Professional Swimwear & Leisure Swimwear

Professional Swimwear & Leisure Swimwear

It has been hundreds of years since swimwear developed, and men began to only wear swim shorts without tops at the beginning of the 20th century. After the First World War, women's tight one-piece swimsuits became popular in France, while other swimwear was gradually eliminated. Since 1935, women began to wear two-piece swimsuits. In 1947, bikinis became popular, which led swimwear to develop in a new direction.

From the functional point of view, swimwear can basically be divided into two classes, namely professional swimwear and leisure swimwear.
 
Professional competitive swimwear usually has a single color, and its style is mainly one-piece vest swimwear, which is simple and bright, and has no redundant decoration. In terms of colors, solid colors and color blocking are the most common types, and dark blue, black, white, etc., are more common in the market. The design of this swimsuit is mainly reflected in function and fabric. Its fabric is made from high-elastic lycra mixed with polyester so that this swimwear is tighter and more elastic than the ordinary one. In addition, the simplicity of the style can reduce the resistance during swimming and improve the swimming speed.

Leisure swimwear, also known as beach swimwear. It shows women's good figures. Besides, it is obviously influenced by fashionable dress in styles, colors and patterns. New colors and varieties are introduced every season and every year. When women wear two kinds of clothes, they are most likely to attract the attention of the opposite sex. One is an evening dress, the other is swimwear. Indeed, these two kinds of clothes can best reflect women's beauty—An evening dress sets off women's charm while swimwear makes women have fresh complexions and look healthy. Nowadays, popular swimwear can be roughly divided into the following three types: two-piece, one-piece and tubular one.
