Bright swimwear is great for wearing by the pool and on the beach. Bright colours make you feel more vibrant and give you a boost of confidcence. Bright swimsuits are bang on trend so we’ve got some lovely bright swimsuits for you to choose from. We are going to showcase some of our brightest swimsuits for you to pop in your basket for your next beach trip or pool day.
Bright Swimwear
Did you know that wearing bright swimwear isn’t just about making a fashion statement, it also serves a much more practical purpose? Bright colours can be seen much more easily in water. This is important for children and those swimming in open water – both groups are much more likely to need assistance and brighter colours can be seen better under water. Neon colours like pink and orange are the most noticeable.
The popularity of bright swimsuits can be seen across to celebrity world - singer Katy Perry was spotted matching with Orlando Bloom in a bright purple bikini during their holiday in St. Tropez, showcasing how bright swimwear can be both chic and eye-catching. If you always wear black swimsuits, maybe it’s time to come out of your comfort zone and embrace this trend.
Choosing the Right Bright Swimwear
When selecting a bright swimsuit, you should think about the following things.
Skin Tone: We suggest that you opt for colours that complement your skin tone to enhance your natural features. We’ve got a fantastic post about what colour swimsuit for pale skin which is worth a read.
Body Type: Different swimsuit styles suit different body types. If you are feeling more body-conscious about wearing a bright colour, opt for a swimsuit that has bright colours on just one part of your swimsuit. One-piece suits can offer more coverage and support.
Activity Level: For active swimming strokes like butterfly, water sports or aqua classes you should make sure that your swimwear fits well and will keep you supported and covered during your time in the water. Have a look at our best swimsuit for aqua aerobics or our post about the best surf swimsuit. You might also find our post about the best swimsuits for a water park useful if you want to wear a supportive swimsuit that will stay put when whooshing down the slides.
Bright swimwear is a great choice for outdoor and pool swimming. If you are heading away on holiday, a bright swimsuit is a smart option to add to your holiday suitcase, as you’ll feel fantastic wearing it, you’ll also be able to show off your sun-kissed look with style.
