Swimming Costumes: Swimwear That Make You Look Slimmer
In the spirit of political correctness, feminism and all that malarkey, I should shout, do not worry if you look like a beached whale whilst sunning yourself on the beach, beauty lies within!, but in the spirit of reality, I will conspiratorially whisper, you can choose swimwear which makes surprisingly dramatic differences.
It's all about the optical illusion. Nobody really believes that a
magician can saw a girl in half, but we have to admit the illusion is
pretty convincing. The same applies to swimwear, it's all about optical
illusions, distracting the eye and creating balance.
Of course, no swimsuit can make you appear a 'perfect 10' if you're
really a size 18, but choosing a cozzie which flatters a figure's fine
points, rather than underscoring its flaws really does make a
difference. When it really comes down to it, it truly isn't about size
anyway; it's all about shape, and the first thing you have to do is
define the parts of your body which make you cringe.
Then you can work the magic...- Women with pear-shaped figures, carrying all their weight on their
bottom half should draw more attention to their tops. Choose cozzies and
bikinis with a solid-coloured bottom half and a printed or patterned
top half. A darkly-coloured long sarong, tied around the waist will also
make your legs look longer and slimmer.
- Women, who are top-heavy, can draw more attention to their bottom
halves by choosing belted bikini bottoms, or a swimsuit with a pattern
in the hip area. Halter-neck bikini tops and sarongs are also excellent a
breaking up an expansive bust and wide shoulders.
- Straight figures become much shapelier in a cozzie with detailed or ruched busts and hips, with a plain middle.
- Flabby stomachs are now easily hidden with one of the many shaping
suits available. Tankinis are the most flattering, or a one-piece
featuring a thick band of solid colour around the waist and ruching or
pleating down to the hips.
Don't let your fears about your figure have you cowering away, covered
up in the shade somewhere. Try on and experiment with as many different
styles as possible, and play up your strengths. Most importantly, feel
good about yourself because a happy and confident smile is the most
effective thing you can do to attract attention away from all your lumps
and bumps.
