Summer is well and truly on the horizon which can mean only one thing, I will soon be packing my bags and jetting off on my jolly's. Perhaps the main wardrobe dilemma I have when packing my suitcase is the question of what swimwear i'm going to be wearing this year?! I am by no means confident enough with my body to go parading about in a tiny bikini, however in the past I've never felt comfortable in an unflattering costume either, which only ever seem to be available in prints that are suitable for those that are above the age of 50.
That is until this year where the swimsuit is definitely ruling the roost; and with celebs such as Rihanna donning a one piece, the swimsuit is finally becoming cool again and an item that is becoming a must have in every girl's wardrobe. Due to the ever growing popularity of the swimsuit, swimming costumes are now filling high street stores in a variety of different styles such as backless, side-less and even versions of the infamous Borat 'mankini' - an option I can't see becoming very popular, but each to their own! This means that if the idea of covering up completely isn't something that thrills you, you're still able to show some skin whilst still covering up parts of you that are least preferred. A perfect solution!
The added beauty of a swimsuit is also the fact that they are suitable for all ladies, regardless of their figure; whether you're a size 8 or 18, the swimsuit is available in a style that can suit and flatter all.
Still, the age old dilemma that you don't get as tanned in a swimsuit is still present and won't be forgotten by many in a hurry. It's universally known that bikini's are a firm favourite amongst young adults, especially those who have been working hard at the gym all year round for no other reason than to look good in a bikini. What's the point of spending a lot of time and money perfecting your bikini body, only to cover it up for the duration of your holiday? The variety of the styles of bikinis also trump the swimsuit by a mile; string bottoms, briefs, shorts, triangle tops, bandeaus, are to name but a few, just some of the styles that the ever loved bikini is available in. It seems that while swimsuits flatter all, the bikini also offers a variety of styles to suit you whether you're a hourglass, a pear or an apple.
In the end it looks like the type of swimwear that a person is going wear will come down to nothing other than personal preference. Regardless of what's considered the swimsuit of the moment, there's always going to be people that disagree and believe that there's nothing better than a tiny bikini on the beach, whereas others will prefer nothing more than to cover up in a flattering swimsuit. With both types offering a range of styles and prints for everyone, it seems that whichever style people opt for, they're going to look great and find something to suit them perfectly.
