6 tips for bikini shopping for a curvy woman

Don’t be the kind of plus sized woman that’s too afraid to show her curves at the beach for fear of ‘what people will think’ embrace your body, love your curves…confidence is sexy.

That said, here are tips for shopping for an appropriate swimsuit to flatter your body type:

1. Go for swimsuits that slim the mid section of your body

Swimsuits can be rather revealing, and you want to create the illusion of a smaller figure. Go for color blocked swimsuits and those with geometrical patterns at the waist as they tend to give the illusion of a smaller figure.

2. Fringe & frill details are your friend

A swimsuit with fringe or frill details at the top will hide what you don’t want to show.

3. Yes you can totally rock a one piece

Go for a swimsuit that offers maximum chest support; preferably one that has an under wire and a halter neck.

4. If you don’t want to reveal too much…

then a swim dress is your to go to bikini!

5. Go for a high waisted two piece bikini

Instead of the normal 2 piece bikini, go for a high-waisted option to cinch the waist. Do not be afraid of going for bold patterns, prints and color!
