Choose a swimsuit
(1) spandex yarn content: the international standard spandex yarn content is about 18%. A good swimsuit should first have a spandex content of 18%.
(2) Elasticity: A good swimsuit should have tight tension. Of course, the greater the elasticity, the better, but the better the resilience. It would be nice to be able to return to its original state after repeated stretching. It is also necessary to feel good. You can compare the feel of professional swimsuits such as Widow and Yingfa with that of Hausa and Zock in shopping malls, and pay attention that the more expensive the swimsuit, the better.
(3) Brand: ARENA and SPEEDO, the two largest swimming brands in the world, have world-class swimming supplies with avant-garde styles and excellent performance (but I don't recommend these two brands here, mainly because the price is really high, so ordinary swimmers don't need such professional swimsuits, unless you are a full-fledged swimmer, it is difficult to buy them).
(4) Style and color: The style and color of swimsuit is also an essential choice for everyone, mainly depending on your personal preference.
Buy a swimsuit
Quality procurement
When buying a swimsuit, you can touch it by hand or refer to the composition list of the materials to see what the materials are like. A good swimsuit fabric is soft and elastic, the texture of the fabric is dense, the cutting is exquisite, and the sewing adopts elastic thread, which will not be broken because of sports. When trying on, fit and comfort are the principles. If it is too big, it is easy to soak in water, which will increase the burden on the body and the resistance when swimming. If it is too small, it is easy to cause ligature marks on the limbs and cause poor blood flow.
1, fabric and structure. It is best to choose elastic fabric with spandex content above 15%, so that the swimsuit can expand and contract freely with the body movement; When swimming in the swimming pool, we should pay attention to the adaptability of fabrics to the content of chlorine molecules in swimming pool water. At present, the swimsuit made of the most popular three-dimensional elastic fabric in the world is most suitable for low-temperature water or swimming. Because this fabric is hollow, it is easy to keep body temperature. Try to buy as little as possible or not to buy imitation so-called "imported spandex high elastic fabric". First, the spandex content of clothing fabrics is generally around 15%-20%, and second, the imitation fabrics have poor resilience after being pushed out due to composition variation.
2. Work and safety. Because swimsuit is a kind of practical sportswear with strong tension, it is best not to choose a style with more stitches. When the amount of exercise is large, it is easy to disassemble the thread from the splicing place. In sewing seams, three stitches and five stitches are basic, and three stitches and six stitches are the strongest. The elasticity of thread should be consistent with the elasticity of fabric. It's best to choose a pleated beach suit series, which is both beautiful and elastic.
3. In terms of hygiene, the surface layer of silk-covered cotton swimsuit has the advantage of smooth chemical fiber fabric, and the inner layer is made of pure cotton, which is non-irritating to the skin and is especially suitable for people with skin allergies. The crotch of swimsuit should be lined with cloth, and the lined swimsuit has a longer life. Wash and dry before use.
4. In terms of safety, when swimming in natural rivers, beaches and deep water, you should choose a swimsuit with a big color contrast with water. In case of danger, the target is obvious, which is convenient for first aid.
5. Body and skin color. If the chest is too big, it is suitable for V-neck swimsuits with wide shoulder straps; Try to avoid strapless swimsuits if the bust is small; Flat chest is suitable for swimsuits with decorative folds on the chest; If the hip circumference is too large, you may wish to choose a short swimsuit; For people with thick waistline and lack of moving curves, the assembled swimsuit can make up for the defects, and the effect is very good after wearing it; Legs are thick and short, so you need to choose a style with high legs and acute angles at the lower part; Slender legs lack symmetry, and boxer shorts swimsuits are the first choice.
Body shopping
Thin women should emphasize their body lines with bright colors and avoid wearing dark swimsuits. It is best to wear swimsuits with patterns all over the body, so that people's eyes will be attracted by those patterns and it is not easy to notice the flat figure. In terms of style, they should also avoid choosing strapless swimsuits.
Obese women don't look slim because they wear tight swimsuits. On the contrary, too tight will expose their physical shortcomings. Young obese women can choose colorful vertical striped swimsuits to show their bodybuilding and youthful vitality. Three points should be avoided, and it is more suitable to choose a "backless" swimsuit.
Girls' swimsuits in primary and secondary schools should be bright and eye-catching, showing that girls are fit and lively. Wear a swimsuit with horizontal lines or wrinkles for those with small breasts, and choose a swimsuit with a black frame pattern on the side of the leg for those with thick legs, which can make the legs feel slender.
You can choose a swimsuit with twill pattern or large print pattern for those with larger breasts, which can divert people's attention from the upper part of the chest and achieve the effect of covering it up. Because the abdomen is convex and the figure is pear-shaped, you can choose three-color swimsuits, and the colors on the waist are cross-matched, and the dark color under the waist can cover up the convex abdomen.
