classic-white-bikini

White is an all time classic color swimsuit. While swimsuits can often be designed with other colors and prints in the mix, the brilliant pop of plain white fabric is the ultimate classic look.  White swimwear is classy, sexy and simple. It’s a look men are attracted to, as they don’t notice style, cut, fabric and embellishments the way women do. There are a wide array of designers that put out white swimsuits so you’ll never run out of swimsuit options if white is the color you seek.

This bikini is the classic triangle top style with side string tie bottoms. This is generally worn by a woman that is slender, although you can pull off this look if you are heavier but nonetheless athletic and toned.  You need to have a relatively small top for the triangle string top style. A large chest will bulge out the sides and bottom too much and the top will be too difficult to keep it’s place. There is nothing worse than constantly falling out of your top or having your chest peeking out the bottom of the top.  Proper fit is everything.

A white swimsuit should be fully lined

The way to look flattering in a white swimsuit is to first of all find one that is lined. It’s generally better to wear this for looks and style because if you do go into the water it will be see through. Be sure to check what this bikini looks like wet, or plan to get a whole lot of attention if you are in public in a wet white bikini. If you plan to swim, it needs to be fully lined so as to prevent it from getting too see-through.

Try a fake spray on tan to complement the white swimsuit

The way to compliment a classic white bikini is to get a nice deep tan to contrast off the white which makes it stand out. Do not get a real tan however, they rays are so unsafe as are the tanning beds. Try one of those spray on tans in the salon before you go on your vacation or during the time in the summer where you will be wearing that white bikini the most. The spray on tan lasts a about a week.

Another alternative is to get a gradual build tanning cream and slowly build up a glowing home golden fake tan. The only thing you must watch out for is to apply the cream when you are not wearing the bikini (like the night before). If you get that white bikini anywhere near tanning cream or spray that has yet to set, it will permanently stain the fabric.

White stains easily and its hard to remove tanning stains from a white swimsuit so be careful. I love the quick spray on tan like Sally Hanson but you should avoid this if you plan to promptly put on a white bikini because you might get the tan stuff on the bikini. Get that tan in place well before you wear the bikini so it doesn’t bleed onto the material.

gottex-slimming-swimsuit

I’ve always loved the swimsuit brand Gottex because they put out quality swimsuits that make you look slender. 

The deep V and the wrap-like style of this Gottex Full Figure Surpice V Neck One Piece makes it figure flattering for curvy women. The end of the wrap around look hits about an inch above your waist-line to accentuate the shape of your hips and legs and has a round cutout to the mid-back to offset the V in front. This Gottex bathing suit is made of Polyamide/elastane.

Department stores like Bloomingdales carry brands that focus on high quality construction

Department stores like Bloomingdales can help you narrow down the hunt for a figure flattering swimsuit.  The buyers for a department store such as Bloomingdale’s weed out all of the best styles for you.  Higher end department stores usually feature a smaller collection of only the most figure flattering swimsuits.  Gottex is the reigning king of high quality, figure flattering swimsuits.   Their swimsuits are always made of sturdy and thick figure hugging fabric with full lining.

Gottex swimsuits are always figure flattering

Gottex designs are always clean, modern and modest with extremely good body support.  Their main agenda at Gottex is to make your body look better.  Everything from the style to the supportive strong fabric and lining to the color of the swimsuit is geared toward the goal of flattering the figure.  This swimsuit does just that – it flatters the body.  This deep V and the wrap-like style of this Gottex Full Figure Surpice V Neck One Piece makes it a super-flattering style choice for curvy women.  It hugs and control the bulge.

The solid blue color is also a figure flattering choice.  It’s a little more zingy than basic black however dark enough to conceal bulges and flaws.  The textured fabric is also a nice touch.  The Gottex Full Figure Surpice V Neck One Piece is available in sizes 16 through 24.  I found this swimsuit featured in the style section called 15 minute fashion which is part of About.com.  I like it a lot for the plus sized woman.

South Beach Swimsuits

This Jets 2013 Purity retro swimsuit is so gorgeous! What a fantastic retro style that is absolutely figure flattering! Yes it is expensive topping two hundred dollars but Oh my my, this retro bathing suit looks spectacular on the model. No surprise I found it featured on South Beach Swimsuits as their online store carries some of the hottest South Beach designer swimwear.   They have a great selection of figure flattering styles.

Slenderizing tummy

Swimsuits that have a panel or ribbing coming down the center of the tummy tend to slenderize as they create a color block on a thinner, inner swatch of the tummy. This comes at a price usually because they often feature the vertical tummy paneling in a totally separate color so it becomes a “give-away” that the objective is tummy slimming. Not with this swimsuit though! It’s got the slenderizing tummy panel but instead of a different color being used it just re-seams the printed material with piping going down the panel.  If you look closely you can see that the tummy paneling arcs in at the waist then arcs out slightly at the bottom/hips.

Tummy slenderizing piping flatters the figure and creates curves

This tummy panelling arc is a great figure flattering idea! What it does is make the tummy look the skinniest right at the center of the tummy (through the waist) and then it flares out at the bottom to accentuate her sexy hip curves! If you have a straight up and down figure this bathing suit will give you the instant illusion of a voluptuous hourglass shape.  It makes the body look curvaceous.

Deep plunge halter top with plenty of support shows off nice cleavage

Look at the top too, it is so adorable. The retro styling screams glamour but the look is contemporary and classy too! I love the flattering halter straps which are going to give plenty of support to a larger or saggy chest. Totally sexy. You can really take advantage of showing off the cleavage in this bathing suit. Halter tops that have straps at the outside of the suit towards the underarms always make cleavage look even bigger.  I love the fact there is a little lace accent sculpting through the middle of the bra area, because it adds a little frill and focus to the breast area.  This swimsuit flatters the chest.

This JETS swimsuit by designer Jessika Allen is featured is one of the best retro style bathing suits I’ve seen. Featured by popular online swimsuit store South Beach Swimwear.
