When summer rolls around, with it comes swimsuit season. You may already be stifling a groan; if you are a larger woman, you've probably become accustomed to the narrow selection and small range of sizes that seem to occur every year, no matter how early you make it to the shops. No matter how annoyed you are, though, remember that there are options. There's a whole range of flattering plus size swim wear out there, if only you know where to find it.
The first thing you need to remember to do is to check online. Have a good friend take some measurements to make sure that you're shopping for the right size and hit Google. You'll be surprised by the options you find. When you shop online, you don't have to worry about places being sold out of your size or not offering it in the first place. Sites like Maximum Women and Lane Bryant have designed swim wear that is specifically meant to flatter a larger figure and they have done a terrific job!
Bathing suits have come a long way in just a few years and designers are putting in some real time and effort to find suits that will suit their varied client lists. You can now find swimsuits that are perfect on you, rather than having to make do, and you'll be happy to see the burst of colors that are currently in fashion. Take a look online and find out what's out there.
So the question becomes, what kind of swim wear are you interested in? You may feel that you have to restrict yourself to a solid color one-piece, but nothing could be further from the truth! Take a look at the many different places that offer tankinis, for example. With a bikini bottom and top that resembles a tank top, you'll find that you're ready to shine. If you find that you prefer one piece suits, there's no reason to stick with black or navy blue. Let yourself bloom with a floral pattern, or sleek vertical stripes. Either way, you're sure to look great!
What if you need to be totally covered? Some larger women do have skin conditions that make saltwater and sunlight difficult to take for long periods. You may consider the Burkini, an Australian swimsuit that offers maximum protection while still giving you the maximum amount of women. Though it was originally designed as a bathing suit for devout Muslim women, women from all over the world started ordering it for its flattering shape and high degree of protection from the elements.
There's no reason to dread the upcoming swim suit season. Take a look around online and find your best bathing suit match. When you hit the pool or the beach, you'll be looking sharp and everyone will know it!
