What Do You Know of Women's Modest Swimwear?

Many Muslim women fret at the idea of a swim-wear thanks to the so iconic imagery of an itsy-bitsy, teeny –weeny, two piece with flaunted washboards and svelte figure. For long, a beach-wear has resonated with the imagery of a ‘traditional two-piece’, sarong and thus making it difficult for women with hijab to take to water sports with limitations of a suitable modest swim-wear.

In the wake of rising polemics of body shaming, fat –shaming and rabid sexual objectification of women through various ads, fashion shows and clothes deemed suitable to fit only plastics and mannequins, Muslim and non-Muslim women have been actively instrumental to come up with a women’s modest swimwear which does not embarrass a women with curves by making her conscious but rather complements her body type giving her ample space to enjoy the waves, sun and sand. Designers have now come up with a modest range of swim-wear and beach-wear which dutifully covers a woman’s body and manages to balance the thin line of faith and fashion. Just as many scuba suits, these swim-wears are created in lycra to render flexibility for water-movements. Most are crafted with Italian Polyamide just as they do with scuba suits. This fabric not only takes to water easily but also manages to protect the skin from Sun-tan as well as harmful UV rays of the sun.

For some women who have highly sensitive or allergic skin tones, the fabric also helps to guard against the harmful exploitation of chemically treated chlorine in pool water. The fabric also dries faster and hence you could rest by the pool side and enjoy your cocktail after a good swim and catch up on some while siesta. Needless to say that these swim-wears come in iridescent colors to pick and choose with many rendered variations in eclectic colors. For example you can go for a full body suit which comes along with a head cap (could be your mini-hijab) or catch some three piece suits comprising of modest blouse which comes with button loops to tighten the top to the waist so it doesn’t float up while being inside water with long pants or a tunic styled top to cover the bottom adequately.
