When the beach season is just around the corner, the question arises – how to choose a swimsuit that will emphasize all the advantages of the figure, or vice versa – hide its flaws. There are many tricks in this business, knowing which, any woman will feel like the queen of the beach.
Solid or Split?
Women constantly ask themselves the question – what model of a bathing suit to buy for the beach season. Most often, the choice is made in favor of an open separate model, and the shelves of stores are filled with them by 90%. But what if the figure is far from ideal? A one-piece swimsuit is perfect for this situation. For example, to hide the belly, the best has not yet been invented. But one should not think that separate sets are only for thin ones, there are options where panties have a high fit in a retro style, due to which it is perfectly possible to disguise small fat deposits at the waist, but only small ones.
Choosing a swimsuit by body type
In order for a swimsuit to fit 'according to the figure', one should clearly define its type and know its pros and cons, which can be advantageously played with using a certain type of swimsuit. It is categorically impossible to follow the call of the heart and acquire a model that looks great in a picture in a magazine. After all, it is the fitting that will give a chance to fully appreciate how this model will sit on this particular figure, especially the problem one. Consider these popular options:
-
Trikini (monokini) is perfect for women to hide the belly, as it covers this part of the body with a cloth, while remaining open at the sides. But if with them (with the sides) there is the same problem as with the tummy, it is better to consider a closed model. This swimsuit is not like the others because of a certain amount of extravagance, so only confident ladies can wear it. Such a swimsuit is perfect for a small bust if a lace flounce is sewn at the top. The top has classic straps or ties at the neck, the cup is usually made of thin underwired foam.
-
Mayo. As a classic in the world of swimwear, it is the most purchased. Thanks to the successful cut, strong sewn-in shoulder straps, like a regular bra, it will perfectly support any breast. Those who have problems with being overweight can be advised to look for a solid color model with contrasting light inserts on the sides. So, even in the absence of a pronounced waist, there will be an impression of its presence. A one-piece one-color swimsuit that completely covers the tummy and back to the shoulder blades, like a sports one, which tightly fits the body, will sit only on a tightened figure. If there is some excess in the abdomen, then it is better to choose a model made of variegated fabric.
-
Halter. This swimsuit is a close relative of the maillot, with the exception of the top line. Thanks to the wide straps that securely hold the bust of any size, the halterneck is ideal for large women who are not allowed to use a separate swimsuit.
-
Bando can be either solid or split. The solid model is ideal to hide the sides. It is distinguished from other models by the original bodice – it seems to consist of one strip that supports the bust well. If the breast is small and there is a need to visually enlarge it, then this is exactly what is required. Horizontal stripes, ruffles, fringes and flounces will make your breasts 1-2 sizes larger. We shouldn't forget about the miraculous Push-up effect that visually lifts the chest. Some bandos do not have strings and are held to the body due to the structure of the bowl. This option will be appropriate up to 2 breast sizes. If the size is larger, you should choose a bodice with ties.
-
Hi-Neck. The very name of the swimsuit (high neck) tells us that the neck is closed here to the very top. This model is suitable for both full and slender girls. However, its main goal is to hide the small size of the breast or its absence as such, by focusing on other, attractive parts of the body. The design of the bodice, which often has a variegated color, allows you to hide this flaw. But girls with a magnificent bust will lack good support here. On the neck, such a bodice is held with the help of ordinary ties, a plastic fastener or even a hoop, which makes it a very original model. Hi-Neck can be either separate or solid.
-
Tankini. Lovers of everything unusual and original can be recommended to purchase this particular model. In order for a swimsuit to fit the figure, hiding its flaws (after all, this is what it is designed for), you do not need to buy it tight, since you can achieve the opposite result. Tankini are usually high-waisted panties and a short T-shirt that covers the tummy. This model can be recommended for women expecting a baby.
-
Swimdress is a logical continuation of the tankini line. This swimsuit dress simultaneously hides both sides and tummy, increasing confidence in its irresistibility. In addition, swimdress is a godsend for those who naturally have broad shoulders. Due to the shift in accents, the shoulders become visually already due to the flirty skirt. Swimsuit colors can be very diverse, but if you are overweight, it is better to avoid too bright colors and horizontal stripes.
Choosing the 'top' of the swimsuit
The bikini has three common bra options. The correct choice of the 'top' will hide the existing shortcomings or, on the contrary, will emphasize the advantages of this appetizing part of the female body:
-
a soft tissue cup without lining is a good option for firm breasts that do not require intensive support; such a bra dries quickly without changing clothes; ideal for a teenage girl;
-
The push-up effect is ideal for a visual breast lift; suitable for owners of a small bust and those whose breasts have lost their former shape and elasticity.
-
the foam cup allows you to slightly adjust the shape of the breast, giving it a pleasant outline.
How to choose a small bust bra?
For a small bust, there are several options for solving the problem:
-
For those who, in contrast to a small bust, have wide hips, it is best to choose a closed, one-piece swimsuit with a vertical strip. This option will visually stretch the figure, narrow the hips and enlarge the chest.
-
With the help of wide horizontal stripes on the bra, it is possible to give it a voluminous look.
-
Bright, juicy shades are ideal for women with small breasts. However, a drawing or a catchy accent in the form of a brooch is required, as it distracts the eye from the existing flaw.
-
Push-up is designed specifically for those who want to increase their bust by a couple of sizes.
-
Bandeau and halter are great options for visual breast augmentation.
We select a bra for large breasts
It is in vain that the problems of small breasts are considered more global than large ones. Women with a D cup and above suffer much more when choosing a swimsuit, because there are not so many options for solving their problem:
-
A one-piece swimsuit with an underwire bodice is a great choice.
-
An asymmetrical print will visually reduce a large bust.
-
Wide straps are required to support large breasts. It is good if they are held on the shoulders and not on the neck.
It is highly undesirable:
-
to purchase a bodice without pits – it looks unaesthetic;
-
dressing a bando without straps is a deliberately losing option, since such a design will not withstand the weight of the chest and will slip at the most inopportune moment;
-
acquire flashy colors; the color of the swimsuit is better dim, so as not to attract unnecessary attention to it. The horizontal stripe is prohibited.
Knowing how to choose a swimsuit, a woman can easily carry out body shaping on her own using elementary methods. A woman of any body size can look attractive on the beach, and instead of completing, you should just carefully study the differences between the models.
