Feeling like your body doesn’t fit the norm is something most people feel. But hey, we’re all different. That’s what makes us special. If you have a petite bust, you wish it was bigger. But on the other hand, if you had a big bust, you’d likely wish it were smaller. It's helpful to accept what we were given and learn to love our bodies no matter what. You can choose to either celebrate the aesthetic of a petite bust or choose to add volume. Whichever you pick, we’ve got some great suggestions to help you. If you want to highlight your petite bust To celebrate the minimal aesthetic of a small chest, pick swimsuits with minimal or no padding. Bathing suits with removable pads are a great choice too. As well, swimsuits without structure such as basic triangle top or simple bralette style are good for showcasing a small bust. Brands such as Frankies Bikinis, PQ Swim, Beach Riot, Agua Bendita, Beach Bunny, Mapale, Peixoto, and Seafolly have amazing options to suit your needs. Here are our top 3: If you choose to add volume to a small chest 1. A banded bottom or extra fabric along the under bust adds volume and visual interest creating the appearance of a fuller bust. An added benefit is that it can minimize the look of a long torso. 2. Padded or push up styles simulate a good push up bra and many come with removable pads if you prefer a less pushed up look occasionally. 3. Structure such as underwire and moulded cups work to give the chest shape and provide some lift and volume for a small chest. 4. Ruffles or additional fabric around the chest like a fringe increase the volume to create the illusion of a bigger bust. 5. Patterned fabric and details such as beadwork, lace or other embellishments along the bust can also help to make the chest appear more voluminous. 6. A swimsuit with a high neck can also be used to disguise the look of a small chest. 7. Black can make a body part recede. So when dressing for a petite bust, consider using colors other than black around the chest. Mix and match a colourful top with black bottoms. This makes the chest appear more prominent than the bottom half of your body 2. Combine some of the styles above for a knockout combination. For example, structured cups with ruffle shoulder and a bold print is a great combo for a small chest. Follow these style tips to get the most out of a swimsuit for a small chest. Above all else, choose a style that you'll feel confident and beautiful in.

Have you ever wondered if there is a difference between a designer and fast-fashion swimwear? They might look the same, but they never are. With time, designer swimwear is able to hold up and resist fading or losing its shape as you wash it. However, you can say the opposite for fast fashion pieces. Fast fashion clothing comes with harmful chemicals that can cause serious health problems. Not instantly, but over time with continued exposure. Below we outline 5 reasons why designer swimsuits are more sustainable for you: 1. Quality: Designer swimsuits are made of top-quality material, and will therefore last you many seasons. This means you won’t constantly be throwing away and replacing last year’s swimsuit. In fact, you’re more likely to get tired of wearing the swimsuit than have it wear out on you. This is why it's important to invest your money into quality pieces that will last you a lifetime. 2. Timeless Design: While designer swimwear follows seasonal trends, they are always created with timeless elements. This guarantees it never goes out of style and you can wear it year after year if you choose to. For example, a black swimsuit has and always will be a classic. It gives you a slimming effect and has been around for decades. Adding elements to it such as a wrap detail or cheeky bottoms make it a timeless design with current trend elements. 3. Versatility: Designer swimsuits are very well made. They include features such as thick lining, minute detailing, and strong hems and thread. This makes them more versatile than an average swimsuit. You get more use out of them such as wearing them as a body suit or summer crop top. Since they are not see-through when stretched and made with durable fabric, it makes it hard to tell that it’s actually a swimsuit. 4. Holds Value: Unlike other swimsuits, you won't need to throw them away after one season. They remain intact and look as good as the day you first bought them. Ensuring that you look after and follow the care instructions will help with this too. 5. Sustainable Businesses: Many designers use sustainable recycled fabrics. Others use sustainable practices such as artisan-made or environmentally friendly. Designers come up with innovative materials; from recycled bottles to discarded waste. Sustainable businesses also ensure that they are leaving a small carbon footprint. Some examples are being mindful of their emissions and not using a large amount of water in manufacturing. Shop Ethical Swimsuits In conclusion, for the reasons mentioned here, and many others, we at Sun Vixen Swimwear believe that designer swimwear is a far more sustainable choice than fast fashion swimsuits. It's made from some of the softest materials and the benefits amplify why we need sustainable swimwear brands. Choosing to buy designer swimwear is a choice our planet will benefit from over the long run. Not only will you look great in a designer swimsuit, you'll feel amazing too.
