How to Find Your Personal Style: Modest Swimsuit Edition

Have you ever ordered a swimsuit, tried it on, and immediately thought nope, this just isn’t me. Well – you’re not alone! And it’s not because your body is the problem. It’s because you’re choosing swimsuits without knowing your personal style first. That’s why some pieces technically “fit”… but they still just don’t seem to feel right. So, instead of focusing on trends or what everyone else is wearing, this is about figuring out what actually works for you—and then choosing swimsuits that match that! That’s why before you even look at different styles, you should ask yourself how you want to feel. For example, do you want to feel secure and covered? Perhaps you would like to feel effortless and put together? Maybe your vibe is soft and feminine? Or maybe you prioritize being trendy but still comfortable? Your answer to these questions will matter more than anything else. The truth is that the right swimsuit is the one you don’t second guess once it’s on. With that being said, we have decided to make a specific guide here for 5 swimsuit style categories:

1. The first category we might suggest is if you are looking for something sporty and secure. If you think you might fit into this category, then you want to find a swimsuit where you don’t have to constantly adjust yourself. Think: support, coverage, and feeling “locked in”. You want to be able to move, walk, sit—without thinking about it. That is where this light green swimsuit  comes in. This swimsuit has that more structured, secure feel where everything stays in place. It’s the kind of swimsuit you put on and immediately feel comfortable in—not something you’re pulling at all day. Specifically, the fabric is so lightweight and soft, making it perfect for a hot day at the beach. The triangle bikini top is so cute, while the high waisted swimsuit bottoms are great for when you’re getting a dig on the sand volleyball court. This modest swimsuit is for you if you want to feel confident without worrying about anything shifting. The coverage to skin ratio is chef’s kiss. 

2. The second category we might suggest is if you want to feel classic and minimal. If your everyday style is simple and neutral, your swimwear should match. You probably fit into this category if you are drawn to: clean lines; black, white, and neutral tones; or pieces that don’t go out of style. If all of that sounds good to you, then this black one piece swimsuit is most definitely one you need to check out! It’s the swimsuit you can wear every summer and never get tired of. It instantly makes you look put together without trying (we are partial to the luxurious gold details on the adjustable straps).  If you don’t like overly trendy pieces, this is your go-to. An extra perk of this style and specific swimsuit is that it really is some bang for your buck because the neutral color and simple yet elegant style is timeless. 

3. The third category we suggest is if you think you might fit into the soft and feminine category. If you like a softer look—not overly bold or overly structured—this is your style. If you prefer: lighter tones or muted patterns; a more natural, effortless look; or something that feels pretty but still wearable, then this category is for you! And we hand-picked this retro bikini with specifically you in mind. The great thing about this modest swimsuit is that it doesn’t feel harsh or overly structured—it is just naturally flattering without being too much. The matching high waisted swimsuit bottoms are definitely a must if you want to feel feminine, but still comfortable. The modest bikini set is for you if you want to feel feminine, but still comfortable.

4. The fourth category we suggest is the trendy but still flattering category. You like staying current—but not at the expense of comfort. If you desire something stylish, but not overly revealing and you shop for something you’ll actually wear more than once, then consider this style. This best-selling lemon swimsuit is exactly that. Let’s admit that some bold patterns can look a little bit busy on some of us and can – simply put, sometimes not be very flattering. However, this lemon print is on trend, yet isn’t too bold that it will work against you. The great thing about this modest swimsuit is that it really is comfortable with soft, with darling tie straps to make a bow that adjust to your exact length. This modest swimsuit gives you that “updated” look without sacrificing coverage or fit. It allows you to have fun—but still feel like yourself.

5. Last but certainly not least, the fifth category that we came up with is modest and elevated. If you prefer more coverage but still want to look polished, this is your category. You’re not looking to show everything—you just want to feel: comfortable, covered, and still put together. This gingham one piece swimsuit is absolutely perfect if this sounds like it could be your style! That’s because the gingham pattern adds a little bit of a preppy feel, adding more than your average modest one piece swimsuit. This is for you if you want confidence and coverage.This swimsuit is designed to flatter while giving you that extra comfort. And the main thing is— it doesn’t look basic or outdated, but rather intentional. 

And there you have it: 5 categories to think about and determine what style best fits your wants, needs, and lifestyle. The truth of it, though, is that your comfort matters more than any trend. Most women buy swimsuits based on what’s popular—not what actually feels good on them. However, each women’s comfort level can vary: one women might only prefer to wear high-waisted swimsuit bottoms, another women might prefer more coverage around their thighs, while another woman is looking for more support on top. And these needs aren’t something to “fix”, but rather they are something to follow. Because honestly, if you’re constantly adjusting your swimsuit, it’s not the right one.

If any of this is overwhelming, well, don’t fear! Honestly, while many of us might prefer to have a number of swimsuits in rotation, you really only need one or two good quality swimsuits. You don’t need a huge collection. As long as you have one swimsuit you feel amazing in and maybe one backup, you’re all set! Once you have that, everything else becomes easier.

Don’t forget you can also add some swimsuit accessories to show off your personal style (we’re looking at you: sunglasses, tote bag, and cover-up)! And once you have those things, suddenly it feels like a full outfit. 

Another thing to keep in mind is to pay attention to what you already like.Your style is already there; you just might not have labeled it yet. Also, look at your habits and think about whether you always choose more coverage, or if you stick to neutrals, or if you prefer certain cuts. And voila - that is your answer! You don’t need to change your style. You just need to recognize it.

It is also important not to buy things for “later”. So, that means, don’t buy swimsuits for when you lose more weight or for when you feel more confident. Buy for who you are right now! Because confidence doesn’t come from waiting—it comes from finally wearing something that actually fits and flatters you. And even more importantly, it comes from within!

Lastly, finding your personal style in modest swimwear isn’t about trends. It’s about knowing how you want to feel and sticking with what actually works for your body. Once you do that, everything changes. And you finally have swimsuits that feel like you!

So, there you have it. Hopefully this guide for your personal style (modest swimsuit edition) was helpful. Feel free to check out some other modest swimsuit for women as well.
