Summer Style: Swimsuits for All Body Types

It's summer time ladies!  And that means that swimsuit shopping is likely on your list of things to do.  However, finding that perfect bathing suit is, at times, a daunting task.  Regardless of your body type or size, there is a bathing suite out there perfect for you...I guarantee it!  With these tips, there will be no need to dread going to the beach or lounging by the pool this summer.

SMALL BUSTED

• High waisted bottoms draw attention to abs.
• Flounce adds fullness up top. 
• Get your flirt on with ruffles that create curves.
• Your BFFs are padding and underwire. 
• Horizontal stripes will give you extra oomph.
• A bright zigzag print can help you fake curves.
• For faux cleavage, try a sweetheart neckline.

PETITE

• A ruched shelf bra adds fullness.
• "Highlight" your petite proportions in a neon hue. 
• Frilly ties add presence where it counts. 
• Boost your bust with strategically placed knots.

ATHLETIC

• Pad a petite backside with pleats.
• Tops that have center knots create a bustline.
• Midrise briefs bare your belly-button (and you won’t get a wedgie)

HOURGLASS

• Lemony-colored ruching is supportive and forgiving.
• Lycra sucks it all in; a single strap highlights sexy shoulders. 
• Hide a muffin top in a long tankini. 
• Fake flat abs: Draping whittles the waistline. 
• A tiny print creates dimension and distracts from the tummy.
• Sporty shorts keep you covered, as does the builtin ultraviolet protection.
• Flaunt sexy shoulders and hot hips in a tankini.

TOP HEAVY

• Underwires keep the girls in place.
• Ban bounce with structured cups.
• Tops with stripes minimize the size of your bust.
• Strut your stuff without fear in a bandeau secured with a sturdy, three-pronged clasp.
• Cleavage draws eyes up.
• Buy your top and bottom in different sizes.
• Yes, you can do string. Tie at the hip bone, not higher.
• Ruching is so flattering.

BOTTOM HEAVY

• Adjustable ruching lets you be as cheeky as you dare.
• Abstract prints skim the body.
• Bathing suits with built-in-skirts flatters your hips.
• Gold paillettes divert eyes from a generous backside. 

PLUS SIZE

• Adjust ties to banish a belly; thick straps stop sag. 
• Buy pieces separately for a perfect fit. 
• An inner layer supports; an outer wrap cinches a sexy waist. 
• An Empire waist highlights your slimmest point. 

Enjoy the summer ladies and embrace your bodies, no matter what shape or size you are.  Remember, confidence is sexy!
