Choosing The Right Swimwear For Your Body

Every weekend the shops are full of women buying the latest accessories to make sure they look great, whether this means buying new shoes to strut about in town or a whole new outfit to wow their friends.Whether heading to a foreign beach or just to the local swimming pool, buying swimwear is one of the trickiest purchases a girl has to make but instead of going for the latest 'in thing', simply buying for your body type makes things much easier – and is likely to have the best end results. Look to maximise your good points and hide away the parts you're less confident about and you can step out in your swimwear with a smile.One of the main areas of concern when buying swimwear is the bust. If you have a small bust, look for bikinis that are underwired and, if you want a helping hand, look for padded tops. If you're happy to show off a bit of flesh, look for a bandeau or strapless bikini or go for the classic triangle look. For girls with large busts, go for the support offered by a halterneck bikini. If you wish to draw attention away from this area look for swimwear with detailing on the bottom half, perhaps by adding a sarong or beach skirt to the outfit.Another typical problem areas is the hips. If you have small hips, think about bikini briefs with a high cut leg or, if you're looking to create a curvier shape, go for hipsters. Really stand out by going for contrasting bright colours and by not plumping for solid, block colours. If you have large hips – or you want to draw attention away from this region – choose plain dark bottoms and match them with a bright, eye-catching top.Hipsters can also be beneficial for those with long bodies who want to reduce this effect, and skirts will also help here. Low necklines will also reduce your body length. Conversely, shorter girls may wish to wear high cut briefs to accentuate their legs.If you want to hide away your stomach, a one piece swimsuit may be the best option. The way they're created helps to hold in your tummy and if you want to keep eyes away form this area then go for swimwear with detailing on the top and bottom – but with a plain middle.Once you've got the perfect swimming costume make sure to get out to the pool or onto the beach and enjoy yourself.Isla Campbell writes for a digital marketing agency.
