ARENA Womens Lara Shapewear Soft Curve Back B Cup One Piece Swimsuit

This swimsuit is nice, and my husband really liked it. I like how soft the fabric is, while still feeling like it is strong enough to last. It fit according to size and is not restrictive, allowing me to move freely. The straps are adjustable, though I wish they were slightly closer together in the back, as it did feel like they might slip down if they weren't tight enough. I personally didn't notice a shaping when I wore it, but it did look and feel nice. If you are looking at this for the shapewear aspect, it may not be the right suit for you. If you like the appearance and want a nice bathing suit that will last, this is it! Read more

This swimsuit is both flattering and functional — it hugs in all the right places without feeling restrictive. The fit is true to size, offering a smooth, shapewear-like feel that’s perfect for both lounging and swimming laps. The quality of the fabric is outstanding — thick, sleek, and feels like it will hold up through many pool days and washes. I love the coverage — modest without being frumpy — and the back curve detail adds a stylish touch. The durability and functionality make it worth every penny. Highly recommend if you want something that’s equally comfortable and confidence-boosting! Read more

My wife is a big Arena fan and has quite the collection of bathing suits from the company. She swims with a team several times a week, so she is happy to have a handful of options, and she has been very fond of the ones she has gotten from Arena. Most of the suits she has from the company having no shaping function built in. But she liked the look of this one from the description and wanted to give it a try. Ultimately, it was a nice suit, but not a great fit for her. It looked pretty good overall, but it gapped a bit too much around the arm holes and she wasn't super comfortable wearing it (both in how it felt and it looked). Of course, fit is a very subjective thing, so you might not have the same issue. This was the only time she had such an issue with an Arena suit. Otherwise, the fabric looks nice in a solid "green blue" color, which feels like the right choice around a pool. Given that, she was disappointed the fit wasn't quite right. She might wear it on vacation, but for her swimming group, it's not going to get into the bathing suit rotation. Oh well. Can't win 'em all. Read more

This suit is gorgeous. I love the name and the color of it: mangrove. The suit is sleek and streamlined. Perfect for wearing in the public pool when you have to supervise a bunch of kids for rec. It is modest and fits superbly. The straps are adjustable and the lining of the suit is dense and not see-through. The material of the suit is thick, durable, and hopefully will not fade out from chlorine in the pool. The unique color of the suit alone, makes it a stand out. Read more

This is the nicest swimsuit I've bought online, ever. The fit is nearly perfect. (No, you're not getting a picture of me wearing it. Nobody wants to see my misshapen body.) It's a flattering fit, even on my apple shape. The fabric feels like it's good quality. I haven't tested it in actual swimming yet—it's a little late in the season for outdoor pools, and there isn't an indoor one handy for me to use at the moment—but the design doesn't seem to restrict motion at all. The color is nice and bright, but it will be several months before I can determine how much it fades from exposure. One thing to note is that where it says "B cup" in the description, they're not kidding. It can stretch enough to fit a C cup, but anything larger is likely to not fit. Fortunately, I'm between a B and a C cup, so no issue for me. I'm hoping that it will wear well once I actually get to use it. I'm looking forward to getting to try it out! Read more

I really wanted to like this suit, but I just don't. The fabric is very nice and I absolutely love the color. Unfortunately this is where the love fest ends. It's too short for my body. It's either threatening to expose my boobs and pulling and smashing them in a most unflattering way or it's crawling up my butt. Neither of those options appeal to me BTW. The top is also oddly sized. I have big boobs, we're talking 36E here, and somehow it still gaps in the sides and offers no support. I know this company and they make a lot of fantastic suits. This just isn't a good one for me. Read more

What a darling swimsuit! My tween is normally a bikini girl but has occasion to need a 1 piece for a few things every year. This suit is flattering, and modest enough to satisfy the gym teacher's requirements, and her church camp dress code (no bellybuttons). The Red Onion color is sort of a pinky red and it is really lovely. Arena makes great athletic swimsuits and this one is no different. It fits as expected and my daughter said it is comfortable to wear. We're happy. Read more

First- I didn't look at the size chart, as the last time I bought a suit, I was a 44 (in Speedo), and I've had 3 kids since then, so went ahead and grabbed a 46. Well, I probably should have looked because it's a bit large on me! I'm about a 16 in pants, and I'm 5'4 with a long torso. It's nowhere near baggy or anything, I just prefer a tighter fit. That said, it's still 100% wearable and flattering! I do find the bust a bit large for me, though. I'm about a D cup, but I don't quite fill this suit out. At the same time, there's not a lot of coverage up there, so I'd rather it be a little on the large side than busting out of it, I guess. The quality of this suit is fantastic! Not too thin, holds everything in place well. It's very comfortable. Read more
