Let’s be honest about it!
It’s difficult to find swimwear. It certainly is in my world, but it does not have to be.
I’m going to demonstrate why.
Regardless of body size or shape, I don’t know many people who don’t suffer when it comes to shopping for swimwear.
It’s always a challenge.
This is something I’ve recently gone through. It’s very effective. So, if you want to buy swimwear and get it right every time, keep reading to learn how to choose swimwear for your body type.
Get Your Head in The Game
First and foremost, when it comes to swimwear purchasing, we need to get our heads in the game.
It’s pointless to go out the door or log on to start shopping unless your mind is focused on the task at hand.
What I truly mean is that we need to manage our expectations before we begin.
When we’re looking for swimwear, we often look at pictures of beautiful young bikini-clad models wearing swimsuits and looking amazing.
But we’re not going to dress like that. I’m not going to lie to you: I’m not going to do it. And the majority of us don’t resemble that.
We’re setting ourselves up for disappointment if we expect to see ourselves looking like that. We’re putting ourselves in a position to fail.
So, before we begin, we must put our heads in the game and truly be compassionate to ourselves while managing our expectations.
Give Yourself a Chance
When you’re trying on swimwear in a changing room, it’s easy to feel defeated.
I know I’ve been there. In reality, it was only recently.
But here’s the thing: you have to give yourself a fighting chance. It’s the little things that count.
If you think you’ll feel better if you had a little color before going swimwear shopping, fake tan the day before.
When it comes to trying on swimwear, you want to give yourself the best chance possible.
Of course, you will not be successful in every store that you visit. However, be aware of this possibility.
If you go into the first store and don’t find anything that fits you or works for you, don’t give up.
That occurs. It happens to everyone, no matter what body type or size they have.
So, if this happens to you, don’t give up. You’ll get there if you just keep trying.
Fashion Doesn’t Matter
Another crucial point to remember is that when it comes to swimwear, fashion has no place.
There may be fashionable bikinis that everyone appears to be wearing that season, but if they aren’t suitable for you, they aren’t right.
Don’t fall into the trap of thinking high-waisted bikini bottoms will be excellent just because they’re trendy this season. They aren’t going to work if they aren’t right for you.
When it comes to buying for swimwear, fashion needs to be set aside. It’s all about what you like, what makes you happy, and what makes you feel encouraged and confident.
When it comes to shopping for swimwear, it’s a confidence game.
Embrace Separates
Another piece of advice I have is to embrace separates.
When I was hunting for swimwear recently, I had to do just that.
I found an incredible bikini top that suited me wonderfully in the first store I went to. The only issue was that they didn’t have my size in the bottoms.
Buying the piece that fits you is something I always advise. Buy it if you discover something that fits.
Separates are ok.
I had a feeling I wouldn’t be able to find a bottom that matched these. It doesn’t matter, though.
I was able to come up with a few different briefs that worked for me. So, while the set wasn’t flawless, it worked.
It’s critical to take the piece that fits you. If the top fits you but the bottom doesn’t, or if they don’t have the bottom or top in your size, don’t worry about it; just grab the portion that fits you.
Be Different
My other piece of advice is to not be afraid of being different.
Wearing a rash top and board shorts can be the most comfortable outfit for you. It’s all right.
It’s not necessary for me to give you permission to wear that.
It’s good to remember that being different is fine.
Everyone may be wearing string bikinis around the pool, but if they aren’t going to work for you or make you feel comfortable, don’t wear them. It’s not the appropriate fit for you, and it won’t provide you with the experience you seek.
When it comes to swimwear, sometimes close enough is good enough.
Because the alternative is missing out on fun in the sun, and you don’t want to miss out on that.
If you’re in the store and see something that fits you, grab it. Don’t put it off any longer.
It makes no difference how big or small something is.
Also, keep in mind that when it comes to swimwear, size doesn’t matter.
Swimwear comes in a variety of shapes and sizes, just like fashion. Ignore the number on the label entirely.
