How to shop smarter, feel supported, and love what you see in the mirror.
Let’s be honest, shopping for swimwear can feel daunting. Whether it’s a fit that’s off, straps that dig in, or bottoms that just won’t stay put, many women leave the change room feeling more frustrated than fabulous. Online shopping can feel even more challenging. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
At Capriosca Swimwear, we believe in helping women feel confident, supported, and stylish - at the beach, by the pool, or anywhere in between.
Our size inclusive swimwear brand is focused on stylish solutions that make the online shopping experience both enjoyable and successful. With all the information available at your fingertips, our accurate imagery, informative product descriptions, and helpful articles, guide you in the right direction to finding a swimsuit that fits, flatters, and makes you feel fabulous.
Returning to bad habits or choosing against your shape and needs can lead to a disappointing outcome. We're here to help you learn from the mistakes that everyone makes with expert advise from years in the swimwear industry. Let’s take a look at some of the most common swimwear mistakes and the simple swaps that can make all the difference.
There is a supportive, flattering, and perfectly fitting swimsuit waiting for you at Capriosca Swimwear
1. Mistake: Wearing Swimwear Without Proper Bust Support
Cute doesn’t always mean practical - especially for fuller busts. A lack of support can leave you constantly adjusting or feeling exposed.
What to wear instead: Look for swimwear designed with underwire, moulded cups, wide straps, and adjustable features to properly lift and shape. Styles like our Underwire One Pieces and Balconette Bikini Tops offer flattering support with structure that actually works for DD+ busts.

2. Mistake: Settling for Low-Rise Bottoms That Don’t Flatter
While low rise and hipster bikini bottoms are the perfect shape and preference for many women, they can dig in at the hips and they offer no support through your midsection. While they might have been your go-to style for years, your changing body might now need some extra support.
What to wear instead: Choose high waisted or ruched swim bottoms that sit comfortably at your natural waist and give you that smooth, sculpted silhouette. Our High Waist Bikini Pants and Tummy Control Briefs are bestsellers for a reason—they provide coverage and confidence in equal measure. Lined with Power Mesh, our high waisted bikini bottoms are the perfect tummy control solution.

3. Mistake: Choosing Thin or Unstructured Fabrics
If your swimwear loses shape or becomes see-through when wet, it's time for an upgrade.
What to wear instead: Invest in quality swim fabrics with lining, structure, and supportive stretch. Many of our pieces include power mesh panels or double-layered lining that smooth and shape without compromising comfort. If you're swimming in public pools or heated spas, look for a swimsuit that can withstand the damaging effects of pool chemicals from our chlorine resistant collection.

4. Mistake: Believing Supportive Swimwear Can’t Be Stylish
Functional doesn’t mean boring. Too often, supportive styles lack flair—but that’s changing.
What to wear instead: Embrace design-led swimwear that incorporates flattering cuts, elegant prints, and thoughtful details. Think halter necks, sweetheart bustlines, vintage prints, or bold tropicals. At Capriosca, we design with curves in mind—without compromising on style.
With 100s of styles to choose from, there's no reason not to feel supported and stylish
5. Mistake: Wearing Something You Don’t Feel Confident In
This is the big one. No matter how practical or pretty a swimsuit is, if it doesn’t make you feel good, it’s not the right one.
What to wear instead: Find swimwear that makes you feel empowered, not self-conscious. Whether that’s a sleek one piece, a playful bikini, or a flowy swim dress—it should feel like you. Our inclusive sizing, supportive designs, and stylish range ensure there’s something for every body and every mood.
When you feel good in your swimwear, it shows—and that’s the best style statement of all.
