Summary

I get a lot of questions about how to dress modestly when wearing a swimsuit, and I thought it would be a fun idea to do a modest swimsuit haul on my channel, and what better place to order than from Amazon? Because it is so easy to get their stuff in the mail, to order it, to get two-day shipping, and most of their stuff is pretty affordable, I was really excited to take a look at what they actually had and see if they were modest enough for me.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hello, Classic Crew, and welcome to today's video where we're going to be doing a modest swimsuit haul from Amazon.
00:00:09.880 I get a lot of questions on my channel about how to dress modestly when you're wearing a swimsuit,
00:00:16.420 and I thought it would be a fun idea to do a modest swimsuit haul on my channel,
00:00:21.380 and what better place to order than from Amazon?
00:00:24.060 Because it is so easy to get their stuff in the mail, to order it, get two-day shipping,
00:00:28.280 and most of their stuff is pretty affordable, and I was really excited to kind of take a look at what they actually had.
00:00:34.780 So basically what I did was I went onto Amazon, and I searched high-necked bathing suits, one-pieces,
00:00:40.720 and I searched rash guards, and I searched swimsuits with sleeves,
00:00:44.900 and I just kind of wanted to see what kind of results I would get.
00:00:48.420 And I actually did find a good number of swimsuits to try.
00:00:51.980 So I ordered them, and I got them here, and I tried them all on for you to tell you how well they were made,
00:00:57.360 if they were still cute, and how I liked them, if they were modest enough for me,
00:01:02.660 and tell you if I could recommend them to you.
00:01:04.680 So I tried on seven bathing suits for you guys today, and I'm really excited to share what I found,
00:01:09.640 because they are all modest, most of them are super well-made, and I think that they all are pretty affordable.
00:01:15.240 So I'm really excited to share them with you, and I hope you guys enjoyed today's video.
00:01:18.740 So let's get into it.
00:01:19.940 So the first swimsuit I tried on is this little pineapple number,
00:01:23.580 and the reason I chose it was because it has this really high neck.
00:01:27.020 I actually really love the bathing suits that have a zipper down the front.
00:01:30.780 I think they look really sporty, and if you don't want it to be completely up at the top,
00:01:34.980 you can take it down just a little bit, and you'll have a little bit more breathing room around the neck.
00:01:39.940 And I think that the print on this is super cute.
00:01:43.240 I also really like that the back is a racerback.
00:01:46.080 I don't think that that's really inappropriate,
00:01:47.560 and of course it does offer quite a bit of coverage in the butt area, which, hey, I love that.
00:01:53.940 So my only issue with this bathing suit was this seam along the front.
00:01:58.440 As you can see, it kind of dips down like this, and I didn't think it was that flattering.
00:02:03.280 My husband, on the other hand, he didn't think it looked bad.
00:02:06.060 He thought I looked really nice in this bathing suit,
00:02:07.820 so he didn't think that this made me look less attractive than I am.
00:02:11.480 I just didn't think it was that flattering, but that may have been my personal preference.
00:02:16.080 The pattern is so cute.
00:02:18.380 I love the black with the pineapples.
00:02:20.060 I think that's adorable, and I like that it looks so sporty,
00:02:23.460 and it really does provide just really modest coverage along the leg, along the front.
00:02:29.720 The only skin you're really showing is the racerback,
00:02:32.340 which I think is totally fine, and I actually think it's really cute.
00:02:36.380 So would I recommend this?
00:02:38.240 Yes.
00:02:39.100 I think the question is whether or not the seam is going to be flattering on you,
00:02:43.280 but the quality is great.
00:02:45.120 The zipper seems really strong, and I think this is a great bathing suit.
00:02:50.380 Next up, let's talk about this little purple number.
00:02:53.080 I think this is a super cool bathing suit, and it is so modest.
00:02:57.580 I can't get over it.
00:02:58.800 It has these adorable flutter sleeves, this ruching in the front,
00:03:02.980 this really covered up bottom.
00:03:04.660 The back is ruched as well, and it's just really adorable,
00:03:08.180 and it has this zipper along the front just like that other one you can see here,
00:03:12.000 and it allows you to get into it.
00:03:15.100 They all come with cups in the front that are removable,
00:03:18.460 which I think is super important because I don't like cups in my bathing suits.
00:03:22.120 I think they look kind of funny.
00:03:23.240 They're not really comfortable, and so I remove them.
00:03:25.860 But if you're somebody who wants cups, they are there.
00:03:28.560 The only issue with this bathing suit is that it did run a little large.
00:03:32.440 So in all of these bathing suits, I ordered a medium.
00:03:35.560 This was the only bathing suit that felt a little bit too big on me.
00:03:39.240 I think I might order it, though, in a small because I love the way this looks.
00:03:43.740 I love how feminine it is.
