In May of 2008 I blogged about HydroChic Modest Swimwear for women and I mentioned they were stylish, but really mainly discussed the UV protection qualities. Protecting your skin from sun damaging is certainly important, but today I want to talk about another aspect of HydroChic – their looks.

If you watched one of the recent 18 and Counting Duggar family episodes, when Joshua and Anna went on their honeymoon, and Anna wore modest swimwear that drew a lot of comments on blogs across the internet, then you have seen what a modest swimsuit looks like. While I’m not for sure if it was from the HydroChic line – it sure looked like one of theirs!

Whether you define modesty as ‘dresses only’, or just prefer to be covered in a longer bike shorts style, HydroChic has you covered – literally. Their swimwear fashions are top-notch and all with the UV protection I blogged about last year.

HydroChic swimwear looks like any other athletic wear. Sure, the modest skirt styles are unique, but still attractive and not ugly at all. They’ve done a very fine job, in my opinion, in combining function and fashion in their product line – without crossing the line and compromising modesty to do so.

I respect that, but more importantly, I would wear that! Seriously, I’ve seen some modest swimwear that, well… while certainly modest, would draw so much attention to myself that I felt would defeat the purpose of modesty in the first place. I believe HydroChic has accomplished something other modest swimwear companies have not – a true merging of function, fashion and modesty.

Check out HydroChic for yourself to see all their swimwear styles – they’re even having a big sale right now! ;)

I have never heard of them before now. I really like what I saw at their website! I have a modest suit from Land’s End and I paid a premium for it (though I love it). I see options here at lower prices. I’ll definitely keep them in mind for future purchases for me and my girls. Thanks, Traci!

I really like their suits too Wardeh. Honestly, they look sporty to me, not goofy at all. I want to be modest, not to stand out looking odd drawing more attention to myself. KWIM? I believe HydroChic swimwear accomplishes this quite well.

Their end of season sale looks to be pretty good! ;)

I liked the site too..almost ended up buying something off an Islamic website which was a little more than what I was looking for..like u said..u don’t want to stand out even more. They were very $$$..I don’t have a choice as we are headed to Dollywood in 2 weeks. I haven’t wore a bathing suit since I was in my 20’s..LOL

I wasn’t sure from your comment – did you buy a suit from HydroChic? These suits are modest, yet honestly – don’t look odd. They look sporty really. :)
