Wearing a Bathing Suit is No More Intimidating!

We know that wearing a swimsuit can be daunting for many women. Shopping, especially for designer swimming suits can be frustrating because not all of them are designed for everybody. So we’ve put together a list of useful tips to help you find beachwear that is flattering, stylish, and will make you look gorgeous (and thinner, even if you haven’t lost those extra pounds you’ve been trying hard to get rid of!)

10 Tips to Look Thinner in Your Bathing Suit Even Without Losing Those Extra Pounds

1. Watch What You Wear

Everyone has a different body type and have features that we are not so thrilled about. Choose flattering pieces that accentuate what according to you are your best features. Before you look for a swim suits store, make sure you know what looks best on you.

Swimwear Tip: Try putting on shapewear that can make you look thinner and beautiful.

2. Choose Dark Colors

Dark shades have a slimming effect, especially black and navy blue hues are perfect if you’re looking to hide a few pounds. To spice up things, look for fashion-forward silhouettes and styles.

Swimwear Tip: Look for pieces that have cut-outs which can add a hint of sexiness to your ensemble.

3. Opt for Cover Ups and Wraps

Get a stylish cover up and a wrap that compliments your beachwear. They give an appearance of a casual yet sexy style and are far more slimming when compared to wearing an old t-shirt or a beach towel wrapped around the waist.

Swimwear Tip: Pick cover ups that are breezy and lightweight.

4. Go For Ruffles, Color Blocking, and Bright Solids

These can draw the eye exactly where you want and are perfect for taking away attention from your not-so-good features. Moreover, strategically placed ruffles and nets can make it look like you have a bigger bust, drawing the eye up and away from less flattering areas.

5. Pick Either Splashy Prints or Small Patterns

Simple, big prints tend to make you appear big as well. So either opt for vibrant prints or try smaller patterns such as polka dots that have a fun vibe and can make you appear thinner effortlessly.

Swimwear Tip: Both don’t work together, so pick your beachwear accordingly.

6. Stripes Work Too

The best thing about stripes or zig-zags is that they create an illusion and can mask the problem areas that you don't wish to highlight. You can also use these prints to mix and match swim separates.

Swimwear Tip: Try pairing a solid bikini bottom with a striped top or vice versa to enhance the outlook.

7. Be Bold, Choose Plunging Neck Lines

If you wish to show off a little skin without wearing a two-piece bikini, opt for bodysuits that have a flattering fit and a plunging neckline. It is every bit as sexy as a bikini and comes with the added advantage of making you feel comfortable.

8. Ruched Fabric Works Perfectly

If you want to mask problem areas, ruched material can help streamline your silhouette. It gives the appearance of a slimmer waist and torso.

9. Wear Your Hair Up

Wearing your hair up makes you look leaner and gives an overall slimming effect. You could just put them into an easy bun.

4. Wear a Hat

Wearing a hat is an effortless way to take attention away from any insecurities that you may have about your body. Besides, it can protect your skin and is an amazing fashion accessory that allows you to flaunt your style.
