Swimmers, take your mark! Slipping into a plus size swimsuit that fits your body type and personal style
make you feel and look your best. And after all isn't that what we're all after - looking and feeling our best?
Women who struggle with body image or select parts of their body which they don't like also need to learn how to choose clothing and swim
suits that fit their body well and that means learning how to find just the right cut.
Here are a few steps that will take you in the right direction -
Tips for Plus Size Swimwear
1. Stand in front of the mirror and figure out which parts of your body you are happiest with and which are parts you want to
camouflage.
2. Clothing and plus size swim suits are all about minimizing the negative - it's an illusion. Make shorter legs look longer by
wearing a higher cut suit - breasts can be bigger with a ruffled top or bigger breasted women can minimize using a printed top WITHOUT
ruffles.
3. One piece bathing suits can still be sexy without revealing extra weight around the middle an minimizing larger thighs.
Plus size swim suits that use a mini-skirt and tank top like the one from Delta Burke Collection is an excellent choice for
women who want to enjoy the summer sun but aren't comfortable with everyone seeing extra weight.
4. Color should be chosen wisely. Women's plus size swimwear should steer clear of
stripes running in any direction, except when they want to emphasize a part of their body. For instance, when a plus size woman has a small
bustline she may want horizontal stripes over the bustline to emphasize this area and bring it into proportion with the rest of the body.
Draw attention to your assets with bright colors or prints. Be sure the pattern is small so you don't look like a gift wrapped present at
the pool.
5. Wrap styles are coming back in style and they instantly minimize the waist.
