Where to buy sexy swimwear online
For swimwear that looks and feels sexy, try Lovehoney. You’ll find a range of styles, from sexy one piece swimwear to barely-there thong bikinis.
These looks may be extra hot, but you can cool off in the pool, since they’re made with soft, quick-drying materials designed for wear in the water.
Returns are easy, as you’ll see below. Plus, your order will arrive in discreet packaging, which is ideal for gifting (and avoiding gossip).
How do I choose sexy swimwear for my body type?
No matter your body type, you can wear any swimwear style you feel confident in. There’s no “right” style, so long as you feel amazing.
That said, you might find these tips helpful:
- For a lifted bust: Look for sexy push-up swimwear. Molded cups and underwire offer shaping and support, which is handy for anyone with bigger breasts.
- For a flattering midsection: If you’re self-conscious about baring everything, sexy high-waisted swimwear gives you coverage while still showing off your curves. The retro silhouette feels classy and flirty.
- For low-maintenance allure: Worried about losing a skimpy bikini in the water (hey, it happens)? Look for sexy one-piece swimwear that has cut-outs, a plunging neckline, or an open-back. They’re easy to wear but still look amazing.
How do I know what size to order in swimwear online?
Your usual clothing size is a good place to start, but be sure to check the size guide as sizing can run a little different between brands and styles.
For sexy two-piece swimwear, measure your bust, waist, and hips and compare them to the listed measurements. If you’re unsure, look for styles with adjustable straps like a string bikini. You can size down for a more revealing look or size up to play it safe; the tie-style straps are super forgiving.
For one piece swimwear, it’s also helpful to consider your torso length. A suit that’s too short in the body will pull uncomfortably. Check the product description, as it will often tell you the model’s height and what size they’re wearing, which may help you compare.
Generally, swimwear is made from stretchy materials, but be careful of sizing down too much. Too-tight suits won’t sit right on your curves, and they could dig uncomfortably into your hips, groin, and underbust.
How to style women’s sexy swimwear beyond the pool
A simple sarong or oversized linen shirt is all you need to take swimwear from lounging on the sand to a beachside bar. Sexy black swimsuits are the most versatile, doubling as a bodysuit that looks chic with tailored trousers or a crochet summer dress.
You can easily style women’s swimwear for festivals and day parties, too. Try a vibrant triangle bikini with high waisted shorts and a fedora for a care-free, summer-friendly look.
Right now, 90s-inspired metallics are everywhere, and they look great when paired with neutrals like beige, black, or cream. Try a sexy gold bikini with low-rise cream pants and large gold hoop earrings.
Can I swim in lingerie-style swimwear?
Yes, even sexy swimwear is designed to get wet! That said, it helps to know how to choose and care for your looks.
When buying swimwear, look out for fabric blends like polyester or nylon with spandex, as these dry quickly and have lots of stretch. Polyester is the most durable, especially in sunny countries with high UV levels or chlorine pools.
Nylon is more lightweight, soft, and silky, which makes it perfect for fashion bikinis and sexy swimwear. You can wear nylon bikinis in the water, though they’re generally better suited to lounging by the pool or seducing someone in your hotel room!
To keep your swimwear in good condition, rinse it in cool, fresh water after every swim. Saltwater and chlorinated pools can break down elastic fibers over time, causing them to lose their stretch and shape.
Handwash delicate or sheer swimwear or wash them on a cool, delicates cycle in a laundry bag. Avoid wringing them out as this will stress the fabric.
What’s Lovehoney’s return policy on swimwear?
You can easily return unworn swimwear items with tags intact, provided you do this within the returns window. Please only try swimwear over your own garments, otherwise your return won’t be accepted. Check out our return policy for more information.
