Five Tips For Choosing The Best Swimwear In Plus Size
As the temperatures rise, you may begin to think of beaches,
swimming pools, and the dreaded trip to the department store to
pick out swimwear in plus size. More than ever, there are a
multitude of different styles, colors, and fabrics that are
available to full figured women. So, how do you begin your
search for the right swimwear in plus size for you? Follow these
five tips the next time you hit the mall in search of the right
bikini, tankini, or one-piece.
Pay For Quality
Let's face it. Swimwear in plus size can be expensive. A good
quality suit can set you back $60 to $100. Yes, you can still
find cheap swimwear for less than $40, but an inexpensive suit
might not fit as well or be as durable. If you will be wearing a
bathing suit more than three or four times, invest in one that
fits well and is made to last.
Select A Style
Not too long ago, plus size women were limited to less than
flattering maillots with matronly attached skirts. This was not
a pretty look. These days, you can choose from sexy bikinis,
flattering tankinis, sporty one-piece suits, boy shorts, and
board shorts. Consider what you will be doing in your bathing
suit. If you will be doing lots of swimming, you may want to
choose a one piece with ample support and coverage. If
sunbathing is more your speed, try the cute bikini.
Choose Your Coverage
Every woman has something about her body that she doesn't
especially like. So, don't worry. Look for a style that plays up
your best features and camouflages the less than perfect. If you
are fair skinned, you may also want to look for additional
coverage from the sun.
Consider Shopping Online
If you detest the fluorescent lights in the department store
dressing rooms and the pesky saleswomen who are not especially
helpful, you may want to shop for swimwear from the privacy of
your own home. There are numerous online swimwear retailers that
carry a wide range of styles and sizes. Most online stores have
great customer service, but make sure you understand the return
policy before you buy.
You Are Your Worst Critic
Give yourself a break when trying on swimwear. Not every suit is
going to look perfect or even fit. Remember to find a suit that
makes you feel comfortable. The last thing you want to be doing
on the beach is tugging on your bottoms or sucking in your
tummy. Go ahead and strut your stuff with confidence, and
everyone else will think that you look great.
