We have a philosophy here at SwimsuitsDirect.com, that every woman can look good in a swimsuit, you just need to find the right one. Just because you have a fuller figure, it doesn’t mean you have to wear the dowdy, boring swimsuits of yesteryear. There’s absolutely nothing sexy or cute about wearing a sack on the beach, so instead of dimming your light and wearing some horrible baggy dress, look for styles and brands that are fashion forward that flatter and enhance your curves. While cover-ups are fabulous pieces to keep in your arsenal, don’t let them be your swimwear end-all. Too many times, guides advise you to cover up, but we say, throw caution to the wind and find that plus size bathing suit that really helps you shine! Here are a few to check out:
Morocco Tankini by Becca Etc.
Hip Tankini
The Morocco Tankini by Becca Etc. is a great choice for those not afraid of color or prints, and is ideal for the plus-sized apple figure. The straps are both adjustable and removable so you can avoid weird tan lines, and the shirred hipster bottom sits slightly lower on the waist, extending your torso while still allowing your legs to look long.
Garden Romance Shirred One Piece by Suit Yourself Plus
Floral One Piece
The Garden Romance Shirred One-Piece by Suit Yourself Plus hits the mark for the all-around fuller figure: it has halter straps for added support, shirring across the mid-section to help play down a larger tummy, and comes down slightly lower to give the illusion of thinner thighs. The bright floral print draws attention up to the face without being distracting. The Shirred Sheath One-Piece from It Figures Plus has a similar offering, but in a darker, neutral palette.
Daisy Blouson-Kini by Anne Cole Plus
High-Waisted Blouson
The Daisy Blouson-kini by Anne Cole Plus has a similar feel of a tankini but without the straps. If you’re pear-shaped, the high-waisted bottom offers tummy control and extra comfort, while the blousy top let’s you show off your smaller shoulders and arms. You can easily slip on a pair of chambray shorts or denim trousers over this suit before you head out to make traveling a breeze!
Retro One Piece
Sapphire Rib One Piece by Ibiza Plus
Ibiza Plus offers a retro-inspired one piece perfect for a woman with a wider hour-glass figure. With a halter tie top, small ribbing and slight paneling across the chest, it has a slight boudoir feel to it, so it’s fantastic for those strong women who aren’t afraid to be a little sexier with their swimwear. This great swim piece comes in a variety of colors.
Brightest Blue
Pleat Front Bandeau A-Line by Cole of California Plus
Many style guides say tell plus size women to stay away from bright colored bathing suits. Frankly, we don’t understand why. With swim pieces like the super chic Pleat Front Bandeau A-Line by Cole of California Plus there’s no reason a fashion forward plus size fashionistas can’t rock this flowy bandeau tankini at the beach. The loose fit, A-line shape draws the eye up towards your face and away from your stomach and disguises unsightly muffin tops.
