Choosing the Perfect Swimwear!

$213 Swimwearboutique

Swimwear – the most indispensable piece of our summer closet. They exist in thousands of colors and shapes, but the most important is to find a swimwear that suits us and makes us feel comfortable in it.

This season, too, all fashion designers “voted for” the one-piece swimsuits – either with strict lines or more revealing – that look almost like bikinis. And for once more, they managed to make us feel anxious because of our “imperfect” human bodies. But how can we wear them since we don’t have perfect proportions?

Yet, there are some secrets and tips that can help us all with choosing the appropriate swimsuit. The most basic rule is to keep a good balance on our body. Especially, when it comes to swimwear, since our body is almost completely uncovered.

Before buying your new swimwear, have a meeting with yourself in front of a mirror. Find your weak and strong points. If you are perfect, congratulations! You can buy anything you like. If not, just follow the tips below.

If you have a big breast, avoid swimsuit that follow the usual lines of a bra. It’s a mistake because when the cloth embraces the breast it seems very big and, consequently, your breast seems even bigger! And here comes the “balance” we mentioned before. You should buy a bikini with a triangle bra or a strapless with a string at the middle or at the rear.

If you have a few more kilos at your belly, but you have slim legs, wear a one-piece swimwear with “clever cuts” on the belly. Choose a swimwear that will leave half of the belly and the waist exposed, in a half-moon shape, or a one-piece swimwear with a thin stripe of cloth that starts from the bra and ends up on the bottom, while it gets narrower at the height of your bellybutton. This cut gives the impression that your waist is thinner.

If you think that your buttocks are not the best part on your body, choose a bikini with a brazilian cut. Wear them as low as possible and let the swimwear somehow reveal “yourself”. By lowering the shorts and revealing your buttocks, you make them seem smaller, more round and more firm than they are.

To sum up: show your strong points and hide the weaker ones by creating an optical balance on your body.

Dos and Don’ts!
