Article: Swimwear Which Flatters the Everyday Body

Comparison between a usual swimsuit, which digs into the hips and an ESAMY dig-free swimsuit

Swimwear Which Flatters the Everyday Body

Reading time: approx. 3 minutes

A beautiful swimsuit should complement the body — not interrupt its silhouette.

 

Why does swimwear rarely sit as good on a real body as it does on the highly posed Instagram influencer photos?

Many swimsuits are made with fixed sizing and firm edge tension that can create visible pressure around on the hip area and make you feel like the Michelin Man.

Moreover, if you are between sizes: tough luck, you will have to choose between being squeezed at the hips or having to hold on to your bottoms at every dive and every wave, so they don’t slip off of you.

Common reasons include:

  • Traditional visible seams on the edges
  • Rigid seam construction, made for a specific body shape and size
  • Design with no adjustability –This can visually break the silhouette instead of complementing natural curves. And it happens at any size, especially if you have weak connective tissue.

One might think that adjustable side ties are the solution but unfortunately it is not that simple. While adjustable side ties provide an opportunity for a better fit size-wise, they still cut in along the lines of those one or two ties that hold on to the hips.

Swimwear, made with the hidden seam technique does address the issue of the visible bulky seams, which create an obvious border between your bare skin and the skin covered by the swimsuit, but it lacks adjustability. It also often looks like seamless underwear, which might not be the look you want to go for at the beach.

Why are women choosing swimwear, which doesn’t cut in at the edges?

Women increasingly want swimwear that feels polished, refined and adaptable to real bodies.

A smoother silhouette can help create:

  • Cleaner visual lines
  • More balanced proportions
  • An elegant look

That is why searches for swimwear, which doesn’t dig into the hips continue to grow — especially among women looking for luxury swimwear designed with thoughtful construction and adjustability.

What swimwear doesn’t dig into the hips then?

Swimwear, which doesn’t dig into the hips is designed to sit smoothly on the body without squeezing at the edges.

A combination of carefully thought through design, adjustability and seam construction is what is required to make a swimsuit not only fit but also flatter the female shape.

This is achieved through:

  • Adjustability at the sides of the hips
  • Hidden seams
  • Seam construction which lays flat on the skin
  • Soft and stretchy materials, which also support the shape

These details help create a cleaner and more harmonious look from every angle.

The result is a smoother, more uninterrupted silhouette designed to move elegantly with the body.

There is indeed a brand, which has taken it upon itself to create swimwear, which doesn’t dig in and looks beautiful on the unique female bodies – ESAMY.

What makes ESAMY swimwear different?

ESAMY focuses on elegant, feminine design, which is carefully thought through and tested in different conditions – in the waves, by the pool, in the spa.

Every piece has the details, which allow it to flatter your shape:

  • Adjustable side ties with a special mesh-like construction, which spreads the pressure over the hip area over 4 edges instead of the usual 1 or 2

  • Hidden seams - to ensure a smooth transition between the skin which is covered by the swimsuit and the bare skin
  • Flat, wide elastic bands, which lay flat on the skin – in all of the ties and around every edge
  • Adjustable back and shoulder ties – even the models, which don’t have ties in the back have additional allowance around the back clasp
  • Flexible fits beyond standard sizing – all the points of adjustability allow for the swimsuits to adjust to your body beautifully, even if you are between sizes
  • Quality materials – carefully selected and tested, the Italian fabrics with ECONYL ® regenerated nylon, the matching color outer layer and inner lining, the thin, flexible, removable cups…

The goal is simple: to create swimwear, which doesn’t dig into the hips while maintaining a timeless, refined aesthetic.

Discover the ESAMY fit – the one, made to adjust to your unique shape and bring the best out of it.
