What to Look for in a White Bathing Suit

Texture

"Texture is key in swimwear right now, which bodes well for those seeking out white," says Jennifer Pennington, a multi-channel swimwear buyer for Nordstrom. "Ribbed, pucker, crochet, and eyelet fabrics provide support while double linings and cups with padding will help a combat any see-through issues."

Material

Suzanne Bryant, vice president of women’s swim and resort wear at Tommy Bahama tells Brides, "Look for a high-quality fabric, lining, and construction," That includes things like a controlling power mesh liner to prevent see-through issues as well as smooth the stomach.

FAQ
  • How do I care for a white bathing suit?

    Always check the care label, but one of the best ways to clean a swimsuit is by handwashing it with a mild detergent or a swimsuit cleaner that’s designed to remove chlorine and sunscreen, shares Pennington. If you notice your white bathing suit has yellowed, add a few tablespoons of fabric-brightening baking soda to a sink filled with cool water. Rinse your bathing suit, then line dry. "Never put your swimsuit in the dryer or you’ll risk compromising the stretch and color," adds Bryant.


  • What’s the best way to accessorize a white bathing suit?

    The options are endless because white goes with just about anything—consider a dark pair of sunglasses, colorful sandals or wedges, metal jewelry, or a natural-toned straw bag or hat. "A white suit can easily transition from day to night," says Bryant. "For a classic look, I love a one-piece bandeau worn with a beautiful gold necklace and a pareo sarong or beach pant."
