How to Choose a Bathing Suit

It's approaching the time of the year for pool parties and sun bathing, and you know what that means... You're going to need a bathing suit that's not only sexy, but flatters your figure also. Yes, that's sounds like quite a feat to conquer, but knowing how to select a bathing suit can relieve the stress and make your booty look fabulous!

Measure Yourself

Before you rush to purchase a new bikini, take a few moments to measure your waist, chest and hips. Finding a suit that fits ideally is key to creating a sexy summer look. You might notice that you're a little top heavy in the chest area or you have a little bit extra junk in the trunk, which is fine. But make sure you buy the correct sizes even if that means buying a different size top than you buy for your bottom.

Assess Your Body

This might be the hardest part of buying a swimsuit, but don't let that discourage you. You might not be 100 percent comfortable with every one of your body parts, and guess what? That makes you just like a majority of women out there. The key to assessing your body is to determine your problem areas, so you can buy a bathing suit that works best for you.

Use Your Assessment Wisely

Take the results of your self-conducted assessment, especially since you know what you like about yourself best, and use it to your advantage. If you're not a fan of your thick thighs, try finding a bathing suit with a skirt. The skirt will hide your hips.

Maybe, you’re a little self-conscious about your breasts because they aren't as perky as they once were or you're just large-chested. Try halter-tops and spaghetti straps for the best support. Look for suits with some built-in pick-me-up. One-piece options tend to have more support for your “upstairs.” On the opposite end of the spectrum are women who don't have a ton of chest. In this case, you should opt for a strapless bathing suit top. Some swimsuit tops are even push-up bras that can enhance the look of your chest.

Your middle might be a little bit bigger that you want it to be. Hiding your stomach is easy in one-piece swimwear. Tankinis also hide belly fat well.
