Plus Size Bikini - 3 Tips For Picking the Best Swimsuit

Worried that wearing a plus size bikini will make you look silly? There is absolutely no reason for you to not wear a great fitting bikini at the pool or the beach! Many plus size bikinis come in many flattering styles, shapes, and even help camouflage areas of your body that you may want to keep a little under cover.

Stop being afraid, and start strutting your stuff. Here are three tips for picking the right one for you today.

1) Emphasize Your Best Assets

This may not mean what you may be thinking. Maybe your legs are you favorite part of your body. If so, there are bikini styles out there that have a higher cut on them that will really show off your legs and draw attention to them.

If your chest is your favorite part, then a well fitted plus size bikini top is in store for you. And do not forget you can utilize different cover ups for your mid section and chest that do not attract attention.

2) Optimize Designs & Accessories of Your Bikini

There are certain style prints that will help draw the eye to and from certain parts of your body. Smaller print patterns tend to over emphasize the size and shape of the area it is covering. It is better to go for something with a larger stripe, or larger design on the bikini top or bottom. These tend to work better with the body in keeping things in proportion.

Using a wrap cover for the bottom portion of your bikini will allow you to cover up your upper thigh area, if that is a concern for you, and of course, using a strappy top can do wonders if bust size or mid section is the area you want to conceal a little harder than your legs.

3) Size Does Not Matter

Avoid the common mistake many women make when looking for plus size bikinis: buying the same size as their normal clothes. Almost all swimwear, for whatever reason, run very small. If you are normally a size 12, then you will very likely need a size 14 or 16 for your bikini.

These tips are hopefully helpful for you in your quest to find the right style swimsuit for you to wear to the beach or to the pool. There are many wonderful fitting designs for the plus sized woman, and they can really make you feel great about yourself in the process.
