How to Find a Flattering Swim Suit

When you hit the pool, the last thing you want to worry about is your swimsuit. Hiding under an oversized t-shirt or grandma's trunks can get sloppy. A swimsuit is the most difficult garment to shop for, as it confronts our body shape like no other garment does. It might seem that swimsuits do not allow you to hide anything. On the other hand, with the right kind of swimsuits, you can enhance or camouflage a lot.

A one piece swim suit is usually more flattering to mature figures instead of a bikini or even a two-piece suit. The well designed and cut swimming costume's lines will emphasis a well sculptured figure of any age to show off curves rather than bulges. And if you have lost the sculptured look then a simple swim suit hides the evidence much better because mature figures tend to gather bulges or bumps where wise fashion wisdom dictates concealment to be the more comfortable exposure option.

There are many different styles of swim suits and shoppers will generally know which they want. Many ladies, especially those who wear larger sizes, have a hard time finding a nice bathing suit. The first sign of summer is often dreaded by them.

First do a body assessment. Find out your best features and understand what you need to highlight or hide. It isn't about how much skin you show but its all about how you show. The key is to create an illusion of a balanced figure.

Lift your arms up to check that the stretch is comfortable enough. The bottom of the swimsuit should not ride up. Try a size larger than you generally wear for a better fit. While trying, bend over, stand, sit, walk and assure that it is comfortable from all angles. Matte fabrics and dark hues are the most slimming.

What you wear on top of your swimsuit talks so much about your style as the swimsuit itself. A crisp, white unbuttoned shirt and a sarong at the waist is quite chic and cool. Wear your sarong low on the hip and opt for floral patterns. Accessorize it with a large, trendy bag or a pair of cool sandals. Just remember, your overall look should make you feel comfortable and sexy.

A well designed and cut swim suit flatters all female forms because it shows off curves rather than flesh. There is no such thing as a typical female body apart from certain anatomical parts but these parts come in all shapes and sizes. When a woman wears a swim suit she is exposing a large quantity of flesh open to public viewing so she needs to be very comfortable in what she wears to do this with grace and dignity. A mature woman wearing well designed bathers that flatter her body build is ageless.
