Summer is Coming - Quick Tips for Bikini Bliss
Go Up a Size
Always try one size larger than you think you wear. When a bathing suit is too tight, the edges cut into your body creating bulges where you’d rather no one look. When a swimsuit fits a little looser, the skin is squeezed less and creates fewer unwanted bulges. Remember less squeeze, more ease.
Avoid Loud Prints and Colors
Small or sparse prints are ok, but big prints attract attention and make you look bigger. If you can’t resist being covered in hibiscus flowers, at least make sure you wear the print where it will draw attention away from problem areas. A printed top paired with a matching solid bottom, for instance, would draw attention away from hips and thighs.
Buy Separates
If one half of your body is much curvier than the other half, you have probably had difficulty finding a one piece swimsuit that fits well. The good news is that there are many brands today that sell tops and bottoms separately. If barring your stomach is not for you, try a tankini which gives you the same coverage as a one piece, but with the convenience of separate sizing.
