Buying a Bikini? Avoid These 5 Biggest Mistakes (2026 Guide)

The same mistakes are made again and again when buying a bikini. We show you what to watch out for so you find the perfect bikini – first time.

Mistake 1: Ordering the Wrong Size

Every brand has its own size guide. Always measure your bust and hip circumference before ordering. Our triangle bikini tops are available in cup sizes A to D – always check the product description.

Mistake 2: Only Buying for Colour

Colour is important – but cut and fit are crucial. Read our guide The Perfect Bikini Top for Your Figure before you buy.

Mistake 3: Choosing the Wrong Style for Your Body Type

Every body is different. Read What Bikini if You Have a Tummy? for specific tips.

• Apple figure → corrective swimsuits or high-waist bikinis
• Pear figure → halter tops or push-up bikinis
• Athletic → cheeky bottoms for more curves

Mistake 4: Ignoring Quality

Cheap bikinis quickly lose their shape and colour. Invest in premium quality from handmade designer bikinis – they last multiple seasons. Our brands PilyQ, Garotas and Milonga stand for longevity.

Mistake 5: Neglecting Care

A poorly cared for bikini quickly loses colour and elasticity. Always hand wash, always dry in shade, always rinse after swimming. Read more in our luxury bikini brands guide.

Bonus Tip: Use Mix & Match

Buy tops and bottoms separately for the perfect size combination. Discover our Mix & Match collection – top in S, bottoms in M? No problem!
