Swimwear for women in their 20s

FUN | VERSATILE | SEXY

Your 20s can be all about embracing trends and having fun with different styles. Experimenting with fashion is one of the best ways to express yourself and show off your youthful vitality. Summer days are spent with friends having beach adventures, partying on a boat, or hosting a pool party at home. 

Your days are spontaneous, so you need to up for anything. Swimwear that doubles as clothing is ideal in your 20s. 

A cute bikini is always great to have on hand, as well as a one piece that can double as a bodysuit. Pair a fabulous bikini with a cute shorts and shirt set, wearing the shirt open to show off a sexy top. A strapless or one shoulder one piece looks amazing worn as a bodysuit. Simply pair it with a high waisted tailored short or fun, flippy skirt, and you'll look great whether you're at the beach or out having drinks with friends.

Swimwear for women in their 30s

PRACTICAL | SUPPORTIVE | CHIC

Your 30s can be a time of immense change. Many women become mothers in their 30s and with this comes body changes as well as a new lifestyle. A switch to chic styles that offer sun protection appeal to women who are more active with little ones in tow. 

Styles that stay put when wrangling little people are a must. You want to avoid fussing with straps or experiencing an unexpected wardrobe malfunction. Supportive styles for your changing body are ideal as you regain your confidence after pregnancy. 

Look for zip front styles with shaping and support around the bust and midsection. Prints are fabulous, especially with messy kids. Swim separates such as tankinis, rash vests, and board shorts are also great if you find yourself in active pursuits such as  kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding or snorkelling.

Hitting your forties is all about loving the skin you’re in. It’s a great time in life to enjoy the beauty of your body and the amazing journey you’ve taken as a mother, career woman or simply a health devotee who loves keeping fit with water sports.

You reclaim your confidence, sense of self, and sexiness in your 40s, as you get wise to the world and realise life is too short for societal expectations. Your body is yours and you know you only get one, so you learn to love it and celebrate it. 

A switch from practical to sexy influences your swimsuit choice. Showing a little skin with strapless, off the shoulder and plunging styles is what you're all about. You discover the chic sexiness of the classic one piece as it shows of your gorgeous curves.

VIBRANT | FUN | COMFORTABLE

You might want to revisit your wild side in your fifties, and why not?! This decade brings a sense of freedom and new discoveries. You realise that while you're getting older, there is still a long life ahead ready for you to embrace with confidence and enthusiasm. 

Experimenting with colour, prints and different styles is ideal in your 50s. Chances are you're coming out of a menopause haze, or you're in the middle of it. You'll do anything to make yourself feel better, including adding colour and vibrancy to your wardrobe. 

Our plus-size swimwear options are great for mixing it up, so you can add some fun flourishes with a gorgeous print or vibrant colour with modesty and comfort at the same time.

Swimwear for women over 60

TIMELESS | MODEST | FEMININE

While you might continue playing with new trends in your 60s, most women have settled into their signature style and know exactly what looks and feels good to them. Timeless, classic, and tailored aesthetics help highlight your best features as you mature, with elegance and sophistication. 

Coverage becomes a priority as we look for modest styles that offer protection from the elements. Swim dresses, longer swim pants, tankini tops, and rash vests, are all popular choices. Here at Capriosca Swimwear, we understand that women over 60 are still fashionable, so we design our swim separates with modern features in on-trend colours and prints.
