Summer’s here and boutiques are filled with swimsuits sporting the latest fashion trend. Before you grab them by the dozen make sure they flatter your figure and not make you look like a fish out of the water. The best way to check if a swimsuit is perfect for you is to fit it. To lessen those trips from the racks to the fitting room, here are some tips to that’ll ensure you find that perfect swimsuit:
If you’re petite, you can look fab in bikinis, one-piece swimsuits, and sporty ones. Whichever style you get, veer away from those with cutesy designs lest you want to be mistaken for a tweener. And stay away from those with heavy details such as ruffles that would overwhelm your figure.
The best suit for plus-sized women would be one-piece swimsuits with shirring, supportive lining, and durable fabric. The shirring draws attention away from the bulges and the supportive lining shrinks the middle. You may also opt for a swim dress if you’re still not comfortable in a swimsuit.
Those who are well-endowed, uhm…top heavy, can get the support they need from halter-styled swimsuits. If you don’t want to draw attention to your chest, opt for those with patterns than solid colored ones.
On the other hand, if you’re bottom heavy, you may want to buy a tankini paired with black boy shorts. The black boy shorts will make your bottom look a few inches smaller. Look for a top with eye-catching design to draw attention away from your bottom.