00:03:45.620 I love how covered up it is.
00:03:47.540 I love how unique it looks.
00:03:49.400 This is just a really cool bathing suit, not something that you would see every day.
00:03:53.700 And again, it feels well made.
00:03:55.460 It feels like it's not going to break down.
00:03:58.140 The zipper is great, and I really like this bathing suit.
00:04:02.360 I think this is a really nice one.
00:04:03.760 If you're looking for something that's more on the feminine side,
00:04:06.520 a little bit more girly, could go with like a little swim skirt perfectly
00:04:10.300 because of these flutter sleeves, this might fit the bill for you
00:04:12.960 because it is really cute, and it does all of that for you.
00:04:16.280 This seam underneath the bust is super flattering.
00:04:19.120 It almost looks like a dress.
00:04:20.440 It's just a dress that's been turned into a bathing suit,
00:04:22.580 which I think is pretty cool and different.
00:04:25.340 It's not something you see every day.
00:04:26.520 So as far as this bathing suit, I would definitely recommend it.
00:04:30.180 Just maybe figure out your sizing before you order it
00:04:33.500 because this was a little bit big on me.
00:04:35.980 I think I would size down to a small.
00:04:37.700 Next up, let's talk about this bathing suit.
00:04:40.560 I think this is such a cool print.
00:04:42.880 So I own another bathing suit that is similar to this,
00:04:45.440 but this one is way more flattering.
00:04:47.400 The cut on here is so flattering.
00:04:49.940 It hits you right at the smallest part of you where the print is,
00:04:52.540 and then the rest of it just is blue and plain.
00:04:55.060 It almost kind of gives the impression of a two-piece
00:04:57.620 because you've got this kind of seam here.
00:05:00.000 It's not really a seam, but the pattern stops here,
00:05:03.020 and then the bottom looks like a high-waisted bathing suit.
00:05:05.500 It's obviously incredibly modest.
00:05:07.600 It's got that zipper front.
00:05:08.760 It's got the really long sleeves,
00:05:10.420 and the back is covered up very, very nicely.
00:05:13.720 This is just a really flattering bathing suit.
00:05:16.720 Is it as well-made as the others?
00:05:19.240 Questionable.
00:05:19.680 I think it might be slightly thinner,
00:05:22.020 but I really like this bathing suit,
00:05:24.380 and I think it is so modest, so cute.
00:05:27.220 It really has some flair to it.
00:05:29.100 Of course, whenever you have this kind of raglan sleeve,
00:05:31.720 it makes your waist look smaller,
00:05:33.740 and so this works really well
00:05:35.380 when you want to wear something that is more flattering
00:05:37.620 but is also more covered up.
00:05:39.360 It's going to give you great sun protection
00:05:41.180 because you're covering your arms,
00:05:43.080 you're covering your shoulders,
00:05:44.080 and it just is really cute.
00:05:46.800 Apparently, I ordered this in a small.
00:05:50.180 Surprising.
00:05:50.780 I thought I ordered this in a medium,
00:05:51.940 but it does fit me,
00:05:53.080 so if you are looking for sizing questions,
00:05:56.020 I got this in a small.
00:05:57.160 Maybe if I'd gotten it in a medium,
00:05:58.840 I would feel a little bit less like it was stretching,
00:06:01.800 but I'm not totally sure.
00:06:03.180 So I do like this a lot.
00:06:05.260 I think the print is super pretty,
00:06:06.800 and I just really think that this is a good thing
00:06:09.460 to have in your collection,
00:06:10.760 especially if you're a sporty kind of person,
00:06:12.660 if you're going to be rafting or canoeing or something,
00:06:16.200 this is going to protect your shoulders,
00:06:17.460 and that's going to be the first thing
00:06:18.740 you get a sunburn on.
00:06:19.680 So this is really cute,
00:06:21.340 and I think that it's worth having in your collection.
00:06:23.780 All right, guys,
00:06:24.720 so now let's talk about this little bathing suit.
00:06:27.680 How cute is this?
00:06:28.840 I love the print.
00:06:30.220 I love that this looks like a high-waisted bathing suit,
00:06:32.860 and then you've got this really cute kind of short sleeve,
00:06:35.920 the blue and white.
00:06:37.320 I love it.
00:06:38.020 I love the pattern,
00:06:39.220 and I just think this is such a cute bathing suit,
00:06:41.740 and again, it is so flattering.
00:06:44.180 You've got a good amount of coverage on the bottom.
00:06:46.780 I just think this is adorable.
00:06:48.700 I do have one issue.
00:06:50.320 This bathing suit's zipper is a little bit more fragile
00:06:54.120 than the other zippers on those bathing suits.
00:06:56.540 This is like this zipper you might find on a dress
00:07:00.000 or like on a skirt.
