If you're like most women, just thinking of shopping for swimsuits, especially plus size swimsuits can fill you with anxiety. But the good news is you don't have to be a size 2 in order to find a bathing suit that will fit and flatter your unique shape. This guide will show you how easy it is to select the perfect swimwear, including plus-size swimwear, for your body type.
Whether you're looking to enhance what you have, or camouflage what you have a little too much of, the key to finding the right bathing suit is knowing which styles, colors, fabrics and patterns will flatter your body. Below you'll find the most common concerns women face when shopping for swimsuits, and how to address them.
Need more support for your bust? Look for swimwear with built-in underwire bras that shape and support your bust, for a natural look that never flattens you out. If you aren't comfortable wearing underwire, Lycra and Spandex are wonderful fabrics that provide added support.
Want to enhance the appearance of your bust? Always select bathing suits with padded or demi-cups and choose bold patterns over solids. Extras like ruffles, gathering and detailing along the bust, also help to enhance what you have!
Do you have a long torso? If you're a tall woman, there are a number of long torso bathing suits available. For maximum coverage, try a one piece long-torso suit, designed specifically for your longer silhouette. If you're feeling a bit more daring, there's the trendier option of a tankini. A two-piece swimsuit provides more comfort and you won't have to worry about your bathing suit riding up on you.
Tips for your hips! If you're a larger woman who's more pear-shaped, the idea is to draw the eye away from the hips and up toward the shoulders, bust, and waist. Try plus-size swimsuits with lower necklines and suits with sashes at the waistline. Another option is the popular swimskirt with a flared cut. Veer away from loud patterns and remember that darker colors are always more slimming.
Can you minimize your thighs and rear? Absolutely! Look for bathing suits and plus-size swimsuits designed to accentuate the waistline and bust. A skirtini, shortini or swimdress will do the trick. Also try a suit that is cut higher along the bottom to give the illusion of a longer leg.
Does your tummy need some help? Inside tummy control panels are an ideal solution. Best of all, they're so comfortable and natural looking, even you won't know they're there! Again, Lycra and Spandex are excellent fabrics and will do wonders to flatten your tummy.
When shopping for swimwear, including plus-size swimwear, remember that you are a real woman with a real body and there are real solutions to help you look and feel your best so you can get out there and celebrate every inch of you!
