Choosing the right swimsuit style can be difficult—there are so many options out there, and not every style will look great on every body. Although there are a number of different choices available, choosing a suit is easier than you think. The trick is to narrow down the options by deciding what you want before you start looking.
Body Type
So how do you figure out what you’re looking for in a suit? First of all, determine what type of swimsuit will work best for you. If you have broad shoulders, a one-piece suit can help give you more of an hourglass shape. One-pieces are also great choices for those with larger rear ends, round stomachs, or skinny legs. If you have a short torso or are lacking in the curves department, though, a bikini is a great choice. Sporty tankinis work well for those who want the coverage of a one-piece with increased convenience, and swim dresses or cover-ups are excellent for those with sensitive skin.
Special Requirements
Figure out if you need extra support or padding anywhere. Push-up suits can work wonders for those with small chests, while larger-busted women will probably prefer swimwear with underwire and thicker straps for extra support. Expectant mothers should take a look at special maternity suits.
Colors and Patterns
Next, figure out what colors you’re looking for. Generally speaking, those with paler skin look better in darker hues, while those with darker skin look better in brighter ones. Solid colors add a certain understated elegance to your look, while patterns are fun, feminine, and flirty. Keep in mind that patterns and bright colors will draw attention to certain areas of your body, so look for color blocks that will emphasize your favorite features and de-emphasize your least favorite ones.
Cute Accessories
Finally, decide if you want any extra detailing, like ruffles, ruching, or bows. These can add personality and femininity to the suit. Finding the right swimsuit doesn’t have to be difficult—check out cute tankinis, unique one pieces, and more here at Swimsuits Direct.
