]]> Let’s be real: swimsuit shopping for curvier bodies and fuller busts can be more stress than sunshine. But this summer? That narrative ends here. It’s time to reclaim the poolside runway with looks that hug, lift, support, and slay. Whether you’re lounging on a yacht, catching rays at the beach, or flexing at the pool party, we’ve rounded up the best swimwear brands and styles that don’t just fit — they flatter. Welcome to Hot Girl Summer, Curvy Edition.

1. Underwire = Your Bestie Brands to Try: Monday Swimwear and Panache Swim
For bigger busts, support is everything — but we’re not settling for boring. These brands combine underwire structure with luxe designs, bold colors, and cup-specific sizing. Think balconette bikinis, plunge one-pieces, and retro vibes with actual engineering behind them.

2. High-Waisted & High Impact Brands to Try: Good American, Aerie, Swimsuits For All
A good high-waisted bottom smooths and cinches in all the right places. Pair it with a scoop neck top or longline bikini and you’ve got a timeless silhouette that flatters curves and gives vintage bombshell energy.

3. Plunge, Please Brands to Try: Andie Swim, ASOS Fuller Bust, Matte Collection and Understatement
Don’t be afraid of the plunge. Deep V styles can be super flattering for fuller busts — just make sure you’re getting thick straps, a wide band, or power mesh for extra support. These suits are made for confident exits and IG-worthy entrances.

4. Cut It Out (In a Good Way) Brands to Try: GabiFresh x Swimsuits For All, Cuup, H&M+
Strategic cut-outs can accentuate your waist, highlight curves, and give major main character energy. Look for asymmetrical designs, tie-front tops, or suits with side cut-outs that sculpt without digging in.

5. One-Piece, One Word: WOW Brands to Try: Summersalt, Figleaves, Chromat
The one-piece has officially evolved. With bold prints, waist belts, deep necklines and color-blocking that contours the body, these aren’t your mum’s swimsuits. Bonus: many double as bodysuits post-beach.

Final Thoughts: You deserve swimwear that lifts more than just your boobs — it should lift your whole mood. This Hot Girl Summer, step into the sun knowing you’re held, hugged, and hyped in styles that are made for you. Because confidence is the best thing you can wear — but the right bikini? That’s a close second.

At Voir Magazine, we celebrate all women—no matter their size, shape, or budget. Inclusivity is at the core of what we do. As the fashion industry continues to evolve, we’re excited to see more brands embracing inclusive size ranges!

Coats are an essential part of any wardrobe, and this season we’re highlighting the best coat trends for women with curves that blend comfort, elegance, and the perfect fit. It’s not always straightforward to find a coat that compliments your curves!

Because the coat isn’t just about warmth it’s about finding a statement piece that can elevate your entire look; let’s explore the must-have pieces for Autumn/Winter 2024.

1. Le Trench: The Timeless Classic

The trench coat is a staple that transcends seasons and trends. Its structured silhouette highlights the waist, making it a flattering choice for curvy women. Whether you choose classic beige or a deep taupe, this piece is an eternal favourite.

Parris Goebel, the choreographer and fashion icon, has been spotted rocking a KidSuper trench with effortless grace, proving that a well-fitted trench is a go-to for confident, stylish women.

How to style
• Casual chic: Pair a long trench with loose jeans and loafers. Size up for an oversized,

modern vibe that’s perfect for a weekend in the city.

2. The Brownie Jacket: Petite Yet Bold

Everyone needs a versatile jacket that can transition effortlessly from day to night. Inspired (again) by Parris Goebel’s Luar jacket, the structured brown jacket is perfect for curvy women, offering the right balance between casual and chic.

How to style

• Feminine core: A simple yet refined look. Pair a brown jacket with a sheer wrap skirt, gold jewellery, and burgundy heels (the perfect colour combo). Add a crisp white bag to look like a vibrant lift.

3. Peignoir Coat: Cozy, Yet Stylish

For those who crave comfort without compromising style, the peignoir coat—a loungewear-inspired piece—hits the sweet spot.

Seen on Ashley Graham and Rihanna, this robe-inspired coat delivers both cosiness and style, proving that you don’t have to sacrifice one for the other.

How to style

• Cosy Fashionista: A soft peignoir version coat from COS paired with Mango’s tailored plus-size ensemble, gives off work-chic vibes. Add a pop of color with blue ASICS US5-S GEL-QuantumTM Kinetic sneakers and accessorize with layered necklaces for the ultimate fall look.

