This L space slate bandeau swimwear is from season 2011 and still quite in style for swimwear season 2012 and beyond. It’s a strapless bathing suit with a mismatched top and bottom.

Use of a solid color on one part of the bikini and a lighter color print on another part of the bikini is a popular trick. Usually, you put the solid, darker color on the bikini bottom, and use the lighter color on the bikini top. This slenderizes the bottom and enlarges the top.

L Space

With this Lspace swimsuit, the opposite trick is used. This girl isen’t trying to hide or play down her bottom. In fact, she is tiny, and showing it off. Ergo, a reversal of the mix and match idea, where she wears the lighter color on bottom to draw attention to her incredible tiny bottomed body.

Mix and match bikini

This reverse trick is just perfect for the very slender girl with the boyish figure. Instead of looking like a stick, the light color bottoms draw attention to the teeny bottom making it look girly.  It’s an advantage so she is showcasing it. Then, the slate bandeau top downplays the smaller chest that usually comes with a pixie figure.

If you are lacking curves and on the skinny bony side of things, a reverse flip on the light top, solid darker color bikini bottom mismatch is in order. Try a solid color darker top, and light color bikini bottoms. It will make your slender frame look curvy, feminine and like it has more shape than it does.

This stallion suede one piece swimsuit by Crystal Jin 2012 swimwear is beautiful and makes a flatter chest look completely sexy.  I found this one piece featured in a cute online boutique called Swimwear Boutique. This gorgeous one piece has a stylish 2 piece look to it and hides a belly, love handles, and bigger bottom.  This is perfect for an athletic build woman with a flatter chest.

Beautiful faux suede swimsuit by Crystal Jin 2012

The Willete one piece beautiful faux suede suit features a halter neckline and sliding solid hardware at each of the two straps.  The suit has a mid back so it shows the right amount of skin.  The ties at the neck are solidly supportive yet supple and soft.  The bottom provides moderate coverage and the suit is fully lined.  It is made of Nylon and Elastane to give a beautiful faux suede effect.  This swim suit can be put to work without crying PETA as it is only simulated suede not real suede.

This faux suede swimsuit style flatters a flat chest

The darker color of this swimsuit is slenderizing.  For a girl that is slightly thick through her waist line area, the flattering cut and style swimsuit is a godsend.  If you notice there is a thick brown band of fabric going around the underneath of the triangle style top.  This midriff band gives a slenderizing effect and helps create more of a waistline silhouette.

The modest coverage around the belly, hips, thighs and tummy make this a total winner for a modest girl.  Some girls in college won’t even be seen in a bathing suit because they feel like they can’t meet the perfect soriority girl ideal.  Wrong.  This suit really flatters a little thicker tank body and flat chest.  For a flatter chest girl, the trick of showing some serious skin in the triangle top is utterly sexy.  In fact, only a smaller chested girl can pull off this sexy bare chest look.

This swimsuit is Faux Suede so no need to worry about PETA

The dark brown color of this swimsuit with the low key pattern makes it look luxurious, sexy and oh so touchable.  She has the bold necklace and especially the wild and tousled beach hair to complement the swimsuit style.  For animalistic looks like this one, the big hair is a definite do. 

Think of the days of teased hair and Cindy Crawford.  Wash hair with volumizing shampoo, skip the hair brush for a piecey textured look, and blow dry hair with the head flipped over for maximum volume.  A high volume, textured  beachy hair-style goes perfectly with an animal inspired sexy swimsuit like this one.

Swimsuit coverups are stylish and sexy and can hide figure flaws.  If you want to hide fat arms, fat tummy, fat thighs, or fat bottom, try a sheer lightweight cover-up over your swimsuit.  Solid color cover-ups that are sheer, mesh, flowing and feminine are going to make you look ten pounds thinner and hide your problem zones.

Swimsuit coverups

There are various styles you can try to help hide flaws and give you a bit of modesty and sun protection.  A color that matches the swimsuit and especially solid color cover-ups can have the best slenderizing effects.  Try different styles including sarongs, tunics, wrap around skirts, and bathing suit cover-ups.  My favorite figure flattering look is a light weight sheer or mesh cover-up in a solid color that matches the swimsuit.  This can look casual yet sexy at the same time.  It is way more flattering than boxy terry cloth or sweats.

Think feminine, flirty, and flowing when it comes to coverups.  To hide heavy arms or flab on arms choose a long sleeve sheer style.  As you can see if the material is lightweight it still looks beach appropriate and can flatter your figure.  A long sheer shirt or a flirty and fun sun dress can make you look infinitely more sexy than sweats or a moo-moo kaftan.   Try light colors for a sunny fresh look or dark colors that are sheer and contrast with the swimsuit. 

Plus size alternative try a sheer sexy top over a bikini or sexy one piece swimsuit

Some women skip the bikini because they are embarrassed of their figure.  However, a well fitted bikini with a sexy cover-up can in some cases look more flattering than a frumpy plus size bikini with a built-in skirt.  Cover-ups give the plus size woman more options to work with in bikinis and one piece swimwear before having to move into the traditionally tacky plus size choices.  Try different combinations and don’t give up on finding a winning swimsuit and cover-up combination that is perfect for your body type.
