Once the summer heat kicks in, the quest for the perfect swimsuit also begins. For most women, the perfect swimsuit is the best companion in their endless vacation getaways and beach trips with families, friends, and loved ones.
While many women enjoy swimwear shopping, some do not. And the main reason is that they cannot seem to find the right swimsuit for them, especially mothers who have gained weight over the years. But who says that only thin and waiflike ladies can wear and bare some skin on the beach?
The first step to finding the right style of swimwear is to know your body type. Here are some tips and style ideas to guide you in your swimwear quest (read: shopping).
-
Pear-shaped
Definition: Shoulders are smaller than hips. Weight is concentrated on hips and thighs.
For most women, having a pear-shaped body is like having the plague. To address this body type, try buying a two-toned swimsuit with a dark bottom and light top. Dark colors are slimming, and wearing a plain, dark swimsuit bottom slims down the hip area. Also, choose an eye-catching bikini top to draw the attention away from your bottom.
-
V or inverted triangle
Definition: Shoulders are broader than hips with average-sized waist and narrow hips.
Go for an elaborate bikini bottom and a simple bikini top. Look for ruffled and printed bikini bottoms to balance your upper body with your lower body.
-
Hourglass
Definition: Shoulders are in proportion with hips, and waist is defined.
Lucky girl! Any style will look good on ladies with hourglass-shaped bodies. Play up your body shape with sexy string bikinis, or try malliot bikinis for the more daring ones.
-
Rectangle
Definition: Same with hourglass, but waist is thick.
Wear a low-cut or v-neck malliot to emphasize and create the illusion of slimmer waist. You may also opt to go with one-piece bikinis that have details on the waist area.
Other figure challenges and how to address them:
-
Large bust
Wear a straight-cut bikini top to flatter chest area. Avoid plunging and scoop-neck style swimsuit.
-
Small bust
To add curves and cleavage, find a swimsuit with underwire and padding. Also, swimsuit with triangle-cut tops creates an illusion of fuller bust.
-
Flabby stomach
Ladies who are not blessed with small tummies will benefit from wearing tankinis instead of bikinis.
-
Short torso
Try a two-piece bikini with a halter-top or bandeau-halter style that has details or prints to emphasize the bust area. A halter bikini gives the illusion of longer upper body and is also good for enhancing the bust size. To further elongate the body, you may opt to wear your bikini bottoms or choose those that sit low on the hips, defining the abs and stomach area.
-
Long torso
To give the impression of longer and leaner legs, try a one-piece suit with high-cut legs. However, one-piece suits need not be boring. Choose those that have flattering but simple details, like a suit with a contrasting colored piping, or those that come in shocking summer-inspired colors.
One of the secrets to sexiness is feeling comfortable with your own skin. So remember to buy swimsuit that makes you feel comfortable and at the same time fits you well. Say hello to summer and have a happy swimsuit search!
