1. Enhance your bust

If you're small on top, look for tops with a touch of padding, or an underwire, half cup style to enhance your bust.

2. Get some support

Large bust? If you'd love to wear something like a triangle top but need more support, then don't despair. Specialist brands are expert in interpreting current swimwear trends for larger cup sizes these days. As for one-piece swimsuits, look for something with some structure in the bust, such as soft foam cups or a shelf bra. Wide shoulder straps will also be much more comfortable than thin, spaghetti straps.

3. Look longer

If you would like to be taller, go for vertical stripes that can visually lengthen the body. Here's another trick: wear a solid color bikini bottom with a printed top. This will draw the eye upward and give you a longer look.

4. Help your hips

Pear shaped? It's all about the hip coverage. Look for a classic brief with good side coverage or even one of the latest skirted briefs - and don't be afraid to go up a size. A tie sided brief, meanwhile, is a surprisingly flattering option as you can adjust it for a perfect fit that eliminates any bulges. And a well-placed detail on your top half will draw the eye away from your hips.

5. Take control

Anxious about a bulge here or there? Look out for swimwear with some element of control – a high-waisted brief, for example, will do more for you than a low rise style.

6. Close the gap

If you feel you need more coverage but cannot bare wearing a one-piece, a tankini is always a good option, provided that the top and bottom meet without leaving a gap. When sitting down by the pool, you can always roll up the top for a good tan.

7. Try a bigger size

Are you tall? If in doubt, go up a dress size: if you're a tall size 12, for example, and you're looking for a one-piece, a size 14 might prove a more comfortable fit.

8. Choose separates

If you are one size on top and another down below, go for separates - some of our styles can be mixed and matched.

9. Move around

You wouldn't spend all day at the beach just standing still. When trying on swimwear, then, make sure you move around in it. It's also a good idea to see if it's still a good fit when you're lying down - that way, you can be confident that nothing will fall out when you finally hit the pool.

10. Care for your swimsuit

Once you've found your perfect swimsuit, make sure you look after it. Don't leave a wet swimsuit bunched up in the bottom of your beach bag - hand wash it as soon as possible in gentle detergent, rinse thoroughly, and drip dry.

AND, MOST IMPORTANT! IF YOU HAVE WHAT TO SHOW, DON’T EXITATE: WEAR A BRAZILIAN BIKINI AND BE THE ONE IN THE BEACH!

Activewear Fabrics

BfashionShop.com strives to make sure its clothing is produced to the highest quality using the best materials. It is imperative the clothing you wear when exercising is made from the right fabrics which are of substantial quality. The quality of fabrics used in the production of our clothing far exceeds the quality of fabrics used to produce the clothing found in the market. 

All our items are made from technical fabric specifically made for use in sport and during exercise.

A technical fabric is one that is designed to assist the body with the rigors of a strenuous workout.

The fabric provides the wearer with durability, breathability, wicking and comfort.

• Durability to fit the contours of the body and provide support where needed as well as withstanding the rigors of many hard workouts. 
• Breathability to let the temperature control system of the human body do its job properly.
• Wicking to keep the body dry. A technical fabric disperses sweat that the body produces so it evaporates and the material stays dry.
• Comfort so the workout is the only thing to concentrate on. No niggles, no rubbing.

The clothes in our 'Activewear' range are made from high grade materials such as 'Supplex' and 'Light Biotech'. These are perfect materials for most activities where the body sweats. The materials used in production are sourced from the best manufacturers so you have no need to worry about quality.   

Finer multiple filaments allow Supplex® to be very flexible, lightweight and 26%-36% lighter than cotton. Supplex® won't wrinkle or fade and is soft to touch.  It is also odor and wind resistant and has a drying time far superior to that of cotton. 

Other materials used in our clothing range are.....

Pet-Dry® is another material used to make some of out Activewear clothing. This is an extremely soft light weight fabric and has exceptional breathability and wicking qualities, besides outstanding comfort and beauty.

Superlight and Light Biotech®, is a very lightweight material which is silky to touch. It is an innovative mixed fabric of polyamide and elastane with the benefit of being bacteriostatic hindering the spread of bacteria that causes odor. The very latest fiber technology. It’s also an easy care product, and it gives a smooth comfortable sensation, when worn. 

Jump® is a polyamide and elastane mesh. It has the distinctive characteristic of a pierced texture giving it a netting effect. Other characteristics are easy care and softness to touch.

We use only SUPPLEX® with Lycra® fibers from Dupont ™ in our products!

All our fabrics are treated with SWetOut® a new and revolutionary technology concept to remove and transport sweat and moisture from the skin to the outer layer of the fabric.

Supplex® a  state-of-the-art nylon fabric.

Supplex® is specially engineered by DuPont to provide the soft, supple touch of cotton with the strength, durability and performance advantages of nylon.

	Finer multiple filaments make Supplex® flexible, lightweight and 26%–36% softer than standard nylon fabrics . Unlike cotton, it won't wrinkle, shrink or fade.
	Clothes in Supplex® stay new-looking longer. So your body wear, swimwear, jackets, pants and shorts will hold their great shape and vibrant color — as only nylon can — through sun, surf and repeated washings and dryings. And they'll never fuzz or pill.
	DuPont certified Supplex® is also as strong as it is soft—resisting abrasions, punctures and tears. It's also breathable and odor-, wind- and water-resistant. When Supplex® does get wet, it dries in a flash—drying faster than cotton by a whopping 56 minutes
	In blends with Lycra® brand elastane, Supplex® combines cottony-soft comfort with the gentle support, superb fit and great freedom of movement that only Lycra® can bring. It's a practical fusion of softness and stretch — with Lycra® stretching up to 500%, then springing back to its original shape. Look for the soft, hugging fit of Supplex® with Lycra® body wear, swimwear, activewear, aerobic wear, leggings and tights.

SWetOut® Moisture Control Technology

The new and revolutionary technology that uses the Exosmose concept to remove and transport sweat and moisture from the skin to the outer layer of the fabric.

How it works:

• The inner layer of the fabric absorbs the moisture in big “chunks” from the skin without holding it;
• The special treated fibers (water-repellent) in the middle layer conduct the sweat to the outer layer, that has finer multiple filaments created by a very special touch less brush that uses extremely high air pressure trough hundred of nozzles, the incoming moisture is then broke in smaller and smaller molecules;
• At the increased surface area of the microscopic fibers, the moisture that was absorbed from the inner layers is distributed all over the filaments converting the moisture in an almost vapor state and with the help of the body heat moving from the skin makes it very easy to evaporate!
  
  YOU WILL STAY DRY, COOL AND COMFORTABLE!
