Just because our figures are, shall we say, a little fuller now, and maybe things aren’t where they used to be, doesn’t mean we don’t want a stylish swimsuit. Mature swimsuits are out there, but you have to know where to find them.
You also need to know what you want in a swimsuit, what assets you want to flatter, and those you wish to conceal or at least diminish. First things first: find a suit with the proper bust support because droopy breasts really aren’t attractive at any age. Many companies make bra-sized styles—adjustable straps, underwire or shelf-bras, and halters — and these are details to look for in mature swimsuits.
You also don’t want a too youthful suit, no matter how fit your body is. String bikinis are typically meant for the younger crowd; even then, we’re not sure we love them. Though some women keep great figures well into their 60s and beyond, even they look better in more modest two-pieces rather than full-out bikinis.
Many suits now have ruched midriffs that hide tummies and include hidden panels that tighten and flatten the stomach. These work almost as well as doing a hardcore ab routine every day, and we love them for it. You’ll also want to ensure the bottom is cut to lift a saggy bottom rather than flatten it. The good news is that mature swimsuits can be found in almost every store selling swimsuits, so finding an option that brings out your best feature – your confidence – should be an attainable task. Below are a few of our favorites.
