The trick to wearing swimwear well is to be confident about it – as well as knowing what kind of swimwear suits your body. Here is a bit of help that could point you in the right direction:
Big tummies
Do not go for horizontal stripes. If you must, then diagonal or vertical are the best choice. Choose floral patterns as this distracts the eyes, thus camouflaging your stomach.
Ruched suits are also great ways of drawing the eye away from your tummy area. You can even go for a bikini, but wear it with boys’ shorts or even a tankini.
Big buttocks
Dark colors and large prints make you look slimmer.
High cut legs as opposed to a bottom half is preferable. Boys’ shorts will accentuate your buttocks, so do not even think about it.
Wide hips
Again, large prints and dark colors will help minimize those wide hips, while tiny floral patterns will only make them look bigger. Even dark, single colors are great.
A printed top paired with a single colored bottom is also a great way to draw the attention away from your hips.
Small hips
Try wearing horizontal stripes – they will make your hips look nice and wide.
To give yourself more curves, go for boys’ shorts, bottoms with tie sides or even cut-out swimsuits – the flattering, curvaceous effect they create are to-die-for.
Big busts
Wear darker colors on top and by all means opt for vertical and diagonal stripes, just not horizontal stripes.
Swimwear with plunge necks or even deep V-necks is a good option as they will not only give your figure a new lengthiness but also lessen your bust area. If you have narrow shoulders, try wearing a double or wide strapped halter-neck.
Forget spaghetti straps, they will only make your bust look bigger.
Small busts
Buy swimwear with large prints. They are perfect for drawing attention away from smaller busts.
Ruched swimsuits are also great, especially if the ruching is done around the bust area – which will accentuate them, making them look bigger and fuller. Bikini tops with ruffles, frills and other such details are also great buys.
