White Swimsuits

If you’re going to swim in a pool, you should choose a swimsuit that can withstand chlorine, so that it doesn't fade and lose its shape. Lycra/spandex and nylon are chlorine-sensitive fabrics, so rather opt for a polyester swimsuit.

• Nylon is stretchy and dries easily. On the other hand, it is not very durable and can easily fade in the sun.

• Lycra/spandex is also a stretchy fabric, so if you want a really tight swimsuit, this is what you should look for.

• Polyester is very durable, but not as stretchy as the other fabrics. A polyester swimsuit also gets heavy in the water.

There are also swimsuits with UV protection, which is indicated on a scale of 15 and up. The higher the number, the better the protection.

The swimsuit will stretch as you wear it, so choose one that’s a little too tight, rather than one that’s a little loose. As for the top, the entire breast should fit in the cup – if they spill out on the sides, the swimsuit is too small. If you have larger breasts, it might be more comfortable to wear a swimsuit with underwire to support your bust.
