Above all other women’s fashion items, swimsuits often cause the most fear and self-consciousness.
To escape the dread and anxiety of swimsuit shopping this year, check out these tips for slimming swimsuit styles.
Tip #1: To balance a pear shape in a bikini, try pairing a halter top with a bottom that dips in the front. The halter top will give your breasts a bit of extra support, while the scooped bottom will make your hips appear less obvious.
Tip #2: To slim and elongate full thighs, try wearing a one-piece swimsuit or bikini bottom with high-cut legs. The high-cut legs will camouflage the fullest part of your thighs by highlighting the slimness of your waist.
Tip #3: To make your belly seem smaller, try a swimsuit with ruching or fabric gathering along the seams. The stylish folds will slim your tummy and cover any wrinkles or lumps. You can also try a one-piece swimsuit with dark insets at the sides. The darker color will add more contour to your waist.
Tip #4: To disguise a large waist, try wearing a tankini with a long top in a dark, solid color. The longer top will cover belly fat, while the dark color will slim your appearance. You may also want to look for a swimsuit with a halter neck or fabric detail around the neckline to draw eyes up and away from your waistline.
Tip #5: To lend your body a longer, slimmer appearance, try wearing a swimsuit with vertical or diagonal stripes. If you find a swimsuit with horizontal stripes that you absolutely love, don't shy away from it entirely. Just make sure that the stripes are thin and narrow.
