I HATE bathing suits! I have a bit of a belly and do not want to show it off this summer. Any advice for finding the perfect swim suit?Julie
With pool parties and beach days on the brain, a swimsuit that you feel comfortable and confident in is an essential!
Look for these three flattering swimsuit styles this summer:
The Classic One Piece:
Try one in classic hue with a high-cut leg and v-neck style, which will elongate your figure for a streamlined look. For extra waist-whittling properties, look for one with ruching details at the midsection which defines the waist.
Tie Waist Accents:
The old swimsuit rule that more fabric means more flattering doesn’t ring true. Skip the boyshorts, which actually emphasize your hips and opt for a string-tied swimsuit bottom instead.
Mix and Match:
We love to mix and match in our everyday wardrobe, so why not let our swimsuits in on the fun too? Try a printed swimsuit top in a colorful kaleidoscope print which will draw the eye upward and opt for a solid colored swimsuit bottom. For a put-together look, make sure to match the swimsuit bottom to a shade in your swimsuit top.
