10 Swimsuits to Suit Every Shape and Style

From post-masectomy swimwear to curve-hugging costumes, find good mood swimsuits for summer 2022 in the edit below …

1.BODY-SCULPTING Need a discreet boost? In general, ruching has a gentle shaping effect, while plunging necklines flatter your décolletage. Penneys’ ribbed control-fit recycled polyester swimsuit, €14, has a flattering power mesh panel at the tummy and is fully lined. The square neckline and wide elasticated straps provide support. In sizes 6-20.

2. ONE SIZE FITS ALL Fashion-lovers love Hunza G, with its signature crinkled seersucker stretch fabric. It became a household name after being worn by Julia Roberts in the film Pretty Woman. The retro silhouettes look best in modern acid brights. Pamela Crinkle swimsuit, €185, at Brown Thomas.

3. SPORTY TYPES Sustainable Irish brand Kahm’s Eire swimsuit, with long sleeves and ergonomic open back, is a favourite with sea swimmers. It’s designed by the Donegal-based sea-swimming sisters Áine and Sally Anne, who create elegant yet practical pieces using recycled nylon. Also good is Sweaty Betty’s Tidal Xtra Life long-sleeve swimsuit (€135; www.arnotts.ie) it is made from Lycra that is five times more durable than elastane.
