With summer in full effect, it’s the perfect time to bust out your favourite swimwear and hit the beach or poolside. If you’re lucky, you’ve got your go-to suit ready for action. However, for those looking for the perfect swimwear to beat the heat, we’ve got you covered.


Here are four tips to choosing the perfect swimwear, so you can worry less about navigating through endless options and get back to enjoying a refreshing splash this summer.

Comfort. Comfort. Comfort

Comfort and confidence go hand in hand. Making sure your swimsuit fits well and doesn’t distract because of how uncomfortable the straps are or how the material feels on your body is priority number one.


When you choose swimwear that you actually enjoy for yourself rather than something you feel pressured to wear from others, you can expect to feel happier, more empowered, and ready to take on the world-- or at least the waves.


Stand-out With Your Favourite Print, Pattern, or Design

Women’s swimwear comes in many prints, patterns, and designs, so finding the perfect suit for your unique aesthetic won’t be a problem. In Canada, it’s not every day that you get to sport your favourite swimsuit, so have fun exploring your different options until you find one that really speaks to you.


If prints or patterns aren’t your thing, that'll be totally okay too. Solid colour swimwear, like Panache’s
Holly black underwired swimsuit, provides a classic and minimalistic look that can be incredibly versatile for wherever you wear it, especially if you want a cohesive look with your sports bra or athletic wear going from the gym to the poolside.

One-Piece Swimwear vs. Two-Piece: What’s Best?

This is the most polarizing choice: one-piece or two-piece swimsuit?


One-piece swimwear offers the ultimate combination of coverage, comfort, and support. Its body-hugging elastane materials form to your curves and sometimes offer options to add a skirt for a more modest look. The classic design is flattering for all body types and offers great customization that helps you stand out from the rest.


Two-piece swimwear has evolved tremendously over the years. Women now can choose from styles like bikini, triangle top, halter, bandeau, and more. Although there is less support than a one-piece, the variety in styles means there’s something for everyone.


Beware of Tan Lines

One major thing stylists suggest you should consider when choosing the perfect swimwear is the potential tan lines you can get from under the sun. Intricate designs and cut-outs can look great but make sure you wear sunscreen so they don’t cast abstract tan lines when you aren’t wearing the suit anymore.

Title: Pickleball and Pizzazz: Aging Gracefully with a Side of Fitness Fun! Hello, lovely ladies of the Booby Gazette community! Brigitte Lessard here, your spirited guide from SPORTSBRAS.CA, ready to dish out some wisdom on aging gracefully while keeping the fitness vibe fun and fabulous. So, let's rewind a bit, shall we? Picture this: I, the fearless owner of SPORTSBRAS.CA, decided to take on a challenge thrown down by our resident fitness guru. The task? To gracefully lay down on my back, pop back up, then repeat the process on my front. Sounds easy-peasy, right? Wrong! As someone who used to zip around the tennis court like a pro and even earned a ranking in Alberta at the tender age of 35, and let's not forget my 20+ years of hockey glory, this little test was definitely an eye-opener. But fear not, my friends, for every stumble comes an opportunity for a triumphant comeback. Enter pickleball – my latest obsession and saving grace! Now, you might be wondering, "Pickleball? Really?" Oh, yes! This quirky, paddle-wielding sport has become my secret weapon in the ongoing battle against Father Time. Not only does it keep me on my toes (quite literally), but it also injects a healthy dose of excitement into my routine. And with my ENELL keeping the “girls” in check, I am ready for a big comeback!

Let's talk about manifestation. It's more than just wishing for something to happen; it's about practicing for when you receive it. And that's exactly what I did during my recent trip to Mexico. I made a decision—not just a wish, but a firm decision—to host retreats for women in Mexico. These retreats would be a sanctuary for women to immerse themselves in the rich spiritual Mexican culture, fitness activities, and delectable cuisine of the region.
