Bathing Suits

Hey,


So since I am in Hawaii, everyone has their own unique swimwear. Personally, Victoria Secret has the best bathing suits for women. Even if you have to buy them online, like me, and you can't try them on and decide, I promise you that you will love them.

  1. Bandeau's: If you are getting a bandeau just for sun tanning, than it is fine if the bathing suit doesn't come with a strap to go around your neck. I f you like to swim, than make sure you get that so you don't "show some skin".
  • Curves?: To accentuate curves in a boy shape, look for a swimsuit with a high cut leg and a low, curve-enhancing neckline. Try to find a suit that gathers around the neckline; these gathers will make a boy shape seem much curvier. You will want to avoid dark-colored, tank-style swimsuits that draw attention away from the shape of your body.
  • Short Torso?: Women with short torsos can often appear stocky in the wrong type of swimsuit. To lengthen the torso and give the impression of length and litheness, try a bikini with a halter-style top to draw attention to the bust and shoulders. You will want to pair this top with a bikini bottom that sits low on the hips to expose as much skin as possible in the torso. Conversely, if you want to de-emphasize a long torso, try a suit with a high-cut leg. Bottoms with high-cut legs tend to lengthen the legs while bottoms that sit lower on the hips tend to lengthen the torso.
  • Plus Size?: If you have a lot of curves and you want to show them off, look for a fitted, waist-defining swimsuit that will accentuate your hour-glass figure. Try a swimsuit with a high percentage of Lycra or spandex that will provide enough stretch to smooth out any bulges. Also, choose a swimsuit with a high cut leg to accentuate the natural curves of your hips. Our suggestion for plus sizes is a long tankini top in a bright color paired with a more subdued bottom with a high cut leg.
