I love the female empowerment theme of 2018 and the fact that women are pushing back against cultural expectations to be body shamed into crash dieting their way into summer. Yes, we all want to look and feel our best, but everyone is beautiful in their own unique way. A healthy, confident, and happy woman is by far the most beautiful. With so many wonderful different body shapes and sizes, there certainly isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach to swimsuit styles. Despite how fabulous we know we are, we will all sometimes have insecure days. Read on to discover the swimsuit styles to flatter your body type.
Beach SOS: Swimsuit Styles to Flatter Your Body Shape
Large chested: Underwired swimwear is your beach BFF to keep the ladies in position. Thicker straps offer the most flattering finish and comfort.
Small chested: Opt for ruffles or embellishments to even out your chest with your hips.
Broad shoulders: Solid colors with printed side panels help accentuate an hourglass shape while evening out the shoulders. Asymmetrical necklines possess a gift for drawing the eye up and away from the shoulders.
Flat or small bottom: Frills and ruffles are your best friend. Bright colors are flattering, as are Brazilian styles to show a little cheek for the most complimentary look.
Big bottom: Skimpy cuts are likely uncomfortable and may show a little more than you’re comfortable with. Solid bottoms and printed tops help balance your chest and hips.
Athletic shape: Bright prints, ruffles, frills, and padding are a great way to show off your athletic shape with a little extra girlie oomph.
Bigger tummies: High-waisted bottoms over the belly button are so flattering. Peplums are fantastic to hide bloating and tummy pouches.
Short legs: High cuts elongate the legs and look fabulous on your shape.
