Summer is in. And with it, has come a perfect opportunity to sport your tan. So what can be a better way of doing it than wearing a perfect swim suit that accentuates your beauty, just too well?? But how many of us really know the brass tacks of how to buy a perfect swim suit?? These decisions have to be judicious, lest we are likely to fall in a pit and cause ourselves embarrassment unbound!
So here are some tips to help you pick a swimsuit that’s not only makes you look good but is also comfortable:
The Styles:
The first thing that needs to be kept in mind is your frame. If you are skinny and lean, you can even flaunt a two-piece with ease. On the contrary, if you do have some extra flesh, a one-piece bikini is what will go perfectly for you. If you are somewhere in between and have little flab around the waist, a tankini might be a better choice for you as it covers the tummy area and can be pulled up when laying in the sun. Besides, plunging necklines, halter-neck swimsuits, surplice styles, tank suits and bandeau bikinis are among other styles available. Bikini Separates have taken over as most women have different size tops and bottoms. For additional style and fun on the beach, or lunch at pool side don’t forget your cover-ups.
Colors and Prints!
There is no limit to the diversity of colors and prints available in the market, meant to lure you. However, trying them before you buy them is recommended as a print may not look very attractive on the counter but it may suit your skin. If your mid-rift area is what you are concerned about then choose vertical strips as they make you look taller and leaner. On the other hand, horizontal lines are likely to make you look wider than normal. Plus size women should also choose smaller design patterns.
Quality of the fabric!
You may compromise on the color or the print but quality of the fabric is what you can’t afford to compromise. Since swimsuits tend to stretch a lot, materials having higher degree of nylon and spandex make for the best choices. If you are fashion savvy and intend to make a strong personal statement through it, you could always go for branded pieces. Some of the most popular swim wear brands are Anne Cole, DNKY, Calvin Klein, Gottex, La Blanca and Roxanne.
Whether you are a regular swimmer or just a one-day amateur, swimsuits are an as important a part of your wardrobe as are your other ensembles. Each swim wear is a key piece added to your wardrobe and if taken proper care, is likely to stay for many years.
