How do you know if a bikini fits properly?

As a woman, it is important to wear a bikini that makes you feel comfortable and confident. But how do you know if a bikini fits properly? And more importantly, how do you determine which bikini model suits your body best? In this article we share useful tips and guidelines to ensure that you find the perfect bikini.

 

The right size

 

One of the most crucial aspects when choosing a bikini is the size. The wrong size can cause the fit to be less than optimal and make you feel uncomfortable in the bikini. Here are a few tips to make sure you select the right size:

  1. Measuring is knowing: Take accurate measurements of your bust, waist and hips before shopping for a bikini online. Compare these measurements with the Scorpio Swimwear size chart to determine the correct size.
  2. Lingerie is not the same as swimwear: It may happen that your lingerie size is not the same as your swimwear size. For example, with swimwear, if you are between two sizes, it is better to choose the smallest size. Wet swimwear is heavier than dry lingerie.
  3. Support: Make sure you have enough support, especially if you have a larger bust. Choose bikinis with adjustable straps, underwire or built-in cups to provide the right support. If you do not need a lot of support, it is sometimes better to choose a bikini without underwire. This way you have more freedom of movement.

 

The right model

 

In addition to the size, it is also important to choose the right bikini model that best suits your body. Here are a few guidelines to help you select the perfect model:

  1. Body Shape: First identify your body shape to better understand which type of bikini flatters you. For example, are you a pear figure with wider hips? Then choose high-waisted bikini bottoms to emphasize your waist.
  2. Bust: Do you have a smaller bust? Then choose bralette or triangle bikinis that give your breasts more volume. For women with a larger bust, extra support is important, so look for bikinis with thicker straps and underwire.
  3. Leg length: Do you want to create optically longer legs? Then go for high-cut bikini bottoms that make your legs look longer.
  4. Color and pattern: Choose colors and patterns that accentuate your best features and camouflage any problem areas. Dark colors have a slimming effect, while prints and details can draw attention to specific areas.

 

Additional tips

 

Here are a few extra tips to ensure that your bikini always fits well:

  • Always try on the bikini: It is important to always try on the bikini before taking it with you on a trip/to the beach/swimming pool. That way you can be sure that the fit is good and that you feel comfortable in it. You can always return the size that is too small/too large if you adhere to the policy.
  • Freedom of movement: Make sure you have sufficient freedom of movement in your chosen bikini. After all, you don't want to be restricted during swimming or other activities on the beach or at the pool.
  • Care instructions: Always read the care instructions of the bikini to ensure that it remains in good condition after every wash. This way it retains its shape and color for a longer period of time. Be sure to read our ' Size and advice ' page for further tips.