00:07:01.860 It doesn't feel like it's waterproof
00:07:03.460 in the same way as those others.
00:07:05.160 It's not thick,
00:07:06.240 and so this makes me a little bit nervous.
00:07:09.000 Now, I don't know that it's not going to work in water.
00:07:11.640 I'm sure that they thought about that,
00:07:14.200 but this zipper really doesn't give me a ton of confidence,
00:07:17.860 but this is adorable,
00:07:20.700 and if this bathing suit could survive
00:07:23.480 with this zipper situation,
00:07:24.860 I would own like three of them.
00:07:27.180 They're so cute.
00:07:28.500 I just really like this seam here.
00:07:30.740 I really like the pattern.
00:07:32.420 I really like the colors,
00:07:34.160 the short sleeve,
00:07:35.340 the neckline.
00:07:35.640 I just think this is so cute.
00:07:38.300 So if this was just slightly better quality in the zipper,
00:07:43.200 I would be like 100% recommend,
00:07:45.140 but I'm going to let you guys decide
00:07:46.720 whether or not you want to purchase this
00:07:48.180 because it is really, really cute.
00:07:50.180 All of these bathing suits were not very expensive,
00:07:52.360 so it's not like you're pouring in $100 into a bathing suit,
00:07:55.580 but yeah, this is really cute.
00:07:57.440 Zipper is questionable.
00:07:58.800 Next up, let's talk about this bathing suit.
00:08:02.380 So cute.
00:08:03.800 I posted a picture of actually the other version
00:08:06.900 of this bathing suit,
00:08:07.740 so I ordered this bathing suit in two different colors
00:08:09.800 because I liked it so much,
00:08:11.160 and I really wanted it to work,
00:08:13.220 so it is adorable.
00:08:15.440 I posted a picture of it on Instagram,
00:08:17.520 and this to me is like the most bathing suit,
00:08:20.160 bathing suit of the lot.
00:08:21.820 This looks very much like a bathing suit.
00:08:23.420 It's just a more modest bathing suit.
00:08:24.980 It's not like a rash guard like those other ones are.
00:08:27.240 This is a really well-made suit.
00:08:30.940 It's well thought out, well put together.
00:08:33.300 As far as the back, if you look here,
00:08:35.340 it has the string attached so you can zip yourself,
00:08:37.740 which is great,
00:08:38.600 and it goes all the way down like this,
00:08:40.840 and then you can pull it all the way up by yourself,
00:08:43.300 no help needed,
00:08:44.220 and then it has even like a little flap here
00:08:46.720 for you to pull over the top,
00:08:48.720 which I just love.
00:08:49.880 It's so well thought out,
00:08:51.480 and I love the high neckline.
00:08:53.920 The bottom is pretty covered,
00:08:55.440 but I do have a few caveats as regards this bathing suit.
00:08:59.260 So I do think it would be better
00:09:01.360 for somebody who has a little bit of a smaller chest.
00:09:03.600 For me, I found that I didn't have enough space
00:09:06.260 around the front.
00:09:07.420 I can make it work,
00:09:08.860 and I will make it work because it's really cute,
00:09:11.140 but it does have a little bit less room here
00:09:15.960 than I would like personally.
00:09:17.600 So if you have a smaller chest,
00:09:19.420 this would probably be perfect for you.
00:09:21.180 If you have a little bit of a bigger chest,
00:09:22.820 it will still work,
00:09:23.920 but it just takes a little bit more finagling.
00:09:26.080 Another issue that I have
00:09:27.700 is that there's actually a kind of see-through section
00:09:30.440 on the side that has like lacing,
00:09:33.640 and I don't think that's super modest.
00:09:35.600 That's not my absolute favorite thing.
00:09:38.340 I don't know whether I'll wear shorts
00:09:40.560 or something over the top of this because of this,
00:09:43.520 or if I'll sew a piece in,
00:09:45.600 or if it's not that big of a deal,
00:09:48.220 but I don't think it's that modest,
00:09:50.540 and I can't say with full confidence
00:09:52.660 that I think this is just fine.
00:09:54.840 It does come up a little bit high,
00:09:56.860 and it can stretch a little bit
00:09:58.620 and show a little bit too much skin for me.
00:10:01.460 So I do want to figure out a way to keep this
00:10:04.320 because I do love this bathing suit.
00:10:06.140 I think it is super pretty, super cute,
00:10:09.160 but I would have to deal with this side area.
00:10:12.720 So I'm gonna think about some solutions,
00:10:15.460 but I do love the top here.
00:10:17.700 It is really flattering,
00:10:19.160 and it doesn't show off a lot of skin in the front.
00:10:21.620 So I guess they kind of felt like,
00:10:22.880 well, there's no skin here,
00:10:23.720 so we have to show skin here.
00:10:25.200 But I think that it is really well-made.