4. Navy Core Jacket: Oversized and Bold
This season’s Navy core jacket brings structure and an effortlessly cool vibe. It’s oversized

silhouette is perfect for layering, making it a versatile addition to any fall wardrobe.

How to style

– Ganni-Inspired Look: Team a navy core jacket with a denim skirt, a simple white tee, and a pair of high-statement boots. Elevate the look with fun, patterned tights for a touch of playful fall vibes.

5. The Denim Piece: Casual and Cool

The denim-on-denim trend continues to reign, and this fall, it’s perfect for embracing your curves. Yseult, the French singer, slayed the denim game with her Acne Studios ensemble, proving that denim is made for all bodies.

How to style
• Denim Power: Recreate Yseult’s look by pairing denim jeans with a denim jacket.

Add a touch of modern flair by layering with a short boxer under the jeans and finishing the look with a pair of red ballet flats and a burgundy bag.

Statement Pieces from the Best Plus-Size Brands

When shopping for curvy-friendly coats, these brands consistently deliver both style and fit:

– ASOS Curve
– Mango Curve – Karoline Vitto – River Island
– Kid Super
– Jacquemus
– Ganni
– New Look
– Savage x Fenty – Public Desire
– Lazy Oaf

This fall, curvy women no longer have to choose between style and comfort. With the right coat or jacket, you can step into the season feeling confident, chic, and ready to take on the world. Whether it’s the timeless elegance of a trench, the cosiness of a peignoir, or the boldness of a navy jacket, these outerwear pieces are designed to celebrate your curves and embrace the latest trends.

The battle for mannequin diversity has become a hot topic of discussion over the last month, and Fenty has joined the battle.

As the plus-size Nike mannequin was unveiled in their London flagship store two weeks ago causing a major stir online, with Tanya Gold from The Telegraph arguing that plus-sized women should guess their body shape on clothing instead (??) – our attention is now laser-focused on how our clothes are being presented to us.

Despite negative comments from journalists, for most the Nike mannequin was a welcomed sight to customers who are and have often felt alienated by brands ‘ideal size’ for their clothes. After all this was in dire need, Topshop in 2017 received a whole facet of complaints after a mother of a 15-year-old girl (a large, impressionable demographic of Topshop’s consumers) tweeted the emaciated size of their storefront mannequins which made nationwide news.

Toyshop’s mannequin in 2017 vs. the plus-size Nike mannequin unveiled this year.

And in 2007, a law was enacted in Spain forbidding the use of mannequins smaller than a size 6, as on average female mannequins in Europe wear a 4-6 dress size, a substantial deviation from the UK dress-size average of a 14-16.

So when Rihanna revealed her own non-standard size mannequins last week for her Fenty pop-up in New York, Twitter and Instagram understandably went mad.

Mannequins at Fenty

The release of her eponymous brand Fenty, part of LVMH, was already widely anticipated, as her previous releases and designer collaborations have always received sincere support and admiration. Her work for Puma sold out after every release, and her lingerie brand and beauty brand, all under her now billion-dollar worth Fenty trademark, have become renowned across the board for breaking fashion and beauty traditions.

Rihanna has made it her imperative in the industry to dare to be different, showing the sex appeal and beauty of women who are pregnant, dark skinned, albino, short, tall, and plus-size. Fundamentally, Fenty (beauty, lingerie and fashion house) have been made with every woman in mind.

“You can have all the clothes in the world, but what does my body want to wear today?” – Rihanna

Integrated between ‘regular-sized’ mannequins was a fundamental a celebration of normal feminine bodily curves. Rounded bellies, hip-dips, non-surgically flat stomachs, wider abdomens, larger breasts and behinds – shapes you expect to see on your friends, family and women all over, yet not on those selling you clothes.

Curvy mannequins at Fenty

When speaking to Vogue for Fenty’s initial release last month, Rihanna explained that her collection was made because – “I ain’t no sample size no more girl”, and let’s face it, for most of us, neither are we. The fluctuations in her weight were the main inspiration for the shapes of the designs; it would make sense that the mannequins showed it worked for her body type, alongside others.

As Jameela Jamil told Paper Magazine:

“If you can’t design things that look good on people who are bigger than just a 0 or 2, you aren’t talented.”
