Peculiarities
The main feature of the knitted swimsuit model is that it looks romantic and creative. Depending on the threads used, this swimsuit may take a long time to dry. If the thread is completely natural, then there is a risk that during drying the model will lose its shape or shrink. This should be closely monitored.

Color solutions
Colors are available in solid and mixed colors, as well as basic, muted or bright. Also, one of the fashion trends is the combination of top and bottom, made in different colors. This is especially convenient if you want to visually correct the shape - then a darker shade is used for the part that needs to be reduced.

Selection Tips
When choosing a knitted swimsuit, you should consider your body type, fashion trends, as well as your breast size. If it is medium and slightly larger, then it is advisable that underwires are sewn into the bra for additional support. Of course, the chosen color should also suit you perfectly.
According to the type of figure, the following recommendations can be given:
- If you are the owner of curvaceous forms and you have a small tummy, then pay attention to the style of the tankini. Thanks to the T-shirt, it will help to disguise those places that you would not like to show.
- Monokini is not suitable for those who have a rectangular body type and the waist is not expressed. And for the "hourglass" or "pear" figure, this style will be an excellent choice, as it will emphasize the main advantage - your waist.
- Broad-shouldered girls and women should avoid the bandeau model, which will only add bulkiness to the top. Also, a bandeau swimsuit visually reduces the chest.
- Contrary to popular belief, the planage looks great if you have small or medium breasts. On more mouth-watering forms, this trendy cut can look too provocative.
