How to choose a swimsuit in 2020 - 2021 8 tips

In this article we will talk about which swimwear 2021 trends and give some useful tips for girls of different configurations.

  1. Assess yourself as honestly as possible. Stand in front of a large mirror and carefully examine your body from all sides. Now that you know exactly what you want to hide and what to emphasize, you can go to the store.
  2. The size is a relative value. Do you wear size 46 clothes? This does not mean at all that you also need a swimsuit on the 46th. How often on the beach you can see from the side that the swimwear of many ladies is simply too small for them! Depending on the model, swimwear sizes can vary, and 99 percent of women who usually wear size 46 need a size 48 or 50 swimsuit.
  3. Raise it higher! When trying on a one-piece swimsuit, pull the straps up, and lift the hip cutouts higher than you would normally wear. Then gradually lower to the position that seems correct to you. Thus, the swimsuit will better support the chest and buttocks.
  4. If you have beautiful thighs and buttocks, do not buy a swimsuit that is too tight. A closed swimsuit indicates that you have something to hide. A swimsuit with high thigh cut will suit you.
  5. If you have a large bust, choose a more closed swimsuit with a high neckline. Better yet, find a swimsuit with criss-cross straps on the back. They will both tighten and support your breasts.
  6. If you are short, your swimsuit is open. Your petite figure will look slimmer and taller in a swimsuit with a low neckline and high thighs.
  7. If the bottom is more than the top, choose a swimsuit with a square neckline and wide straps. Your figure will appear more proportional.
  8. If in doubt, cover up. The “mini bikini” may look just fine, but if you are not entirely sure if it suits you, it is better to cover up the part of the body that is in doubt than to put it on public display. Do not assume that others do not see what you can see.

Between us girls

So on the beach we all love mini bikinis - two strings, three strings. In practice: a bikini is possible for everyone, but not for everyone it looks aesthetically pleasing. Even with a weight of 80 kg and more, if the body is not loose, but fit, these strings will come off, but it is better to come up with an original style so that the suit fits.

If you are the owner of a normal figure, but "let yourself loose a little", a separate swimsuit will suit you: the top - with a wide strip leading to the armpits, the bottom - panties with a low waist. Now it is fashionable to wear panties-shorts. Paradoxically, they look very good on girls with not very long legs. On tall ones, they create the impression of a short body and "remove" the waist.

If you have narrow shoulders and wide hips, buy panties with a separately purchased skirt with a light-colored pattern top. Above all, don't buy bras that tie around your neck! This will only accentuate the hips and make the breasts smaller.

If you have a larger top than a bottom (wide shoulders with a bust and narrow hips), forget about push-up bras with ruffles, buy a simple solid color and better tie at the neck underwired bra. And, it is desirable that the bottom be brighter than the top. For example, solid top, colored bottom or black top, white bottom.

Overweight girls who do not risk wearing separate swimwear should not dwell on black. Choose a one-piece swimsuit of any color - the main thing is to emphasize the merits. If you have large breasts - a lighter color, pattern or frill on top. It is necessary to hide the belly - in addition to special swimsuits (shaping), you can choose a model with a colorful pattern on the belly or drapery.

The main thing is to remember that a swimsuit should emphasize dignity. Stand in front of a mirror and find something that you are proud of (or at least something that does not annoy you) - and emphasize!

And further…

If you are overweight, never follow the temptation to buy a swimsuit one size smaller - they say, it will "pull" all the bulges. Choose one size larger and then the straps will not dig into the shoulders, the chest will not fall out of the cups, and the panties will emphasize all the folds on the sides.

Special, double, models, inside which a tight tightening mesh corset is attached, is a good invention for obese women.

When choosing a swimsuit, pay attention to the quality of the seams (there should be NO HOLES in the place of the seam) and color fastness.

Having chosen several swimsuits to try on, "test" each of them: sit down, bend over, stretch in different directions. If it doesn't press anywhere, nothing unexpectedly falls out; and in general you feel that everything is "in place" - you have found your swimsuit.

If you are the owner of a flawless figure, do not wear an overly bright swimsuit - it will only distract attention from your luxurious forms.

A one-piece swimsuit with high cutouts on the sides will visually lengthen the legs.

Rinse your swimsuit in fresh water after every swim, and it will keep the colors bright for a long time.

So, the secrets of choosing a swimsuit in 2020 - 2021

 Large horizontal stripes, bright, voluminous floral print make the figure bigger.

 In one-piece swimsuits, large side cutouts make the swimsuit square.

 The diagonal color palette reduces the waist.

 The vertical print (stripes) and bright color in the swimsuit makes the figure slimmer.

 Bulky or wide ties or straps make the shoulders bulky.

 Tankini is the best and free version of a swimsuit for overweight ladies.

 The high cut on the thighs visually lengthens the legs.
