Here's how to find your dream swimsuit and make every occasion unforgettable. Whether you’re lounging by the pool or hitting the waves, we will help you elevate your swimwear game this season!

Determine Your Ideal Fit

The foundation of any great swimsuit is the fit. Knowing your body type and comfort level can make all the difference. Below are the following body types and what we believe looks best on each shape:

  • Hourglass Shape: Highlight your curves with high-waisted bottoms or triangle tops. Plunging one-pieces are also a stunning choice.
  • Athletic Build: Add curves with ruffled tops, cutouts, or bold patterns.
  • Pear Shape: Balance proportions with a patterned top and solid bottoms, or try a high-leg cut for elongation.
  • Apple Shape: Opt for ruching, belted one-pieces, or tankinis to enhance your waistline.

Choose a Style That Reflects You

Swimwear should feel like an extension of your personality. Here are some popular styles for every vibe:

  • Minimalist Chic: Solid colors like olive, black, or white never go out of style. Opt for sleek, clean lines for a timeless look. L*Space is renowned for its extensive collection of sophisticated neutral-toned swimwear. 
  • Boho Babe: Go for floral patterns, macramé detailing, and earthy tones for a laid-back vibe.
  • Bold & Confident: Embrace neon colors, animal prints, or high-cut styles for a head-turning statement.
  • Retro Glam: High-waisted bottoms, underwire tops, and polka dots capture vintage charm effortlessly.

Keep Up with the Latest Trends

Stay ahead of the curve with these hot swimwear trends that everyone is talking about. 

  • Sustainable Swimwear: Eco-friendly fabrics are making waves, blending style with sustainability.
  • Textured Fabrics: Ribbed, crinkled, and crochet styles add depth and dimension to your look.
  • Asymmetry: One-shoulder designs and unique cutouts are all the rage.
  • Bright & Bold: Vibrant hues like fuchsia, electric blue, and tropical prints bring an energetic feel to your swimwear collection.
