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.
