I’ve seriously never felt more comfortable in a swimsuit, both for just lounging around and for getting far too into beach volleyball and/or chasing my niece and nephew around the sand. I know no matter what I’m not going to fall out or get a wedgie or generally feel the need to adjust, tug or pull throughout the day.” If you need to take your look from the pool to dinner, toss on a pair of jeans and some chunky heels, and you’ve got a super simple look with a touch of elegance. We use the word flattering a lot, but what does it mean?"—a wonderful story written by one of my fellow editors on why it's about time to start redefining this now exhausted and misused term. The reason? Up until now, we have been using this word in reference to manipulating what you wear to hide areas of your body you might not be proud of.

A Deep Dive: CompletedWhat they wore is another story. Men tended to wear brief shorts if they wore anything at all. Women enjoyed the water in groups completely separate from men. They wore then-fashionable coverings generally from nose to toes. Only in Roman times did women, and men for that matter, enjoy bathing in bathhouses in the nude.

Multiple PureWow editors recommended this sustainably-focused swimwear brand that’s also loved by celebs like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Hailey Bieber and Kim Kardashian. And while we’re always skeptical of brands that sell just one size, PureWow-ers with a range of body types all raved about Hunza G’s signature stretchy material. Emily Kerr, SVP of growth, says, “I was so surprised at how flattering and supportive the swimsuit was while also being mega comfy. A bunch of my friends had recommended it, and I was doubtful as a lot of my friends who recommended it are teeny, and I have a chonky arse and big, droopy boobs, but it lives up to the hype!” In modern times, swimming was separate from bathing.

(At 5 foot 2 inches, I'm typically a 2 in swimwear.) But this little red number surprised me. Not only did its miraculous contouring make it fit like a glove—no pulling or tugging at a landing strip of a crotch or gaping open in spots it shouldn't (something that's incredibly important when you're aiming for comfort)—the one-shoulder chain-link style gives it a bit of oomph that's actually kind of sexy."
