What should you pay attention to when buying swimsuits for women over 50?
Look for swimsuits that provide adequate coverage and support. Styles such as one-piece swimsuits or tankinis with built-in bras provide the desired support and help boost confidence. In addition, consider swimsuits with tummy control or ruffles for a flattering fit. Choose fabrics that are stretchy, durable and quick-drying. Pay attention to UV protective properties to protect the skin from the sun’s rays, which become increasingly important as we age.
