My friend and I are seriously talking about the diet pill comparison we read online. Why? Well because at the same time we were checking out the nice bathing suits we saw in an online shop. We are both planning beach trips with our families and frankly, our bathing suits don’t fit us anymore so we are looking for nice and cheap suits that we can buy. So I also came across this article which can be helpful to both of us…
The Best Bathing Suit for Your Shape
If You Have Full Hips and Thighs… A suit with eye-catching details above the waist?a pop of color, a deep neckline, hardware?to lure attention to your upper half. Down below, opt for an arched leg line that hits about an inch south of the hip bone. A skirted bottom also hides hips, says Ilene Sofferman, manager of Canyon Beachwear, in New York City. An A-line cut, a slit, or ruched sides keep the look modern. What to avoid: Boy shorts, one-pieces with side cutouts, and bottoms with embellishments, especially ring hardware (which can pinch the skin).
If You Have a Tummy… Designs that skim over the middle (think A-line tankinis) or suits that have ruched or textured fabric or built-in control panels to suck in an ample midsection. And, no, you don’t have to shy away from all bikinis, says Kari Rubin, owner of the Sunsplash Swimwear boutique, in San Diego. “Choose styles with high waistbands that are shirred or folded to give you more coverage.” What to avoid: Tight-fitting tankinis, belt detailing, and low-rise or string bottoms.
If You Have a Large Bust… Underwire is key, but wide or adjustable straps, boning, seamed cups, and sturdy linings help lift the chest, too. Other ancillary support features, like high necklines, full coverage at the armholes, or halters with wide bands under the breasts, also help. And embrace the bikini: “In some cases, a two-piece is actually better, because you have a band of support all the way around the back,” says Linda Sassoon, president of Gottex USA. What to avoid: Skimpy styles that gape open or lack structure, like triangle tops.
If You Have a Straight Figure… Three-dimensional details?ruffles, rings, shirring, padding?and bold prints can make a straight body look more curvaceous, says Pamella Protzel Scott, creative director for the swimwear line Ella Moss Isla: “Bottoms with embellishments bring attention to the hips and create a waistline.” What to avoid: Designs that reinforce straight lines with vertical stripes or harsh square necklines, or anything completely solid and free of texture or accents.
