Tips When Picking Your Swimsuits

Some people probably think that it is too cold to even begin thinking about a new swimsuit. But the truth is it is never too cold or too hot when it comes to buying swim wear, or at least to get started thinking about the latest fashions that you may have seen on a swimsuit model. If you are like many women, then you start to hyperventilate as soon as you even think about showing off your body at the pool or beach.

Naturally, you want to look good in a bathing suit; however, most do not know how to help this along. And truthfully, many of the salespeople that assist you do not have a clue as to what would look best on you. Usually they are just trying to make a sale and the more expensive the better. However, that does not mean that a sexy bikini, a speedo swimwear selection or a one piece swimsuit would not look good on you. Even one of the newer tankinis may be a good choice. Perhaps just a little advice on how to work with what you have is needed.

Adding a bow or ruffle to a bikini top gives the appearance of more bulk, as does a suit that ties in the front; just tie it tighter than you normally would. A swimsuit that has triangular or shaped cups will also give the appearance of more curves. However, stay away from the bikini tops that are in the tube or bandeau style, as they actually tend to detract from the smaller bust.

Under wires are the best way to support larger breasts; however, they do nothing to help downplay the size of your bust. If you want help minimize how large your bust appears, then avoid triangular tops or the smaller ones with no coverage. Also, if you are set on a two piece swimsuit, then avoid a top with slender or small straps, as they do not give adequate support and may actually make breasts appear larger.

If you have a short torso, then make sure the bikini bottom of the swimsuit sits low on your hips and leaves skin showing above the waistline. Then match with a halter top that draws attention to your chest and shoulders. If you have a longer torso, then you should try a suit that is cut higher on the leg to instantly give the impression of added length. Keep in mind that the wrong suit can make someone with a short torso appear extra blocky, whereas the correct one will help elongate the torso.
