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!
