4 Tips to Choosing the Perfect Summer Swimwear This Summer

panache swimwear

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.

Every year, like clockwork, Canadians divide into two passionate camps: Camp WAIT UNTIL DECEMBER, YOU MONSTER and Camp LIGHT IT UP, BABY, IT’S NOVEMBER 3RD. And then… there’s me. I put mine up the first week of November! Yes, seven days before many believe “the season has officially begun,” and I regret absolutely nothing. Because honestly? The moment the tree lit up, my whole living room felt warmer, happier, and more peaceful — kind of like slipping into a perfectly supportive bra after wearing the wrong one for years. Because as soon as the girls stop bouncing, you power up like the NYC tree on lighting day — boom, instant confidence, and ready to sprint through Times Square like a woman on a mission!

Fall has always been a shifting season for me—kind of like my bra drawer, constantly evolving, never quite the same from one decade to the next.