00:10:27.420 I would feel very confident wearing this at the beach.
00:10:30.560 Next up, we've got the same suit,
00:10:32.540 but in a different print.
00:10:33.600 I did want to order a couple, like I said,
00:10:35.420 because I just think that this is so adorable.
00:10:37.800 I think I like this print even better than the blue one.
00:10:40.220 It's very on trend, I feel like.
00:10:43.120 And again, it's really well-made.
00:10:45.120 It's got that same string that you can pull for yourself.
00:10:48.260 It's got the same flap along the top of the zipper,
00:10:50.720 and it does have those same cutouts on the side,
00:10:53.620 which I'm not a huge fan of,
00:10:54.980 but it does have that high neckline, which is great.
00:10:57.880 And this is just so cute, so well-made.
00:11:00.820 It really feels like a bathing suit, and it's sturdy.
00:11:03.940 It feels like it would last a long time,
00:11:06.380 especially if you took good care of it.
00:11:07.960 So I really highly recommend this suit.
00:11:12.060 We'll just all have to discuss in the comments
00:11:14.380 ideas for this side thing,
00:11:17.280 because I would like to hear your guys' thoughts about it.
00:11:19.680 I don't really know how to solve it,
00:11:21.600 maybe getting some fabric and putting it underneath.
00:11:23.700 I'd love to hear your guys' thoughts,
00:11:25.140 so leave that in the comments,
00:11:26.520 because I'm not totally sure exactly how to solve that.
00:11:29.180 But very cute, and for the most part,
00:11:32.340 the top area for sure, very modest.
00:11:35.480 Last but not least, I did want to offer
00:11:37.660 a two-piece option that could be more modest.
00:11:40.120 In the shots of me that I took,
00:11:42.420 I didn't show any skin,
00:11:43.740 because I'm not comfortable putting myself on YouTube
00:11:46.640 with a little bit of skin showing around my belly,
00:11:49.120 so I did try and keep it kind of
00:11:50.960 almost looking like a one-piece.
00:11:52.360 If I were to wear it at the beach,
00:11:53.600 they probably would show just a little bit of
00:11:55.400 kind of my torso, just a tiny, tiny sliver,
00:11:58.800 because this is super high-waisted.
00:12:00.580 So essentially, we've got this piece here.
00:12:02.760 So this is the top.
00:12:03.400 It's kind of like a cropped rash guard.
00:12:05.560 Very cute.
00:12:06.940 I like the fabric.
00:12:08.340 My issue is a little bit with the bust.
00:12:10.840 So you've got these sewn-in cups that you can't remove,
00:12:14.240 and it doesn't offer that much support.
00:12:17.360 So for my girls with a little bit of a smaller chest,
00:12:19.680 this might be perfect for you.
00:12:21.320 For me, it's a little bit less stable,
00:12:23.420 a little bit less comfortable,
00:12:24.520 but I do think it is very, very cute on.
00:12:28.000 And you can kind of make it work.
00:12:29.660 I think I could probably make it work,
00:12:31.380 but it's not my ideal version of this suit.
00:12:34.800 And then you've got the bottoms,
00:12:36.480 which are very high-waisted.
00:12:38.360 They're ruched, pretty good coverage in the back.
00:12:40.940 And so basically, all you'd be showing
00:12:42.340 is like a little bit of area around your ribs.
00:12:44.640 And if you're interested in having a two-piece,
00:12:47.040 I mean, this is kind of gonna be
00:12:48.120 the most modest version of one.
00:12:49.840 It's got sleeves, and it barely shows anything.
00:12:52.260 So I do like the combo.
00:12:54.220 It feels very vintage to me,
00:12:55.940 and I really like that.
00:12:57.020 I don't think this is the most high-quality.
00:12:59.640 This does feel a little bit cheaper,
00:13:01.680 but it is fun and cute,
00:13:03.540 and it does feel really cute and vintage
00:13:05.820 without feeling old-fashioned.
00:13:07.620 I think it's kind of fun,
00:13:08.720 and it does kind of give you that two-piece vibe.
00:13:11.500 So if you are looking for something
00:13:13.180 that is more of a rash guard,
00:13:14.560 but still has the kind of feeling of a two-piece,
00:13:17.620 this is what I would wear,
00:13:18.840 and I like the idea of it.
00:13:20.460 I guess I just don't feel like it's as well-made
00:13:22.200 as the other pieces that I'm showing,
00:13:23.560 but if you're looking for something that's inexpensive
00:13:25.760 and this kind of fits what you're interested in,
00:13:28.880 go for it.
00:13:29.660 And that's everything for my modest swimsuit haul
00:13:32.240 from Amazon.
00:13:33.260 I'd love to hear which of these was your favorite,
00:13:35.640 if one of these is something that you would order,
00:13:37.900 what you like to wear at the beach.
