Shopping for women’s bathing suits can be a daunting task because most women believe that bathing suits compliment only those with the perfect hourglass figure. This is not so. If you consider that very few have perfect figures, then you’ll realize that there are many swimsuit options that can look great with your own body type.
You have the option of wearing one- or two-piece suits if you have large hips, but you should wear solid colors on the bottom to add more emphasis to the top part of the body. Remember that high-cut legs emphasize the hips, so try to buy low-cut legged suits.
If you are slightly overweight, try wearing string bikinis. However, string bikinis may not sustain strenuous physical activities so they are not very appropriate for women who play a lot of sports such as beach volleyball.
Wear medium to high-cut legs, and suits with wide straps if your shoulders and bust are broader than your hips, and emphasize on colors and textures on the bottom. Avoid plunging neck lines or mini bottoms and concentrate on square necks.
Streamlined skirt bathing suits look great on women with pear-shaped figures. Avoid any type of suits that reveal your thighs. The cut out bathing suit, on the other hand, is perfect for women with bigger waists.
Two-piece suits without a defined waist are great if you have an “H" shaped body. If you’re buying a one-piece suit, look for piping and princess seams that have the effect of giving you extra curves, and concentrate on bold colors. Also void solid-colored tanks.
As you can see, with a little thought to swim suit style, any body can look great on the beach or in the pool.
