Suits.Shapes.Sizes.

Summer is fast approaching! (You know what that means....) BATHING SUIT SEASON. If any of you are like me, your cringing at the thought of that. Or, your spending your days at the gym! I'm going to share a few tips with you that might make this experience not so bad for you!

First. The secret is, not to get too small, or too big of a suit. Sometimes, you might have to go up a size. Bathing suits fit so much differently than other garments. You don't want the suit squeezing you in the wrong places, but you also can't be running around with one that's sagging on your body!

Look for something that flatters your frame. Ask for a second opinion when you're trying different things on. (Second opinions are very helpful!)

You need to be familiar with the different types of suits that are available..Tankinis- Obviously swim wear that is a tank top fit, that covers most, if not the entire stomache area. Swimwear with skirts - This will give more coverage for the bottom half of the body. Shortinis- a bathing suit that have shorts for the bottom. Lastly, bathing suits with blouson tops or one-piece bathing suits.

Suits that have a larger neckline or V-neck, adds emphasis on other areas and tend to give the body a more slimming effect. (PERFECT!)

If you are plus-size.. go with something cute that has underwire in the top (for support). Perhaps a cute floral or animal print, or a more rich color of suit!

Lastly, bunching fabric, bows, etc can do wonderful things! Don't forget a cute cover-up too!

Happy Weekend! xoxo-
