FAQ

Best swimwear for bigger bellies

Tankinis, high-waist bottoms and shaping swimsuits with supportive lining and vertical lines. Choose firm, matte fabrics.

What makes swimwear slimming?

Darker colors, matte fabrics, shaping linings and vertical/diagonal lines. Pick styles that lift and center.

Which bikini should I buy?

Choose by fit and activity: triangle or balconette for shape, high‑waist for smoothing, sturdy straps for support. Look for chlorine/UV‑resistant fabrics.

Where to buy a bikini?

Lingerie/swim stores and trusted webshops. Check size chart, fabric, return policy and reviews. Try multiple sets for best fit.

Where to buy a bikini in winter?

Online swim specialists and outlets with resort collections. Filter by season, size and support; watch delivery times for sunny trips.

What to wear over a bikini?

Tunic, kimono, beach dress or linen shirt. Pick airy, quick‑dry fabrics and a length that fits your plan.

Best bikini color for fair skin?

Soft pastels or warm tones (coral, peach) add warmth; dark contrast lightens skin. Avoid cool white if it washes you out.

Bikini or one‑piece—what’s better?

Depends on comfort and goals: bikini for mix‑and‑match and tanning; one‑piece for shaping and active swimming. Choose what you prefer.

Best bikini for small busts?

Triangle or balconette with light padding/push‑up, texture or ruffles for volume, and adjustable straps for lift and shape.

Why do we wear swimwear?

Hygiene, protection and comfort in water: support, coverage, UV protection and reduced drag.

What is a tanga?

A brief with narrow sides and medium coverage—less visible under clothes than classic briefs.

Can you machine‑wash a bikini?

Yes—in a mesh bag on cold/30°C delicate with mild detergent. No softener, avoid hot cycles.

Can a bikini go in the dryer?

Prefer not—heat degrades elastane. Roll in a towel and air‑dry flat, out of sun.

Good day fine reader, nice to welcome you here to a new class of Dutch Designers Outlet her Lingerie and Swimwear expert. Do you also find it so difficult to find a bikini that fits you well? We totally get it. Finding the one bikini that conquers beaches (or at least makes you comfortable by the pool) is no easy task because the choice is quite diverse. Just to throw some on: bandeau bikini top, the triangle or a halter bikini with underwire....

Just know, this mission is not impossible! In fact, in this blog I will give you the tips so that you will find that perfect bikini that suits you.

Which bikini fits my figure? Tips & Tricks

To find out which bikini suits your figure well, it is important to know what body figure you have. I wrote about it before in the blog "Which bikini makes you slim?". Not every body is the same and that is precisely what makes you so unique. This is a quick guide to learn what body type you have and what swimwear to wear with it.

Bikinis for an apple figure

Are you a little wider around your waist than your hips and breasts? Then you probably have an apple figure. The trick is to create an optical balance. Look for bikinis with high-waisted bottoms. That's a bikini bottom that sits high on the hips. This will draw attention upward and put the spotlight on your beautiful legs. A halter top can also work wonders. This one draws attention to your shoulders and face.

Bikinis for a Pear Figure

Wider at the hips and waist than at the breasts and shoulders? Then you undoubtedly have a pear figure! A pear figure is very similar to a triangle figure. The difference is that someone with a triangle figure has a narrower waist. With this type of figure, you want to accentuate the upper body.

You can do this by wearing a top with ruffles or bold prints. These bikini tops will emphasize your upper body and if you match it with a triangle top, it's all over. This new best friend adds more volume to the torso and creates a balanced silhouette.

Bikinis for an hourglass figure

Do you have equal sized breasts and hips with a narrower waist? Your body type is the classic hourglass figure. Congratulations!!! You can wear almost any type of bikini. Do you want to accentuate your curves? Then a bikini bottom with a high leg cut will be the best option. As an hourglass figure, it doesn't really matter what kind of bikini top you wear. It is just what you find comfortable and beautiful. Feel free to choose a bikini top that emphasizes deep cleavage or a charming bandeau bikini paired with a pareo as a dress so you can order a cocktail at the beach bar in stylish beachwear.

By the way, did you know that most bandeau bikini tops are also strapless? No straps over the shoulders also means you don't have to worry about tanlines.

Bikinis for a straight body

Do you now have little difference between the size of your breasts, waist and hips? Don't worry! There are plenty of options that add shape. Go for push-ups, prints, cut-outs and anything with texture. That way, you'll show everyone that a figure with straight lines can be just as sexy.

What does the color of your bikini say about you?

Now that we know which bikini best suits your figure, you still need to determine the color of the bikini. The color of your bikini says something about who you are, without putting your money where your mouth is. Do you go for a bold statement with a bright color? Or do you prefer to stick to a classic black bikini? Not sure yet? Then read on for some tips on finding the right color.

Bright colors

Are you putting on your finest neon halter bikini? Yes, you are the center of the party! You are not afraid of spotlights. Because these colors say "here I am". You are confident and energetic. Plus, of course, your tan matches this brightly colored bikini perfectly. Totally ready for summer.

Pastel shades

Are you going for pastel shades? Then you are choosing a subtle yet powerful statement. This bikini doesn't have to be "loud" to be noticed. Just as shorts scream much less than mini bikini bottoms. Perhaps you are more understated, but with an undeniable depth. You love tranquility, beauty and sophistication. In this bikini, you are ready for a soothing summer.

Black or white bikinis

Ah, the classics. Black says "elegant, mysterious and timeless." It is the little black dress of bikinis. White, on the other hand, screams "fresh, pure and innocent." Both are perfect for those who want to make a statement. The effect of these colors in clothing is to say, "I know who I am and have nothing to prove."

Flowers and tropical prints

Summery, cheerful and always up for a good time. Does this sound familiar to you? Then you are probably optimistic and sociable. You wear your heart on your sleeve. That is why your bikini also radiates that you enjoy life. Choose bikinis with flowers and tropical prints, they are a go-to for you.

Bikini outfits to style

Now that you have chosen a bikini, you can still turn it into a great beach outfit. This is all about the details. How do you get those? Right, accessories! Put on eye-catching sunglasses and choose your prettiest beach dress made of nice breezy fabric. Don't forget your beach bag too, filled with all your essentials for a day at the beach. Pair this with cute beach sandals and you're all set for your day out.

Finding the bikini that fits you at Dutch Designers Outlet

If you follow these tips, you will find the bikini that best suits your body and personality. But whether you go for pastel colors or a classic, the most important thing is that you feel fantastic in the bikini or swimsuit you are wearing! It's time to find that bikini. Start looking for the bikini in the right shape and color in our web shop. We have the cutest bikinis from designer brands at even better prices so you can save a lot of money and keep your bikini bottoms in your pocket.

Bikini, tankini and swimsuit. Choice stress?

Some stress still arises. What do you choose for which moment. A sexy bikini with a tiny bottom you might not wear on vacation where your in-laws are also present. Do you have a figure that can handle both a swimsuit and bikini? Or do you want to cover your belly a little? In Dutch Designers Outlet's swimwear collection you will find swimsuits of all shapes and sizes.
