Most of us have a hard time picking out the perfect swim suit. It is easiest to see all of your flaws when wearing less and especially in the bright lights of the store. However, it doesn't have to be a nightmare and you can find the one that fits you, makes you look great, and works with all of your best features.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Pen and Paper.
  • Internet Connection.
  • Shopping Time.
  1. Step 1

    Sit down with a pen and paper. During this time identify your best body features as well as your worse ones. You are going to find a suit that accents the good things and hides the bad things.

  2. Step 2

    Do your research. Get online and find out what body shape and size you are and the things that will help with your features the most.

  3. Step 3

    Go shopping! Pick out a few different options. Try them on in your size as well as one size bigger then you normally wear since suits often run a little small.

  4. Step 4

    Try them on and look at yourself, but remember that the harsh store light is going to emphasize everything more then the natural sunlight at the beach or pool. Be forgiving and don't get discouraged.

  5. Step 5

    Pick out the few that you like best and write them down.

  6. Step 6

    Check out other stores. You don't have to have a suit in the first five minutes you go looking. In fact, if you find the perfect suit you can wear it for years to come. So, with that in mind, take your time.

  7. Step 7

    Usually you will find that one suit that you love. If not, then go back through your top picks to find the one that looks great and feels great too.

  8. Step 8

    If shopping online make sure that you can return the suit if it doesn't fit well. This will let you pick out the one that you like, but return it if it doesn't fit your needs.

Tips & Warnings
  • Be patient.
  • Don't forget to be forgiving in the store lights.
  • Shop according to your body size and shape as well as your assets and your flaws!
