In search of high end swimwear without awkward fit and low grade materials? It’s become increasingly difficult to navigate swimwear, especially when shopping online. (The photos just look so far from the actual fit).

The sagging bottoms, loose threads, unflattering fit – it’s almost impossible to find swimwear to suit elevated taste. Even when you shop luxury.

As with all core purchases, swimwear is an investment piece that should feel effortless and sexy, while suiting your personal style. 

I spent a weekend in Naples, FL from poolside to country club and never changed my swimming suit.  

Here’s what I loved most:

• The fabric has high elasticity – select designs brag a nearly universal fit of XS – XXL
• The fit is flattering and lifting – even with so much stretch, on my small frame the suit contoured my body and gave just the right amount of lift with zero sagging
• The designs are modern and aesthetic – the brand features a range of classic and modern silhouettes that cater to the new 90’s and 2000’s throwbacks while somehow remaining completely timeless. I want them all.
• The quality is visible – the pieces are well made, and there were no signs of fabric scuffing after sitting poolside on the cement
• They have some super cute covers and equally stretchy resort wear – I got a mesh two piece cover that I love for beachy y2k style. There are also a couple dresses with cutouts and rings that I’m dying to try.
• They’re a small brand – I love to support little known and start up brands. People living their dreams and making something that they are truly passionate about is where the magic is at

PARAMIDONNA swimsuit review

My swimsuit of choice was a staple black bikini. I wanted to find a high end staple that I’d be able to wear for seasons to come. For this, I selected the Irina bikini in black, retailing at €156 EUR. Quite affordable for a core collection piece in a minimalist wardrobe. 

Designed for a nearly universal fit of XS – XXL, I was initially concerned it may not be flattering on my small frame. Yet, the elasticity of the beautifully textured fabric left me impressed. It contoured my body and gave just the right amount of lift with zero sagging. It felt like it was made for me. 

PARAMIDONNA beachwear cover-ups review

I also sampled one of PARAMIDONNA’s mesh beachwear cover ups. I loved the Carla set that included a high neck crop and short sarong. A subtle floral print in toffee neutrals gives the set a distinctly 90’s – 2000’s vibe that I can’t get enough of in this season’s summer fashion trends.

It was lightweight, and takes up almost no space – making it the perfect beach bag layers to toss on over your suit when heading to the tiki bar for drink refills. It’s also quite cute enough to wear the top with an assortment of summer outfits.

If you’ve been on the hunt for more elevated swimwear, PARAMIDONNA is definitely worth the try. Here are a few more favorites on my wishlist, or you can browse their new arrivals online.
