Suits the best

1 Always buy a perfect fit or slightly smaller one as swimsuits tend to expand and loosen in the water.

2 Adjustable straps or tie-ups can help if the suit size changes once in water.

3 You should always prioritise the fit. The bikini should give your body support wherever its needed.

4 Some fabrics do not stretch as much as others do, so choose the size according to the stretchability.
