How to Choose the Right Color Bathing Suit

The choices for a bathing are vast. They come in one piece, two piece, tankini sets, mix and match and within these categories there are a rainbow of colors and styles to choose from. Color may not be the first thing a woman thinks of when shopping for a bathing suit, but it should be up there on the list.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Minimize with black. If you have a bulge or two that you wish to cover up, black is classically the best color to minimize the larger parts of your body.

2. Add emphasis with color. If you wish to make it look like your breasts are bigger than they are, or if you wish to emphasize a certain part of your body, use bright flashy colors. A top with bright colors will add the illusion of a larger cup size, or it can be used to plump up a skimpy rump.

3. Conceal large breasts with light colors. Choose pastels or creamy colors for a larger chest. These colors will help de-emphasize larger cup sizes, but be sure that every top you buy has enough support to prevent them from sagging.

4. Go for bright colored, vertical stripes. Bright vertical stripes will help lengthen shorter frames. If you wish to lengthen your legs, try bright stripes on the bottom and pick a bright print on top.

5. Choose dark blocks of color for a slimming one piece bathing suit. When you don't feel comfortable in a bikini, and wish to slim down your look in a one piece, go for dark blocks or patches of color. These will help draw they eye to the colors and not the bulges.
