Hide your weaknesses and highlight your strengths! Heighten your confidence on the beach by choosing the right swimsuit. A swimsuit guide to flatter your bodyline.
Protruding Tummy
If you have a big stomach, dark yet colorful patterned one-piece swimsuits that are tight around the waist can counter your weakness. Sticking with achromatic colors all the time to counter your weakness can make you look like a student going to gym. Nowadays, two-piece swimsuits with tops that do not expose the stomach are easy to get as well. But if you still can’t forgo bikinis, the answer is high-waisted swimsuit. It’s an especially good option if your upper stomach does not protrude as much as your lower stomach. With their spanx-like design, they hold your lower stomach in and give the illusion of longer legs.
Small Chest
If you don’t have enough fat, trying to create a cleavage by pulling your breasts together can look unnatural or flat on the side. Wear a halter-neck bikini that uses the cloth’s elasticity to push the breasts up. It’s even better if you choose a design that features elaborate embellishments on the chest such as ribbon, shirring, and fringes. Tightly woven, knitted swimsuits are also recommended.
Saggy or Wide-Set Chest
Even with full breasts, your breasts may not look flattering if they are saggy or wide-set. For this body type, choose among bikinis with underwire that can firmly support the breasts. Choose bikinis as you would your bras, looking for enough support. Also, halter-neck designs that emphasize cleavage complement this body type.
Plump Lower Body
If you are worried more about the fat in your lower body than your upper body, the key is to guide the eye upwards. Reveal your shoulder and chest by wearing a one-piece swimsuit with low neckline. Counterintuitively, cut-out designs open at the waist give the illusion of slender waist as well. Bottom pieces with fringe or shirring also hide plump thighs.
