It’s summer all-year-round in Singapore (with the exception of a few months of monsoon/rainy season), which means you can own a swimsuit and not worry about not using it enough.
The Covid-19 pandemic has kept most of us indoors, but if you’re going back to your routine of going for laps in the swimming pool and need a new swimsuit to motivate you, fret not, we’ve rounded up a couple of options you might like, regardless of whether you prefer a sexy, skin-revealing two-piece or a modest yet sophisticated one-piece silhouette. Here are 10 stylish swimsuits that are worth the investment.
Nothing says “look at me” more than fiery chilli red. For those who grew up watching Baywatch, channel your inner Pamela Anderson or Caroline Bleeth with this striking one-piece. Style this with a pair of bell-bottom jeans and a messy bun.
With its long-sleeved top and high-waisted bottoms, this set is perfect for those who want a middle ground between showing and concealing skin. Let this girly peach swimsuit shine with a black wide-brimmed hat. Also available in black.
Sporting a unique one-shoulder design with a sultry diagonal cut out, this H&M x Johanna Ortiz one-piece is super sexy yet tasteful. The nature-inspired print too, is perfect for tropical vacays. We reckon you could wear it out like a bodysuit paired with wide-legged trousers and strappy sandals.
Tie-dye is a fashion trend that has made its rounds and returned to vogue once again. You can break this set up and wear the bikini top under a loose knotted shirt and denim shorts and finish with a pair of espadrille wedges.
A statement piece need not be in loud, bold colours and prints. This black and white colourblocked Mango creation is an example of how going simple can be equally as stylish. Finish with a loose kimono and sliders.
Want to cheat a longer, leaner body by the pool? Go with vertical stripes as it tricks the eye. We recommend playing up the nautical vibes of the blue and white colourway by donning this to a yacht party. Throw on a white shirt when you want to cover up.
There are swimsuits created for those who walk the modest fashion route, or just want more sun protection and coverage when you go to the beach. Aalia Swimwear is a Singaporean label committed to stylish modest swimwear creations that you can support.
After-parties tend to happen after a day at the beach club. And if you’re looking for a “dressier” swimwear that can take you from night to this, this Oysho number is it. It has a shiny anthracite finish that glistens under the sun that complement your sun-kissed tan. Finish with a pair of hoop earrings and wedge sandals.
Square necklines are very on-trend right now. Combined with the soft pastel blue hue, this Topshop one-piece swimsuit is easy to slip into for any occasion that requires you to enjoy the sun. Wrap a sarong around your waist and slip into straw sandals to finish the feminine look.
Carry your love for logomania to the beach or the pool with this sporty Fila iteration. The red and navy combination is iconic for the label, but there are black and dusty pink colourways available too. Wear this outstanding set with an unbuttoned oversized white shirt and tie a knot around your waist to get that casual, chic look.
