I don’t know about you but I love summer. I enjoy being out in the heat rather than the cold. I love being able to dive into a pool and swim. Going swimming on a hot day feels refreshing plus it’s also a great way to lose weight. However, one thing that I sometimes have a hard time with doing is finding the perfect swimsuit for summer. Did you find yourself in that same boat this year? Did you spend hours looking and maybe didn’t find one that you like? Maybe there’s also a summer beach party coming up and you know that you must find one soon. Picking out swimsuits can be almost worse than having to buy a pair of jeans. Often times you know what brand of jeans you like, size and color. Within minutes you leave the store happy with your new pair of jeans. This is not the case for picking out a swimsuit.
If you’re having problems with picking out the perfect swimsuit for summer then hopefully these 10 Tips For Picking Out A Perfect Swimsuit will help you.
10. First, know that it is possible
I don’t know about you but sometimes when I’m shopping I feel sometimes as if I will never find what I need. I start to give up. You might find yourself becoming disheartened and frustrated. When this happens you’ll never find what you need. Instead, try and think positive about it. See yourself in a swimsuit that you love. Don’t give up. It doesn’t matter if it takes hours to find the one you love. You’ll at least go home with a swimsuit that you appreciate instead of one you don’t like.
9. Don’t be afraid to ask for help from the experts
Asking your friends or family for help is one thing. However, sometimes we all know that they might not give you the best advice. First, listen to what they say. After they talk to you talk with the expert and get their opinion. Know that you might not agree with the expert but still listen to what the expert is saying. Be honest with them. By expert, I mean one of the professional assistance’s at the store.
8. Think very carefully and try it on regardless of what you think
Sometimes I look at something and think that’s exactly what I want. I don’t even bother trying it on because I think it’ll look great. When I finally put it on and look in the mirror I see it looks horrible on me. The style is all wrong or might even notice a rip or something wrong with the swimsuit that I didn’t see before. When you try it on at the store think very carefully first before you decide to buy it. Turn around and see if it looks good from not only in front but from also behind. Spend a few minutes thinking about it before you decide that’s the one.
7. Stick with the size you know that fits you
I know it’s tempting to try and get a size smaller. You want to show off that skin at the pool right? However, what you might not know is the way it looks on you. People might end up seeing your belly fat more and it could be very uncomfortable to swim in when you’re in a size that doesn’t fit you properly. Being in a size that’s too big can also cause almost the same kind of effect in a different way. This is why you want to stick with the size that’s best for you.
6. Choose a lightweight shirt that’s button up and oversized
You do have to be careful with making sure that what you wear is the right size but one thing that I want to make clear is that the lightweight shirt that you wear over your swimsuit can be oversized. In fact, I recommend that it is oversized. The reason why is that the shirt helps with contrasting the tightness that your swimsuit might be showing. It also helps with the eyes being drawn upwards instead of to the side. The oversized shirt might be your solution if you do end up with having a swimsuit you don’t like.
5. Pick out swimsuits that contrast panels and colors
When picking out a swimsuit review the color of it carefully. A dark swimsuit can reveal areas bigger but a light swimsuit helps with highlighting the assets that look really good on you. Wearing lighter colors during summer also in general just feels better compared to wearing dark colors.
Then again, maybe some can wear dark swimsuits and look hot regardless.
4. Look at your butt area and pick out a swimsuit that’s not skimpy looking
Many make the mistake of forgetting to look at their butt before throwing the swimsuit in the cart. Always look at your butt area before you decide to pick out the swimsuit. If you decide to go with a narrow cut make sure it’s not skimpy looking. Sometimes wearing extra fabric can also help but at the same time, it can make you look bigger depending on your body shape.
3. Don’t be afraid of wearing a swim dress swimsuit
Swimsuit dresses right now are currently in fashion. They help with giving your body more of a flare and fit compared to bikinis and other swimsuits. Swimsuits help with elongating the body instead of cutting off the body. They also can flare over your hip and they can skim your thighs. When in doubt, pick out the swimsuit dress.
2. A one piece swimsuit helps to hide the tummy
Looking for a way to hide your tummy but might not want to wear a swimsuit dress? You’ll find that wearing a full piece helps with concealing your tummy. Look into swimsuits that might have a neckline that plunges more so that way it won’t focus on the mid-section but rather help with people looking upwards.
1. Vertical line swimsuits help with drawing the eyes
Perhaps one of the best kept secrets is the fact that vertical line swimsuits help with drawing the eyes upwards instead of looking from side to side. I recommend a light colored swimsuit that has vertical lines with an oversized buttoned shirt. If you’re in doubt of your body type be sure that you find out before you pick out your swimsuit.
Conclusion
Have fun in the sun but remember your sun block!
