Decisions, decisions. Now it seems there is a bathing suit for every type of woman or situation as there are mastectomy suits, maternity swimsuits, plus-size swimwear, suits for tall or petite women. And then the real decisions start.
Do I want a one piece, two piece bathing suit, bikini, or tankini. Should it
be slimming, help camouflage (you know) with an underwire, or be one of those what they call
miracle suits. Should I be bold and go with something hot, sheer, sexy, exotic as in something skimpy
like a thong or brazilian g string. Do I splurge and look for a brand name designer like Tommy Hilfiger,
Victoria Secret, Anne cole, or sporty with Nike or Lands End. Or do I do as I always do and look on the
discount rack or wait for my bathing suit pick to go on sale. And lets not forget color, black, white,
floral or florescent. Decisions decisions.
What womens swimsuit fashion is best and most flattering for your body type
Apple shaped body frames have broader shoulders and smaller hips. Two-piece bikinis or tankinis with a solid color top and a patterned bottom will give you a more balance appearance.
Pear shaped body types have larger hips and smaller shoulders with a waist that is larger than the shoulders. One-piece bathing suits with tummy control or other design feature that create the illusion of a waist line will be the most flattering.
Small Bust - To enhance a smaller bust try a halter bikini top that has a seam just under the bust line or a lightly padded or line top. Swim wear with texture can also help detract attention away from your bust line if you feel self-conscious.
Fuller Bottom - Skirted swim suits are back in style and can be found in many different patterns and styles. The skirt flatters a fuller bottomed body type and will give you a more balance look. You may also want to try on a few boy short styles as well. Both of these options offer a little more coverage on the bottom.
Slender, athletic bodies have shoulders, waist and hips that are the similar in width. One-piece or two-piece suits with detailing around the waist will help create a more hourglass shape. Try a wrap style top or a belted bathing suit bottom to create more waist definition.
Hourglass figures have balance shoulders and hips with a smaller waist. If this is you, you're lucky because just about any classic styled bathing suit should flatter your figure.
Buying a swimsuit is about perception
Buying a swimsuit has a lot to do with beauty
because it’s more about perceptions than it is
actual good looks. The fact is, with the right
attitude, nearly any woman’s swim suit will
look good to men, provided there’s a woman in it.
Other women are much pickier about what suit looks
good on what body, and the worst critic of all is
that chick in the mirror. I have a few beauty tips
about bathing suits and bikinis, which I will pass on to you
in the hopes that they will inspire confidence.
Some of them are just theoretical for me, and
others I use whenever I shop for a suit. Use what
works for you.
How much are you willing to spend for designer swimwear?
Like good shoes, good bathing suits cost money.
You’re paying for design here, and for things like
built-in controls or enhancements. Thanks to the
fairly recent craze for selling binkini tops and bottoms
separately, retailers have found they can charge a
lot more for a whole suit than they could five or
six years ago when bottoms and tops were
inseparable. On average, a decent suit will cost
you around $60. On the other hand, if you have a
great body, it doesn’t matter if your suit is
cheap because you don’t have anything to hide.
Just make sure you buy something that won’t come
apart when it hits the water.
When to buy a cheap swimsuit.
If you’re only going to wear a bathing suit the three days
you go to the beach each year, or for sunning in
the back yard, you can go cheaper too. In fact,
there’s no reason not to wear a pair of shorts and
a bathing suit top or even a camisole or tank top.
It’s crazy to spend a lot of money for a suit you
aren’t going to wear.
One piece or two piece bathing suit? Who will be looking or who do you want looking?
A shy friend of mine went to Mexico, and because
she was very modest and didn’t feel very pretty,
she wore a pair of men’s trunks and a bikini top
in the pool at the hotel. A Mexican fellow who
frequented the pool told her that if she wanted to
blend in, she’d better drop the trunks and wear
bikini bottoms. She did, and they went dancing
several times after that. She came home with a
golden tan and a happy expression.
Comfort is important, and depending on the beach
or pool scene, either no-one will notice you at
all, or everyone will be watching everyone else.
If it matters to you, or if your boyfriend’s ex is
going to be at the party, fork out the big money
and look great, even if you only wear that suit
that one day.
How much coverage do you want from your beach wear?
Crucial to the question of bathing suits is
coverage. Again, the nicer your body, the less
coverage you need, unless you’re shy or you’re
smart and want to save your skin from sun damage. You can apply sunscreen and sunless tanner and have a beautiful glowing tan without the sun exposure. Just be sure to evenly distrubute and don't over apply the self tanner and end up looking a shade or orange.
If you plan to be swimming or playing volleyball
or surfing, you may want more coverage because a
suit that covers more of you also tends to hang
on, where flimsier, actually make that skimpier, things might fall off or out.
With board shorts, boyshorts and hipster bikinis,
we can buy suits that fit even in the middle of a
plus size day or PMS fat attack. A well-cut one-piece can hide and camoflauge an
assortment of figure flaws. Contrary to what some
experts will tell you, large floral designs do not
minimize a heavy body, and you don’t have to wear
black either. Depending on where the chubbiness
lies, a smaller-coverage suit may turn out to be
more flattering than the high-coverage suit you
didn’t want to buy anyway. No one can possibly see
all the lumps and bumps as the girl in the bathing suit in the
mirror does, so pick the least worst suit you can find,
and get out there and play!
