If you’re curvy, writing this article probably seems like a lot of work. You get it. You’ve been in the same boat before. But trust them when they say that with the tips below, finding swimsuits for curvy women that fit and look flattering will be as easy as walking into your closet and grabbing a pair of pants!
High-Waisted Bottoms
When you’re shopping for bottoms, high-waisted ones are your friend. They’ll make your figure look more balanced, which is especially important if you have a long torso or broad shoulders. High-waisted bottoms can also give the illusion of smaller hips and a tighter waistline.
Colourful Patterns
You’ve probably heard that colour makes a person look thinner, but what does this mean? Colourful patterns are more flattering than solid colours because they can make you look taller and leaner.
In addition, colourful patterns are more forgiving of imperfections like bulges or flabby arms. And finally, bright clothing can make you feel more energetic and positive about yourself—which is the ultimate goal of looking good!
One Piece Suits
One-piece suits are the perfect option for curvy girls who want to look slim and elegant. One pieces suits are a complete outfit, so they won’t leave you feeling exposed or uncomfortable. They can be worn with a cover-up and/or skirt, belt or scarf to create an outfit that you feel comfortable in.
Halter Top
There are a number of advantages to wearing a halter top. First, they offer more coverage than other tops and can be worn with or without a bathing suit or tank top underneath. Second, they’re flattering for all body types, especially those with larger busts.
Thirdly, if you enjoy swimming or tanning at the pool this summer, they’re a great choice because they offer more coverage than normal swimwear while still allowing you to get some sun on your shoulders and upper arms if desired!
Underwire Tops
Underwire tops are a great option for curvy girls with larger busts. This style of bra is both supportive and flattering, as it shapes your body to look its best while still offering the support needed. Underwire tops are also great for smaller-busted women, as they provide lift at the front of the bra to draw attention away from any sagging or drooping that can occur with age.
Avoid “Bra-Sized” Swimwear
If you’ve ever been to a swimwear section in a department store or at least searched for one online, you’ll know that bra-sized swimsuits are so ubiquitous it’s hard to avoid them. The trouble with “bra-sized” swimwear is it’s not made for curvy women. Bra sizes are determined by measuring your bust across the fullest part of your chest and then determining what size bra you wear based on those measurements.
But when it comes time to find a suit that fits your body type—which can be anything from pear-shaped to an hourglass—it doesn’t make sense to try and fit yourself into one of these limited categories.
If you’re looking for a swimsuit that will make you feel confident, there are so many options out there. You don’t have to settle for something that doesn’t fit—or worse, makes you look frumpy or matronly!