It doesn’t matter that the top I bought was a different size than the bottom. They’re distinct brands and various makes.
If you need to go up a size, which is usually the case with swimwear, do so.
Don’t be too hard on yourself, and don’t get too caught up in the stats.
More Isn’t Always Better
More isn’t necessarily better when it comes to swimwear.
What I mean is that when we’re wanting to cover up because we’re not feeling so confident and don’t want to expose ourselves to the world, we frequently fall into the trap of thinking that more fabric will cover us up better and be more flattering.
However, this is not the case.
Extra fabric can actually draw attention to the parts of your body you’re trying to conceal.
Shopping for swimwear is similar to shopping for clothes.
It’s all about creating the illusion. Regardless of the shape or size of your legs, any brief, whether it’s a bikini brief or the brief on a one-piece, should have a slight angle that elongates them.
Remember that more fabric isn’t always more flattering when it comes to swimwear.
When you come out of the sea, you can get sarongs to cover up gently.
However, covering every part of your body in a bikini is not going to make you look more attractive. Typically, it will direct your attention to that specific area.
Don’t Skimp on Quality
Spending a little more on swimwear is always a good idea, especially if you go through the trouble of finding something that fits you well and makes you happy.
The last thing you want is for everything to go apart after just one swim. This is often the case with less expensive swimwear.
It’s simply not built of the same high-quality materials.
They don’t survive long, and they surely don’t hold up against chlorine and salt water. It’s usually a good idea to spend as much money as you can on swimwear because you’ll receive better quality and it’ll last longer.
Ties Are Your Friend
Anything with a tie detail has the potential to be fantastic. Bikini briefs with these tie features, for example, are useful in two ways.
It implies that the brief may be adjusted to your body, allowing you to tighten it and make it fit perfectly.
Another benefit of tie detailing is that it conceals the largest regions of your body, which for me is my hips. As a result, a little tie detail draws the focus away from that area, which is usually very attractive.
Tie detailing on bikini tops, such as halter necks, is also great for achieving a custom fit. Because you have control over how tightly you knot your swimwear, you can truly get it to fit you.
It’s a good idea to check for models with self-tying straps because you can adjust them to properly fit you and your body.
Style Tips For a Big Bust
Support is essential if you have a huge bust.
While I adore triangle bikinis, they don’t provide me with the necessary support. Nothing is more annoying than getting that side boob motion.
But if you like it, go for it; it doesn’t work for me.
I always look for swimwear with an underwire whenever I shop for swimwear.
I have a triangle bikini top that provides a lot of support thanks to the underwires, which are almost undetectable.
It also has boning on the sides, which provides additional support.
The small design features are also pretty clever, because they can be brought down to modify the actual size of the cup.
Underwire bra style bikini tops are the most flattering for fuller busts.
There are also thicker straps. Instead of fine shoestring straps, you’ll need something a little heavier to offer you that extra bit of support.
A one-piece that is higher in the back will also provide you with some support. When it comes to one pieces, molded cups are the way to go.
Don’t be alarmed by the molded cups, which you may believe will make you appear larger. A very delicate, thin molded cup will shape your bust, which is exactly what you want.
Style Tips For a Small Bust
If you have a smaller breast, seek for swimwear that is embellished and has ruffle details.
Anything that draws attention to your bust area, as this can instantly create the impression of fullness.
Triangle tops will provide the appearance of fullness, and there are plenty of padded push-up style bikini tops that will enhance and make your bustline look bigger.
If you have a smaller bust, bandeau tops, especially those with lovely ruffle embellishment, are ideal.
Concealing a Tummy
When it comes to hiding a stomach, detailing does wonders.
Look for a full-piece swimwear with shirring if your issue region is your midriff. I recently purchased one with beautiful shirring detail on both sides.
It just gives you such a great-looking look.
I hope you were able to pick up some helpful hints and advice, and that you now feel much more confident about going out and purchasing some swimwear.
