How to choose your plus size swimsuit?
To choose the right plus size swimsuit, several criteria must be taken into consideration, but you must also learn to highlight your assets.
The first thing you should do before setting out to find the perfect plus size swimsuit is to make sure you know your swimsuit size.
If not, or if you are unsure, take your measurements or try several sizes.
This will allow you to have a swimsuit that is perfectly adjusted to your figure.
Then, your choice will depend on the type of activities you like to practice.
If you're more of an all-day tan or more of a surf person, your needs won't be the same.
On the other hand, several criteria must be taken into account when choosing the right size swimsuit:
breast support;
the shape of the neckline, the V is ideal;
the sheathing effect or not;
color, dark colors are preferred.
In addition, it is recommended to opt for a swimsuit specifically designed for large sizes.
Indeed, the shape of the swimsuit, the materials used, the type of straps, are all elements studied to meet the specific needs of women with generous shapes.
By choosing a plus size swimsuit, you are ensuring that you have a swimsuit that adapts to your body.
Another criterion that can be taken into account when choosing a plus size swimsuit is eco-responsibility.
There are more and more ethical models that respect the environment.
How to highlight your strengths in a swimsuit?
The objective when you choose your plus size swimsuit is twofold: comfort, and highlighting your assets.
It's entirely possible whether you prefer one-piece or two-piece swimsuits.
With a 1 piece swimsuit
The one-piece swimsuit is often chosen by women wearing large sizes, because it offers a greater sculpting effect.
Here are some tips for choosing it well according to the parts of your body that you want to highlight.
Thus, to emphasize your chest, you can opt for a plunging neckline or a basket model.
If you want to emphasize your pretty marked waist, a belted swimsuit is the most beautiful effect.
Prefer to show off your shoulders?
Then a strapless model should please you.
Finally, if your goal is to give the impression of having long legs, opt for a one-piece swimsuit with a high cut at the hips.
With a 2-piece swimsuit
For those who love two-piece swimsuits, there is no shortage of large size models.
For the top, choose a model that offers good support according to the size of your chest.
If you have a generous chest, a model with an underwire or a support band is preferable.
If, on the contrary, you have a small chest, you can turn to a push up model or a bikini top.
For the bottom, it all depends on your desires.
If you are looking for a sheathing effect, high-waisted briefs will be your best ally.
Likewise, if you want to cover your buttocks, you can choose a shorty.
Be careful though, it can tend to thicken the hips.
And if you want to reveal more of your body, you can wear a tanga or a bathing thong.
One of the main complexes of women is their belly.
If this is your case, and you want to hide it with your swimsuit, know that it is quite possible.
For this, you can buy a one-piece swimsuit or high-waisted swimsuit bottoms with a shaping effect.
There are also sculpting swimsuits that allow you to completely redraw the silhouette for a slimming effect.
