So maybe you’re not exactly bikini-ready: either you did not find time to work out or your diet failed yet again. But it’s the height of summer and there’s no excuse not to put on a swimsuit and hit your favorite beach spot!
Stop being embarrassed about your body; have the confidence to show off your shape-curvy or not. To do this, just find the right swimsuit to accentuate your assets and hide some flaws.
Here are some tips from The Lucky Shopping Manual by Kim France and Andrea Linett to keep in mind when you go swimwear shopping:
- Find out what body type you have. This understanding helps you pick what fit and style suits you. Knowing your body more will help you embrace and love it more, making you comfortable in whatever shape you have.
- Keep in mind your beach activities when choosing a suit. While a string bikini may be perfect for sunbathing, it may not provide you the support you need when playing beach volleyball, for instance.
- Try on trends. You need not limit yourself to what’s available or what you’re used to. You gain more knowledge about what works for your shape by trying on a wider variety of styles. For instance, you may have overlooked a maillot that fits you perfectly by assuming it wouldn’t look good on you. And you do know trends change from season to season, so why not go for a trendy suit over a more conventional one?
- Move around when trying on swimsuits. While in the fitting room, try to bend, squat, or stretch with the suit on to test the fit and support it provides. Check key areas like the butt, back, breasts, and shoulders if they fit snugly without having to be tugged or pulled constantly.
