While one piece swimsuits have been perceived as old-lady bathing wear or for heavier-set ladies, this is no longer the case. The truth is that a one piece can be much sexier than a regular old bikini, but the key is how confident you feel when you wear them.
Find the Right Size
When buying a swimsuit, some women assume that the sizes correlate with traditional clothing. In many cases, however, this is not true, and getting the right size is very important for how the end result will look. If you are shopping in a store, ask to see a fitting chart so that you can be measured in order to find the ideal size. Sizes can also change from one brand to another so make sure that you try the suits on. You may find that you are a 34 in one brand and 38 in another.
Bathing suits also fit one way when dry and another way when wet, so ask if the fabric of the suit will change how it fits once you get in the water. If you order online, using a sizing chart is imperative, and it helps if you use a company that offers free shipping and returns.
Buy for Your Body Type
There is a wide variety of patterns and styles, and there is the perfect one piece for everyone. For women with a wider midsection, try suits with crinkled fabric in the middle or jewels near the straps/bust to draw attention elsewhere. Women with bigger thighs may want to search out a suit with a skirt. Women with bigger chests should look for thicker straps, built-in bras, crossing adjustable straps, or a halter style.
Act Confident
How you feel in the suit will affect how it looks to others. Choose patterns and colors that you love, and add jewelry, a hat, or other accessories to compliment the look. Don’t be afraid to show it off, and keep a smile on your face.
