Black Swimwear

What are the benefits of black swimwear? We are all drawn to a black swimsuit style, whether it be a printed collection or a texture this is often our go-to, just like the LBD (little black dress) 

Artesands Total Black Cossie Confidence.   

Slimming and Flattering

Darker shades like navy are known for their slimming effect, enhancing confidence and creating a sleek silhouette.  While black offers the optimal slimming effect, it also serves as the perfect backdrop to emphasize your natural curves without being overpowering. The combination of blacks slimming properties, timeless appeal, and adaptability ensures you feel confident and comfortable in your curve fit swimwear.

Aria Black Swimwear

Why Is a Textured Black Swimsuit Is a Game Changer for Curves? 

We all love the timeless appeal of a classic black swimsuit—it's chic, slimming, and always in style. But not all black swimwear is created equal. While flat black fabrics like traditional nylon/elastane blends or silky cottons may seem like the obvious go-to, they often don’t offer the most flattering results on curvier bodies. 

Flat black, or what we call “flat blacks,” can work against your shape. These smooth, shiny surfaces tend to reflect light evenly across the body, which can unintentionally accentuate every lump and bump, no matter how small. Instead of smoothing the silhouette, flat blacks can make curves appear more pronounced and less sculpted. 

Enter textured black swimwear—a subtle yet transformative upgrade. The addition of texture to the base fabric helps diffuse light rather than reflect it, creating a softening effect that enhances the body's natural shape. Not only does this provide a more flattering fit, but it also adds depth, interest, and a sense of elevated style to your swimwear look. 

This is exactly why our Aria fabrication has become one of our best-selling curve fit and plus size swimwear collection. The unique textured design doesn’t just look beautiful—it works with your curves to create a sculpted, confident silhouette that feels as good as it looks. 

 

If you haven’t yet experienced the Aria difference, now’s the time to try. It’s black swimwear—but better.
