less often.
Dresses acquire originality due to straps with large brooches and decorations, due to unusual cutouts on the back and chest. By the way, closed models can look more attractive and sexy if they have a cutout on the chest or back. Many models are made in a marine theme, for example, a dress can be decorated with white and blue stripes or just a solid blue color.
What should the fabric be like?
Often, the most common fabric is used in the production of these models, in most cases cotton. But the models also often have details, inserts, or are completely made of fabric traditionally used for swimsuits:
- Lycra;
- Polyester;
- Polyamide;
- Microfiber.
Since women want to walk or show off in such dresses more than actually swim, of course the fabric variations are mostly more casual. Bathing suit dresses can easily be found even in velvet, silk or simpler and more environmentally friendly linen.
For the beach, a bathing dress made of lycra, polyamide and polyester is more suitable. Often, in order to achieve maximum comfort and a beautiful appearance, manufacturers can use a mixture of fabrics, such as cotton and polyester in different proportions.
In most cases, preference is still given to practicality, fabrics are chosen that dry quickly, stretch easily, and do not restrict movement. This allows you to make even a skirt for a dress light, elegant, while combining all the functionality of a traditional swimsuit. In addition, elastic fabric has another huge advantage: it tightens, corrects the figure. Due to which every girl can feel confident, comfortable and attractive.
How to choose depending on the purpose
There are basically two types of swimsuit dresses, a casual summer dress or a bathing dress, more intended for the beach. This is the main difference between the models and the fabrics used. A swimsuit dress is suitable for staying in a hot climate, everyday walks in the warm summer, relaxing on the beach or by the pool. More expensive, sophisticated fabrics look amazing in the evening, you can go to a cafe on the coast or walk along the embankment in them. In the summer, short, simple styles look advantageous. The main aspect of choice is the style, which directly depends on the woman's figure and her desire to show or hide some part of the body.
For the first half of the day, it is better to choose bright, colorful or light models, while for the evening or for a walk around the city, calm dark shades of fabrics are more suitable. Light-colored dresses are also acceptable to wear on a warm evening, but they must be complemented with suitable accessories. The most popular colors are:
- Monochrome (dark);
- With geometric patterns;
- Strip;
- Hawaiian.
For active leisure and games, low-waist models that resemble tennis players' outfits are better suited. Bathing dresses were popular before, several decades ago. Then it was unacceptable to show off the naked body, such bathing suits were made in various shapes and designs so that women felt attractive on the beach even in closed clothes. As you know, fashion returns, old trends become relevant again. How many beautiful pictures from retro magazines we have seen and admired the beauty of women, the elegance of their bathing suit, now such outfits are becoming available again.
