Flattering Colours and the Meaning Behind Them
Flattering Women's Swimsuit Colours
“Colour! What a deep and mysterious language, the language of dreams.” - Paul Gauguin
Colour is a mystical expression of self and the world around us. Colour is significant for our recollection of moments, places and people of the past, and the emotions tied to those experiences. Our expression through colour evolves wondrously with time and self-growth. The experience of colour is universal and yet experienced so differently from person to person.
The psychology behind colour is deeply embedded in fashion and swimwear design. Every person has a strong connection to colour on both a surface, aesthetical level and then on a more symbolic, emotional level. At Nip Tuck Swim, we understand that the colours printed on our shapewear swimwear can make it your favourite summer staple with incredibly positive memories, or the neglected swimwear cast aside to the back of your wardrobe. As a women’s swimwear brand that proudly designs for women of all shapes and sizes, we sell a diverse range of colourful swimwear so that you can find the perfect one for you – the one that feels most like you.
Read below to find out more about the most flattering colours you can wear this season and the Nip Tuck Swim designs featuring such beautiful hues.
1. Blue - The Universal Colour
Blue is an extremely popular colour for its nuance of meaning. On a physical level, blue is the colour of the sky and various bodies of water, creating a primal amity with this colour as a symbol of life and sustenance. On a symbolic level, blue indicates calmness, knowledge, and openness. Wearing blue swimwear embodies all the above as you move in and around the water. The colour blue comes in a multitude of shades, so there is a blue swimsuit for everyone. A darker, muted shade of blue is slimming and complementary with both darker and lighter skin tones. A royal blue swimsuit is a wonderful statement piece that shows off your electric personality and summer tan after days spent on the beach. A sky-blue swimsuit softens the curves of your figure and makes your skin tone pop. Shop below to see blue shapewear swimwear available at Nip Tuck Swim.
Blue Painterly Paisley Monica Drawstring Design Tummy Control One Piece
Embrace blue swimwear with an artisanal twist in our charming Painterly Paisley Monica Drawstring Design Tummy Control One Piece.

Blue Pivotal Moment Connie Faux Knot Design Tummy Control Bikini Set Swimsuit
Feel yourself come alive as you slip into your Nip Tuck Swim Pivotal Moment Connie Faux Knot Design Tummy Control Bikini Set Swimsuit.

This vibrant shade of blue makes a statement all on its own, turning heads as you come out of the water after a glorious swim under the summer sun. Feel yourself glow in the Pivotal Moment blue swimsuit by Nip Tuck Swim.
2. Red – The Colour of Confidence
Red is a bold, empowering colour that connects to some of our deepest and most potent emotions – passion, love, desire and more. It is a colour that bares itself unapologetically and attracts attention for that very reason. Red is fearless. Red has been the mainstay for some of our culture’s most iconic moments – Julia Robert’s captivating red dress in Pretty Woman, Pamela Anderson’s iconic red scoop neck swimsuit on Bay Watch, Dorothy’s ruby red slippers in The Wizard of Oz and more. A potent colour regardless of whether it’s a maroon or scarlet red, this enduring colour is a statement for the ages. Nip Tuck Swim has several tummy control red swimsuits that you’ll definitely need in your summer wardrobe.

3. Pink – A Colour with Many Meanings
