There are many ways to go swimming and still be modest. You can cover up your body in several ways, whether you’re wearing a bathing suit or not.
Hair scarf
A hair scarf is a scarf that can be worn as a headband, it is an excellent complement to a burkini swimwear as well, and it’s an essential item for the beach or pool. It holds your hair away from your face. When you get out of the water, it can be used to cover up hair that got wet in the water, so you don’t have to make any adjustments before getting dressed again.
Updo/ponytail
To keep your hair out of the water, tie it up in a bun or ponytail. If you don’t want to go swimming but still want to wear a swimsuit, try one that covers your chest and arms.
Wear a shirt over your bathing suit
- Wear a shirt over your bathing suit. A t-shirt or tank top is perfect for this trick, but if you have an old shirt that’s too small and, therefore, won’t fit over your swimsuit, it can also be worn underneath the swimsuit. This generally makes skin-bearing less conspicuous because it hides the body’s outline.
- Burkini swimwear is also a good option if you’re uncomfortable wearing just any old thing over your bathing suit. They’re designed to cover up as much skin as possible while remaining relatively stylish and comfortable. They are especially useful for ladies who are required to dress modestly for religious or cultural reasons. These are available in various sizes and designed to suit all body shapes.
Make your swim shirt.
You can make your swim shirt. You can wear a plain t-shirt, or buy a swim shirt from a store. You could also sew your swim shirt if you have access to sewing materials. If you want sleeves and a collar, cut them out of fabric (or buy purchased sleeves) and sew them on. If you can sew in zippers or ties at the bottom of your shirts, this would be ideal for keeping them securely closed.
The most important thing when making your swim shirt is ensuring that it fits nicely into all areas that need coverage and support so as not to expose any skin in the water.
Wear water-resistant gloves
Water-resistant gloves are an excellent way to cover your hands.
- Water-resistant gloves can be purchased at a sports store online or at your local retailer.
- Water-resistant gloves made from old towels are cheap and easy to make. You have to just cut out the glove’s shape from one side of a towel, then cut holes for fingers on either side of it (or poke holes with scissors). These should work well if you’re planning on being in water that’s not too chilly.
There are many ways to go swimming and still stay modest.
If you’re not a fan of revealing skin, there are many ways to swim and stay modest. Cover up with a shirt, a swim shirt or even burkini swimwear. Wear water-resistant gloves to take pictures in the pool without fear of getting your hands wet and dirty. Or try an updo or ponytail for something different that’s still cute on the beach.
