Hey Curvy Girls,
Warmer days are approaching and with spring break coming up how many of you still haven’t found that perfect swimsuit? Your in luck this post will focus on what to look for when shopping for swimsuits. Year after year more fashionable swimsuits are being produced for curvy girls and I love the fact that major brands/designers are starting to cater to us. With so many options there are two major factors we need to pay attention to when looking for swimsuits, of course the price and support. When it comes to price, plus size swimwear can run anywhere from $24-$200. Now I’m a firm believer of “you get when you pay for” especially when it comes to swimsuits. With that said here are 3 tips that you should include when shopping for swimsuits.
Tip 1:
Say Yes to SUPPORT– Know your body and exactly where you need the most support, most plus size women need more support up top to hold the girls up. Look for swimsuits that have a wide/thick strap, it will help keep the tension of your shoulders and neck plus hold the girls up. Some swimsuits are made to the exact cup size now, but we all know every body type is different. (You can also purchase a swim bra)
Tip 2:
Tummy control– You girls know I stand by Spanx, so when it comes to swimwear it’s no surprise. I always look to see who has the best tummy control. Take note that when looking at low end brands you wont find the best tummy control but that leads me into my next tip.
Tip 3:
Camouflage troubled areas with prints and colorblocking. You can never go wrong with PRINT- print will camouflage your flaws, when I know that I put on an extra few pounds and its very noticeable around my tummy area I make sure to stick with a printed swimsuit. Smaller prints can literally trim you down and color blocking can manipulate your shape in a good way.
Finding the perfect swimsuit is a challenge, but when you know your body trust me it will get easier.
Now are you ready to go swimsuit shopping?
