For a sport look ,support and structure are given by panelling the swimsuits, although it may be underwired too. The use of panels can serve to enhance the curves on a flatter figure, especially if the panels are in a patterned material against a darker, plain-coloured background. They can also offer additional support. This links corsetry and lingerie withswimwear, both in styling and by making a woman's figure appear slimmer.
