Women's swimsuits: premium and elegant one-piece swimwear
The swimsuit has firmly re-established itself as a favourite for an elegant and confident look by the water. At MADELEINE, you'll find a carefully curated collection of premium women's swimsuits that combines sophisticated design with a reliable fit. Our collections are created for women who appreciate refined style as much as lasting comfort. Whether you're swimming lengths in the pool, relaxing on the beach or unwinding at a luxury spa, a well-fitting one-piece swimsuit helps you feel comfortable and confident wherever you go.
Thoughtfully designed fits – support tailored to you
A premium swimsuit is defined by a carefully considered cut that complements your figure. Whether you prefer a stretch bandeau, soft cups, moulded cups or underwired support, our collection offers the right level of comfort and support for every preference and activity. You'll also find a variety of strap styles. Elegant bandeau designs beautifully showcase the shoulders while helping to minimise tan lines, whereas halterneck styles and wider comfort straps provide excellent support and security, both in and out of the water.
The perfect fit for your shape
At MADELEINE, flattering silhouettes are always a priority. Our premium one-piece swimsuits are crafted from stretch fabrics that are resistant to chlorine and UV exposure, helping them retain both their shape and colour over time. Carefully positioned ruching, wrap-effect details and shaping linings gently enhance your figure. The result is a beautifully balanced silhouette that smooths and supports exactly where you want it to, without restricting movement.
From timeless to statement-making – designs for every taste
Our collection offers a style for every preference. As swimwear naturally attracts attention, colours, prints and carefully considered details all play an important role in helping you feel your best.
Warm skin tones: Earthy shades such as olive, brown, sand and coral beautifully complement warmer complexions. If you have warm, fair colouring, soft pastels, light apricot and cream are equally flattering.
Cool skin tones: Deep shades such as navy, black and jewel tones including emerald green and sapphire blue are particularly suited to cooler complexions. Muted colours such as dove blue, mint and lilac are equally elegant choices.
Figure-flattering prints: Delicate floral prints, classic paisley designs and graphic patterns subtly guide the eye, helping the waist appear more defined and creating a balanced silhouette.
Statement prints: Animal prints, bold oversized motifs and retro-inspired designs are perfect for women who enjoy making a fashionable statement.
Eye-catching details: Draped corset-inspired designs beautifully highlight the neckline, while elegant ruching, subtle embellishments and shaping linings create an especially refined finish.
Frequently asked questions about swimsuits (FAQ)
Which swimsuit is the most flattering?
The most flattering swimsuits help balance your proportions. Tummy control swimsuits smooth the midsection, while styles with underwires or push-up support lift and shape the bust. Diagonal panels, ruching, colour-blocking (optical slimming) and draped corset-inspired designs also help create a longer-looking torso and a beautifully balanced silhouette. Higher-cut legs can further elongate the appearance of the legs.
Which swimsuits are best for disguising the tummy?
Tummy control swimsuits with reinforced front panels and power mesh lining offer excellent smoothing around the waist. Styles featuring shaping fabrics, clever draping, wrap-effect details or delicate floral and paisley prints around the waist are also particularly flattering. It is the perfect choice for a relaxing weekend at a historic spa in Bath, a coastal getaway or your next sun-soaked holiday abroad.
What should women with a fuller bust look for when buying a swimsuit?
Women with a fuller bust should look for swimsuits with underwiring, wider adjustable comfort straps and a supportive underband. These features provide excellent support while maintaining comfort. Moderate V-necklines and square necklines flatter the bust beautifully, while stretch fabrics create a natural, comfortable fit.
Which swimsuit is best for a smaller bust?
Women with a smaller bust have plenty of styling options. Swimsuits with push-up padding, soft cups or moulded cups create a naturally enhanced neckline. Ruching, draped details, lighter shades, deep V-necks and elegant halterneck styles also flatter a smaller bust beautifully.
How tight should a swimsuit fit?
A swimsuit should fit firmly against the body when dry without feeling restrictive or uncomfortable. Because modern stretch fibres naturally relax slightly once wet, a close fit when trying it on is essential. If the fabric wrinkles across the back or under the arms, the swimsuit is likely to be too large.
How often should a swimsuit be washed?
To preserve its elasticity and shape, rinse your swimsuit thoroughly in clean, cold water after every wear to remove chlorine, salt, perspiration and sunscreen. After every three or four wears, wash it on a delicate cycle at a maximum of 30°C in a laundry bag using a gentle detergent (without fabric conditioner), or wash it by hand. Always check the care label before washing.
