What to wear when you are invited to a corporate gathering off sight or a business conference at the resort? I was once in this situation when we had a business event for top profile clients in Singapore and we were entertaining them on a boat. I knew I had to wear some kind of beachwear and a swimming suit because swimming was on the agenda.
I prepared by searching top swimming wear brands and found that only very few provide appropriate attire for business events like mine. As you probably guess, its best to wear one piece bathing suit rather then a two piece bikini. At the end of the day, its about business and you don’t want to attract unnecessary attention, it would not be good for your reputation as a business lady. Swimwear can not be too revealing, its better if its a solid colour and it’s best if you feel confident in it.
So, try to find a piece that will fit you great, that still has a bit of trendy twist to it and its a fashion statement. Below are a couple of ideas how the business swimwear could look like for a lady.
I am a huge fan of Eres brand that makes elegant one piece swimwear. Its probably the only brand that has a sophisticated appeal and feminine silhouette at the same time. According to New York Times: “The French company Eres isn’t interested in runway shows or fashion weeks, and it has always shunned the annual Miami event, deciding to keep its beachwear firmly under wraps. Instead, major global buyers and journalists make a by-invitation-only pilgrimage twice a year to the company’s headquarters in Paris to discover in which direction the swimwear fashion current is flowing”.
Valérie Delafosse, the company’s head designer said in one of the interviews that she doesnt care about trends, she only follows her intuition. Eres was founded in 1968 by Irène Leroux. This is what fashion critic Hilary Alexander said about the brand and designs: “Eres makes the best little black swimsuits in the world. They are the Coco Chanel of swimsuits.” I tend to agree! Here are my Top 5 favourites:
