Show off your best assets with colors, prints and embellishments.
Downplay with darker solids.
The best swimsuit fit is snug, with no gaping fabric. Swimsuits expand
when wet so when in doubt, go smaller.
Shirring works figure flattering magic. It hides bulges, defines
the waist and hugs curves.
For extra bust support, look for underwire, bra style tops and halters
with thicker ties. When tying tops, go tighter.
Tops fit when they cover without your bust bulging below the
underwire or molded cup, or near the underarm.
Monokinis, padded and push up tops, Brazilian bottoms and embellishments
like ruffles and bold colors create the illusion of curves.
To avoid tummy bulge, look for tie side or banded bottoms. Both lay
softly on the tummy. In a one piece, look for surplice wraps and princess seams.
Asymmetrical silhouettes narrow the shoulders and highlight the
beautiful line from a woman's neck to her collarbone. Wear a ponytail for a sleek look.
Create the illusion of legs that never end with high-cut, dark colored
bottoms and a pair of wedge sandals. Use bronzer for a sculpted, even tone.
Our best advice: choose a swimsuit that makes you feel confident and
comfortable. Plan to try on several styles and don't become discouraged.
