Finding the right swimsuit can be a tall order for some of us.
Not because we are tall, because we don’t fit the
run-of-the-mill swimsuits. But, atlas, with a little patience
you can find the perfect suit to flatter your body.
Here are a few tips.
· How about a one-piece or a two-piece? There are plenty of sexy
one-piece suits being worn on the beach. They do not reveal it
all, just enough to keep things interesting. The trick is to
find one that fits your body type.
· Are you swimming or sunbathing? If you are into swimming, a
one-piece definitely is for you. Find one that doesn’t cut into
the shoulders, comfortable with stretchy fabric. Don’t get
anything that ties. You don’t want anything to come undone while
doing laps!
· If you are small on top, you may want a little swimsuit from
Brazil. Their swimsuits are cut for the smaller bust line. Also
look for one with some padding, underwire or demi-bra style.
These help to enhance the bust line. Avoid tops with too much
fabric or poor fit. Opt for separates where you can choose your
top and bottom separately.
· If you are well endowed, you may need some extra support.
Underwire tops work well and look great. Also, halter-tops are a
good choice by offering support. One piece swimsuits with some
structure in the bust work well. Avoid strapless tops and those
with tiny tops that offer minimal coverage. And again, make sure
you choose your top and bottoms separately.
· Those with short legs can flatter their figures with suits cut
high on the thigh. This will make your leg look much longer. One
trick is to wear a solid bottom bikini with a printed top. This
will draw the eye upward and give you a longer look. Avoid boy
shorts and skirted bikinis as they draw the eye downward and
make you look shorter.
· Clothes look good on the long body shape but you need to make
sure you don’t look like a bean pole! Bright colors and
horizontal strips work well with this body type. Boys short are
perfect for slimming your hips. Avoid horizontal stripes, high
necklines and solid dark colors.
