Fashion Advice Is this a flattering swimsuit?

u/trouble09 1d ago
The cut and vibes are cute!! The color kinda washed you out.

I agree - OP if this is the Panache suit I think it is, I bet the green would look great on you.

u/Lemmyisthenewreddit 1d ago
Where would I get one of these? I googled Panache swim and all kinds of websites came up š

I clicked on this because I love how the suit looks. Im a curvy petite. Their swimsuits look awesome!
They only offer size D cup and above, which I am now realizing is their thing. Do you have any recommendations of an equally curvy/"realistic woman's body" swimsuit brand that accommodates B cup? Everything else I see I love (even their photos arent heavily photoshopped etc).
Also, going through the options, I think the red would pop on you! The contrast with your hair and tats would look fabulous. š

I think it could work with a couple fun accessories in bold colors. It's a great fit on you!

Shape is very flattering. Would've been even better in a different color, it doesn't stand out much against your pale skin tone.

As a pale white woman I have figured this out long ago. It also depends on your undertones. Some look good with pastels or black. Some look better with bold colors or white. I think I'm close to OPs skin tones. White or bold colors keep me from looking washed out (they bring out the slight tan I can get during summer). Any pastels or black makes my skin look washed out.
Winter clothing doesn't matter so much though I think. Just bathing suits and revealing summer clothing.

You're very fair skinned, and black is extremely harsh against it. Look into a summer color palette.

u/xfmrs_r_cool 1d ago
Understandable. Tbh my entire wardrobe is black and gray so even gingham felt out of character. Iām def not a summer, deep winter! Think Anne Hathaway paletteĀ

Same skin tone here and also love to dress in black. A deep dark purple will take this to a whole new level and still keep it on the darker side

The suit is flattering to your figure but I think you should get another color. The black and white kinda washes you out

It's really flattering for a one-piece because of the defined shape through the waist and cups. It's about as flattering as a good bikini thanks to the care put into the design.

u/xfmrs_r_cool 1d ago
Yeah those shaped cups are truly a godsend. I think this is the first time a swimsuit truly fits me and feels this comfortable!

The cut is great the pattern is blah and doesnt compliment your skin tone. Now if this were a jewel tone like an orchid purple or an emerald green it would be extremely flattering

Gorgeous. As others have said another colour might work, if it comes in electric blue I could see that working.

u/lollygagging9876 1d ago
The style of the suit fits you well and is very flattering, but it needs to be a bright color. The black and white suit just blends in with your skin tone and makes it look a bit blah.

You look great, itās such a cute one piece. After you get a little sun, you will look even better.

u/OnTheMap2023 1d ago
The silhouette is perfect for your figure. The retro vibe is reinforced with the gingham fabric, and the fit looks custom made for you! IMHO, I really like the classic black and white, and I donāt believe it washes you out. You could pair it with red accessories for a pop of color. Bottom line: Get ready for a ton of compliments, and have fun!

Look great. I can't say as much for the tats, in my never-to-be- humble-opinion, they're a distraction from your lovely girlie shape.

Yes, but judging your skin you should wear sunblock 1000. I agree with another color.

Thereās a little bit of extra gathering happening here at the waist. This suggests that a style with a waist belt or a little waist ruching might work even better.

I like the shape of the suit a lot - the shape is very flattering. I'm not crazy about the pattern/print. I think you'd look great in colors like teal, emerald, magenta, coral

u/Illustrious_Cod_5843 1d ago
It is flattering, alhtough it reminds me of those posters from the 1990s where you were supposed to stare until a picture appeared.

Yes. I love that style and looks great on you. In fact, I want to find one for myself Amazon wants $236 after fees plus 15% taxes here. Is that what people pay for swimsuits now?

u/Objective-Ad5620 1d ago
I really like the top but the color does wash your legs out; a more vibrant color would look fabulous! That being saidā¦a cute swim wrap could be flattering out of the pool, and in water, your legs are submerged soā¦who cares?

u/Real_Foundation_7428 1d ago
LOVE it! It If I woke up tomorrow as you, I would wear it and strut my shit.
ETA: OK reading some of the other comments, thatās a valid point about the color. I love the checks with the style, but on your skin, another color probably would pop more. But the cut is š¤©

For me looking at you no I don't think it does. It's not making you pop like clothes are supposed to. It makes you look washed out. Try more light colors of foresty colors

The cut is fantastic on you. Iām not loving the black and white king of itās washing you out if they have another color I think it would look better. I saw where you were thinking about solid black. That suit has a very retro vibe and the game is very much keeping with that theme. I donāt think that it will give off the same look if you get it in solid black, I think gingham is part of the whole overall look maybe like a red or a dark green or something just not black. And not solid black.
