Are you frustrated with trying on clothes that look cute on the hanger, cute on the mannequin, but HORRIBLE once you put it on yourself?! We all have those issues, it’s not just you!
While the obsolete body classifications disappoint us all the time, they turn out to be considerably all the more irritating while finding a cute bathing suit that only fits, but flatters at best. An undertaking that is sufficiently troublesome without us figuring out if indeed we're banana-molded, or not.
So, as design editors, if we can’t interpret our "body shapes" we figured the greater part of the female populace must have an indistinguishable issue with this as well. To help you out, here it is. A size manual for bathing suit style shopping for the average female looking for attitude and confidence while strutting whatever body shape she may be. Regardless of whether you need to hide cellulite, cover up back fat or give enough help to the young ladies up top, we have the perfect suit for you.
Observe, below, a definitive manual for bathing suit shopping for proper attitude, style and fit.
FLAT CHEST
Finding a suit that compliments your bust can be a test. The best wager for a lady with a smaller chest is to run for a best with embellishments, patterns or ruffles for a more flattering fit and the illusion of a full and enhanced chest. In addition, shop fitted push- up bathing suits with padding or an athletic “squeeze” for further support and shape. Ultimately, these styles are your best bet if you’re looking for a little something extra for the girls up top!
BIG BUST - BIKINIS FOR A LARGE CHEST
For you girls (with bigger girls), an athletic tight squeeze top and/ or string bikini with little support may not be so much of your friend. Stick with suits that have thick straps and underwire support, usually sold by your cup size, not by S, M and L. Look for suits with thick material and double banded support for strapless tops, and be sure it is tight and compressed to be sure your girls don’t go running loose for your first dip in the pool! Proper fit is important. Get measured to find your correct bust and cup size for the perfectly fitted suit.
BROAD SHOULDERS
There are a couple sneaky tricks you can do to offset your body when you have the arrangement of wide or expansive shoulders. If we’re talking colors, strong hued solid suit colors with less print are always a good option for this body type. Now, if you can find a hued solid suit with printed pattern down the edges, even better! Adding in the bordered pattern down the sides will help create the illusion of an hourglass body shape and level out the boxy upper body and give it an equalized look. This method will create texture and style while still keeping it simple. Another trick, purchase halter bikinis with thin straps (if your chest size allows) or shop bikinis with an offset neckline or one shoulder fit. Asymmetrical tops will draw attention up & away rather than straight across your upper body and prove to be appealing and comfortable, for all parties involved!
FLAT BOOTY
This is another example in which ruffles, patterns and revealing straps ARE your friend! If you have a flatter tush, opt for bikini bottoms that will accentuate and enhance your small flat figure with their patterns and designs. Strappy bikinis that show skin on the sides and cover a bit more booty are favored, but a bit cheeky never hurts! Solid colors look best, but subtle prints can also be cute! A bikini bottom with ties on both side can be very helpful to you flat booty gals that can’t seem to keep your bottoms UP and in place. Check out the latest styles we have picked for you.
BIG BOOTY
To balance a bigger booty while basking on a beach often times string bikinis and high cut swimsuits can be a bit uncomfortable and a bit too revealing. A new trend, and flattering look, for girls that rock the bigger booty is a cheeky one- piece swimsuits that hugs you in the right places to accentuate your girls, yet show a little cheek. Another common trend you will see on the beach in Summer 2018 is high waisted bottoms that cover a bit more, but are stylish and sexy with straps, colors and prints.
ATHLETIC BODY
While bikini shopping for a fit and straight cut body, the goal here is to shop swimsuits that give you the illusion of more curves! This is easily done by scouting out the bikinis and one- piece swimwear pieces that have an athletic fit, with padding is best, that accentuate your lines. Strappy bikinis may not always be your friend, nor will ruffles and heavy print, but solid colored suits with patterns and designs will flatter you well! High- rise (high cut) bottoms are best to elongate legs and show off your figure, while high waisted are also good for a slimming fit when paired with a minimal coverage top.
MUFFIN TOP
Oh, how we love to hate on our muffin tops and the little bit of extra “cushion” around the waist. Well, if this is you— you’re in luck! High waisted bikinis and sexy one- pieces are back on the block and trending hot for summer 2018. To best hide the muffin top, opt for solid colored suits that don’t have any sort of side slit or straps, and be sure the fit is right! These suits can be extremely flattering to transform those areas of jiggle into nice and defined curves instead. 
SHORT TORSO
The trick to elongating a short torso is to add lift and length to the bust, while revealing and plunging below the waist. Look for tops with padded or wire support that stay in place while lifting and shaping. Look for bottoms that plunge with a “V” and are slim fit, little coverage and/ or strappy on the sides. Halter tops can also be your friend to accentuate collarbones and draw attention to your neck and shoulders, taking attention away from your mid- drift region.
BACK FLAB
If you are insecure of bulging from the back of your suit, and even worse not being able to see it yourself, we have just the bikini styles for you. Sporty bikinis with thick straps and double layered fabric are the best types to keep you all tucked in. Shop suits that are open- backs or avoid thin and tight straps, making you bulge. Halter straps or strapless are best, they can be found in both one pieces and bikinis! Basically, avoid anything is tight in the armpit region, bust, and neckline to drop your worries and strut your stuff!
TUMMY POOCH
Hiding the belly pooch and little bit of extra cushion in the belly area is actually much easier than you would think! Transform those areas of insecurity into sexy and flirtatious curves by shopping suits with low plunging V- lines and / or a high waisted fit. These suits reveal less of the midline, but reveal more skin in the neck, shoulders and leg area drawing attention away from the center. Focus on solid colored suits and avoid bottoms that are low- rise and plunging.
