the 4 most flattering bathing suits
If you're like me, you're still wearing the same swimsuit you've worn for years. The tried and true may feel comfortable, but it's a good idea to take a fresh look at what style is most flattering for your current shape, especially if you've lost weight recently. There is no universal swimsuit style that is right for everyone. That's because everyone has different features that they want to maximize or minimize. You want to make the most of what you have so find the features you're most comfortable with, and accent them.
Here are four flattering swimsuit styles that you might want to consider:
Color blocks: Suits designed with blocks of color help draw attention toward the body part you're most proud of (and away from areas you're not). For example, a suit with a bold strip of magenta across the chest highlights the bustline, and a block of darker color around the hips diverts attention away from that area. Or, if you want to draw attention to your toned legs, choose a suit with a bright block of tangerine or cobalt on the lower part of the suit and a darker shade above.
A neckline that suits you: Your body type should determine the neckline you choose. For example, swimsuits with a V neck draw the eye upward to your face while it also lengthens the torso. If you have broad shoulders, a U neck suit softens them. If you have beautiful shoulders that you'd like to highlight, choose a halter-top swimsuit.
Bold prints: With all the gorgeous swimsuit colors available, it's a shame to hide behind basic black. True, black conceals. But if you like bold summertime florals, go ahead—as long as the flowers aren't bigger than your fist, they'll look great. A suit with gathered fabric across the waistline can create the illusion of an hourglass figure in a woman who would like to look curvier. Also, shirred fabric can hide bulges.
Two-piece suits with style: If you'd love to wear a two-piece but wouldn't feel comfortable in a bikini, try a tankini — a tank top that brushes the hips and a fitted bottom that comes up to the navel or above — or an Esther Williams-type two-piece with a high-waisted bottom and a full-coverage top.
No matter what you choose, you can tie your outfit together with a beautiful sarong. Choose a color or pattern that either matches or complements your suit. It will make you look even prettier as you relax by the pool or at the beach this summer.
