There are many factors to consider when choosing swimwear such as your body shape, skin tone, preferences, favourite colours, ease of maintenance etc. The type of material is another important factor to consider as this will impact how the swimwear feels against your skin and how long it will last for.
You can choose swimwear colours depending on your preferences and personality as well.
For example, if you are looking for something timeless and elegant, white or black bikini tops will be great options. However, once you have found a style and colour you like, you need to check the material it is made with. One of the most popular materials used for swimwear is nylon and this is chosen given its durability and comfort level. It is excellent when it comes to stretching and recovery so that you will be able to use the swimsuit for a longer time and the shape will be maintained even after multiple uses. Some fabrics tend to get damaged and become discoloured with exposure to saltwater and chlorine but nylon has a resistance to this; so if you are a regular swimmer, nylon is a good material to consider. It will also dry quickly. You can find many swimsuits on the market that are made out of a combination of nylon and spandex so that you have sufficient flexibility and support.

Spandex which is also known as elastane is a synthetic fibre
And you can blend it with materials like polyester or nylon in order to create a snug fit. Spandex is great for letting the swimsuit maintain its shape so that it will not start sagging after use. However, the right balance of spandex is important as having too much can be quite uncomfortable while having too little might not give you enough support. Polyester is also used in swimwear because of its durability. It is also resistant to fading and stretching along with damage caused by saltwater and chlorine. Swimsuits made out of polyester will not have the same stretchy quality as a nylon and spandex blend but it will retain the shape of the swimsuit for a long time. If you are looking for a material that will provide you with a firm fit, polyester is a good option.

For swimwear with excellent stretch properties,
You can look for lycra swimsuits and these prevent sagging. You can wear this to swim or lounge by the pool and you don’t need to worry about the swimsuit not being able to maintain its shape. There are also microfiber swimsuits that are very comfortable and this material will dry very quickly. It is most often used for cover ups, swim shorts and beachwear. This will provide you with a relaxed fit. For wetsuits, the most commonly used material is neoprene which is a synthetic rubber material and this is chosen because it offers a lot of warmth and insulation especially when you are swimming in cold water. This is great for scuba diving and any activities in cold water.
