How to create your swimwear collections

Do you want to launch a swimsuit line

To start creating your swimwear brand, the swimwear designer has to be very knowledgeable about the types of swimwear styles and the market needs, which styles are suitable for which markets, and which groups of people, so that your consumers can find swimwear that fits well. As a professional swimwear manufacturer for more than 10 years, we are full of experience to introduce different types of women's swimsuits to you, hope it can help you to create successful assortments.

Assortment for Swimsuit Tops:

Triangle bikini- The most revealing shape, available with or without underwire and normally in a removable cup inside. Ties or hooks at neck and back. It's arguably the classic silhouette that comes to mind when you hear the word bikini and is flattering on almost all body shapes.

Halter- Glamorous styling, total support, available in wireless push-up styles, ties, or hooks at the neck and back. This allows for greater breast support and often translates to more coverage, which makes the style a great option for hourglass and apple body shapes.

Bandeau-Slim design and strapless shape, bare the shoulders and back. Removable straps, this style is usually more comfortable for those who are less busty, including rectangle and pear body shapes.

Underwire- The same support as your favorite underwire full coverage or demi bra. Available with removable push-up padding or push-up without padding, adjustable shoulder straps, and back closure. This swimsuit style mimics traditional bras in silhouette, and many can even be purchased according to your cup size.

Tankini- The allure of a two-piece, the comfort of a one-piece. In regular or longer lengths. Available with or without underwire and push-up shaping. This style works brilliantly for those who want to conceal their stomach but prefer the flexibility of a two-piece.

Assortment for Swimsuit Bottoms:

Classic brief- Most simple style, combined with front and back pieces. It's a classic, universally flattering silhouette that pairs with almost any top.

Cheeky- Cheeky bikini bottoms are very similar to the hipster, only they reveal a bit more skin at the front and back. This effect can help elongate your legs, making them ideal for petite body shapes. It's also a great option if you want to show off your backside.

Side tie- Also known as a "string bikini," this style simply refers to the ties used to secure the suit. It's available in various degrees of coverage and allows the wearer to adjust tightness and size. This flexibility makes it perfect for all body shapes.

High waist- High-waisted swimsuit bottoms sit higher on the midsection than traditional bikini bottoms. Some go straight to or above the belly button, and some even go right below the chest. This style is suitable for all body types, especially hourglass and apple shapes, as it accentuates the smallest part of your waist.

High leg- High leg bikinis are so named because they sit at hip height. This slender leg shape is very long and suitable for people of all body types, especially for petite people.

Swim short-This short provides enough coverage on the back without any extra fabric. It’s a classic, universally flattering silhouette that goes with just about any top.

Skirt- This is a great option for those who want more coverage around their hips and thighs. This kind of style is popular in China and US.

Other assortments:

One-piece swimsuit- It is a straight swimsuit that covers the belly and back and has two straps. It is a good choice for all body types.

Rash Guard- Rashguard swimsuits are usually used for adventurous activities in water sports, such as boating, kayaking, or surfing.  Many of these are with long sleeves (though some are short or three-quarter sleeves), and they're a great way to protect your upper body from the sun. Normally fabric for such style requires to have UPF50+.

Cover-up A caftan beach cover-up is an ankle-length long- or short-sleeve flowy garment. This is a variant of the tunic, which is why you'll see a lot of retailers mark what looks like a tunic as a caftan. A caftan is a great option if you're looking for a long-sleeve ankle-length option that offers more coverage from the sun.
