Shopping for Lady Swimwear
Contrary to popular notion, any girl can look good in a swimwear. A bathing suit comes in varying styles, patterns, fabrics, and colours. You should consider these elements when shopping for a bathing suit. If you have smaller chest, get a bathing suit that has stripe or floral patterns with padding or push-up for that extra lift. If you have a larger bust, go for halter tops because they provide extra support and let you show off your shoulders. You may also wear spaghetti tops that accent your chest and shoulders. If you have a curvy middle area, get a one-piece swimsuit, which ruffles around the stomach for a slimming effect. Avoid low-rise bottoms if you have love handles. Wear mid-rise bikinis, instead, to draw attention to your legs. If you have larger bottoms, avoid swimwear with patterns; dark-coloured bottoms, which are low-rise and high-leg cut are perfect for you. Freely match the dark bottom with a fancy top. For those with athletic bodies, get a bathing suit that gives an illusion of curves such as bottoms with wide waist bands and wide shoulder straps.
You may want to know about the jargons related to female swimwear. A bandeau bikini is a strapless bikini top that ties in the back. A bralette has adjustable straps going over the shoulders. Boy shorts are like boy’s briefs, covering up the back area. A halter top has straps tied behind the neck and in the mid-back. A hipster bottom cuts straight along the hips. A low-rise bottom sits right below the hip bone. A monokini suit has its top and bottom connected, while showing off the sides. A tankini is a bathing suit with a tank top and a bikini bottom. A swim dress is a one-piece suit with a mid-thigh length skirt.
