With the arrival of sunny days, the beach becomes an essential destination to enjoy the sun and cool off. For those who wish to preserve their modesty, the burkini offers a swimsuit option that combines comfort and respect for personal beliefs. But how do you choose the one that will enhance your figure while being practical for swimming?
How to choose a burkini that suits your body shape?
To find the right burkini style , start by identifying your body type: are you hourglass, pear, apple, rectangle, or inverted triangle? Each body shape has distinct characteristics. For example, if you have an hourglass shape, opt for a burkini that balances the proportions between the shoulders and hips. Next, think about the support needed. Some styles have a built-in bra to provide better support for the bust, essential for combining comfort and security when moving on the sand or in the water. Fabrics are also essential elements to consider. Choose materials that dry quickly and are chlorine-resistant, ensuring durability and convenience. Stretchy fibers, such as elastane, allow for great freedom of movement while still hugging the curves.
Tips to extend the life of your clothes
First, rinse your burkini in clean water after each use. Sea salt, chlorine, and sunscreen oils can damage the fabric over time. Rinsing immediately helps remove these residues and preserve elasticity and color. Avoid machine washing too often. Hand wash with mild detergent and cold water to prevent shrinkage and fading. Do not twist the fabric to wring it out, as this can break the fibers and distort the garment. When drying, do not hang your burkini in direct sunlight. Instead, choose a shaded and well-ventilated area. Also, make sure to lay it flat to prevent it from stretching under its own weight.
