How to Find the Right Bathing Suit for Your Body Type

Isn't Spring frustrating? Just as all of the food and alcohol we consumed during the holidays has bumped us up a size or two, its time to find a swim suit. This article will help you find a swim suit for your body type.

Instructions

1. Accentuate the positive. Stand in front of a mirror and decide which parts of your body you are happy with. Is it your belly? Your bust line? Your butt? What ever it may be, choose a bathing suite that will accentuate this areas . If you have great abs, the bathing suit cut is obvious; wear a bikini.

2. Eliminate the negative. At least minimize the negative. It's all about illusion at this point. Make short legs appear longer by wearing a higher cut suit. Make your breasts appear bigger with a ruffle top. Large breasted women should avoid triangle cut bikini tops, in favor of a halter with under-wire.

3. One piece or two piece. A one piece bathing suite does not have to be matronly. A sexy one piece is an excellent choice for women who would like to minimize their midriff. If you have a nice back, and would like to show it off while accenting your booty, try a one peace wrap. This type of suite looks like a bikini from behind because it ties at the neck and the hips.

4. Choose color wisely. Now that you have identified your best and worst assets, it's time to choose color. Draw attention to your assets by covering them in brighter colors, or bolder patterns. Minimize your problem areas by covering them with darker colors. Go pattern free here if you can, if you can't, choose a pattern that is slight, so that you don't look gift wrapped.

Tips & Warnings

• When you judge yourself against society standards, or against other women, remember that there is someone out there who desires to have a few of your assets!
