How to choose a 1-piece swimsuit

No need to wear an itty-bitty bikini to look your best at the beach or the neighborhood pool. You only need a well-fitted swimsuit that shapes your body nicely and a respectable amount of confidence, and you will command all eyes!

One-piece swimsuits are anything but boring. They can be just as tantalizing as the tw0-piece versions but with a lot more coverage and real elegance added. Here is a quick guide to finding the perfect one-piece swimsuit for you:


If You Are Petite

Tiny ladies have a short torso. This means that most swimming suits bunch up around the waist and don’t fit like they should. Try on a Tankini instead. Not only will this fit you nicely, but it will also show off your figure without baring your tummy area.


Hide the Flab

Opt for bathing suits with ruching at the stomach area. This will not only help you cut a leaner, slimmer figure but also camouflage any unsightly flab. Dark, neutral colors are your friends; try swimming costumes in black, navy blue, dark green and chocolate colors.

Apple Shaped Ladies

Apple shaped ladies have a more outstanding chest and mid-riff area and are in need of swimsuits that draw attention away from these parts. V-neck suits will help you draw attention to the chest while down-playing the perpetual trouble zone, the stomach! Same goes for empire waist styles that make the middle seem smaller and keeps the attention situated slightly above it.

Pear Shaped Pretties

If much of your weight is carried at your hips, divert attention away from your butt, hips and thighs by choosing suits with round necklines or completely strapless ones that make your shoulders and neck area the main attraction. Go for minimum detailing around the bottom.
