Choosing The Right Summer Swimwear


Summer is here and we have to do our best to look good even if the sun is doing its best to warm up the weather. However, choosing the right swimwear is not all about picking up items from the rack that is labeled "newest and hottest". To look good, you should choose the swimwear that would flatter your body properly and make you look like a sun goddess while playing at the beach. Choosing the latest fashion designs are not always a good practice because it can't be helped if the "in" thing will not suit you. Here are a few tips that can help you decide which summer swimwear would be best for you.

Consider Your Size and Complexion
Swimwear is meant to fit snugly on your body, so you have to consider your size and body frame when choosing swimwear items. If you have a bit of flab here and there or admittedly plump, choose a one-piece swimsuit with a dark color such as brown or navy blue. One-piece swimsuits will help you conceal those revealing love handles and the dark color will make an illusion of you being a bit slim. For thin frames that lack the right curves, you can do well with two-piece swimsuits in vibrant colors. Opt for bright red and yellow because these colors help create an illusion of well-endowment in all the right places.

However, mind your complexion when choosing your colors too. You now know which colors fit a plump body and a thin frame, but be mindful enough to choose a color that follows those guidelines AND suits your complexion too. Example: A dark green one-piece will not suit a plump body with dark skin (unless you intend to look like an elf or green pea!).

Mix and Match
You don't always have to buy swimwear every summer. What you can do is mix and match summer swimwear items that you already have. For instance, if you have a 3 year-old hot pink 2-piece that suits you nicely but you're getting tired of it, pair it up with high-cut denim shorts. Or, you can wear a see-through black dress over it and saunter along the beach and impress all those lookers out there. You don't need to wear brand new items all the time to look good. You just have to know what makes you look good and improvise with old clothes if you are on a tight budget.

Your Skin as Part of Your Outfit
Of course, going out and enjoying your swimming sessions can heavily damage your skin. No matter how gorgeous your swimwear is, the effect will be lost if you have dry, severely sunburned, and scaling skin. Protect your skin by wearing sunscreen all the time. You can find some sunscreens with body shimmers that can help you look even better when you're wearing your hot swimwear.
