Yes, ladies - I realize that the majority of us hate shopping for swimsuits. I also realize that it’s not even summer yet; but it’s never too early to start looking!
This guide will help you find the perfect swimsuit for your body (and I promise it’ll be relatively painless, contrary to what you may believe.)
If you’re the type of woman who dreads trying on swimsuits every season, you are not alone. This guide will show you relatively simple ways to find the perfect suit for you, so you’ll look made in the shade this upcoming season!
First and foremost, you need to figure out your body type. Are you pear shaped? Hourglass? Slender?
Knowing your body type will help you find a bathing suit that works for you.
For example, pear shaped women will look simply stunning in a one-piece bathing suit in a Racerback style. If you prefer two pieces, look for a gorgeous halter top two-piece. Feel free to wear a bold print on top, but stick to a darker-colored bottom.
If you’re slender and want to create the illusion of curves, it’s quite easy to do! Look for a two-piece swimsuit that accents your figure, such as boy shorts with a belt. Little accents like these draw the eye away from your straight up and down figure, and create curves where there weren’t any!
An hourglass shape is, honestly, the perfect body type for any type of swimsuit. Play up the assets you love.
If you have long legs, choose a high-cut bottom to show them off. A halter or bandeau top will show off your shoulders and cleavage, if you like these areas.
The bottom line? While you may have to try on several different styles of swimsuits to find your perfect fit, knowing your body shape will help you immensely in the dressing room.
Don’t let your fear of swimsuit shopping take control! This handy guide will help you get through this experience pain-free. Before you know it, you’ll be rockin’ your summer look in no time!
