gray-pezdor-bathing-suit

The stormy shade of gray is flattering for all body types and a great alternative to the typical black swimsuit.  The black swimsuit is a comfort zone, but when you have a plus sized body and you wear an all black swimsuit without much skin showing, the look can be more like whale than anything else.  Black can be too much black, and it requires some skin to show to break up the harsh color.

Gray swimsuits

Gray on the other hand, is a little softer and easier on the eyes.  This is good news for the plus size woman as it creates a sleeker slimmer look.  You have so many options with black from light silver-gray to slate or pewter and charcoal gray.  Check out the different shades and see what flatters your skin tone and body the best. 

This swimsuit shows that breaking away from the classic black swimsuit can be a good thing.  I found this swimsuit on Zilily.  Zulily features boutique finds and has adorable maternity swimsuits for women.  You can find great savings and new items every day featured on the Zulily website. 

This gray swimsuit is sweet.  It is by Pez D’or called the black Maldivas maternity one-piece.  PezDor has been putting out premium maternity swimwear for years and their brand is featured on many swimsuit online stores.  Your baby bump will be well concealed here with this darker gray color and sweet bow to distract eye attention up.

Gray flatters a pear-shaped body

If you are bigger on the bottom and smaller on the top this figure concern is coined pear shape.  A gray swimsuit such as the one shown here can be very flattering on a pear-shaped body.  To balance out larger hips and bottoms look for wide-set straps and jeweled detail at the center of the suit that accent the chest.  This draws the eyes attention away from the lower body and upwards towards the check area which gives you a surgery free body-lift effect.

Gray swimsuit is the new black swimsuit

I love this Maaji port breeze kimono coverup!  Look slender and in style this coming swimsuit season with this dazzling Maaji coverup.  This coverup is featured in their new swimsuit collection for 2014 called Chimeric Wayfarer.  This collection is fantastic and no surprise because Maaji always has the best!

Kimono coverup

This Maaji port breeze kimono cover-up is the perfect accessory for wearing over your bikini or one piece swimsuit.  Wear at the beach or pool side, or in the early eventing to the jacuzzi.  When you get up and walk across the pool or beach area for refreshments you will feel sexy and comfortable with this coverup thrown over your swimsuit.  You won’t have to feel like you are on the walk of shame with everything showing.

The breeze fabric is sheer, feminine and sexy.  You will stay cool as it is a lightweight mesh.  It has an electric sweetheart waist and of course the fun and frolic mix of prints that is signature Maaji.  It has a contrast print and tie at the waist.

Round out a flat bottom

This coverup illustrates a nice trick for the woman who has a flat looking bottom.  The tie at the waist and flirty skirt fabric gives the rear end a rounding effect.  Some older women are slender but they aren’t as round, bouncy and filled out as their younger counterparts.  For a flat bottom or some loose skin a coverup like this is perfect.  The little mini skirt effect in back coupled with the tie at the waist gives shape and bounce to your bottom. 

This coverup can work equally well for the slender or plus size women. It’s a definite win for any figure type.  Love Maaji! This coverup can be purchased at Sundance Beach swimwear store online and is also available at other stores that carry Maaji such as Butter Flies and Bikinis, Kayokoko Swimwear, Swimwear World, Jewel be Mine, Bikinis Online and more.

swimsuit-kimono-coverup

Are you looking for a sexy coverup?  I love the idea shown here by this pretty lady.  She is wearing a kimono and it doubles as her swimsuit coverup.  I love this.  This is perfect for a plus size woman who feels huge in her bikini.  It’s the perfect slim down accessory. 

Sheer feminine kimono

What separates this look from the moo-moo of yesteryear is that the fabric is lightweight and sheer, but still gives the visual slim down effect and covers a larger woman’s body perfectly!  She does not look like she is trying to hide everything but rather just looks soft and adorable.

You can find kimonos anywhere including online and also at various vintage stores.  Another piece that works just as well is a silky short robe that is actually lingerie. If you get a lingerie open robe in a soft light weight material it will work similar to the kimono.

This particular sheer kimono cover up has the sash tie so it can be worn open in front or tied. It also as you notice has draped sleeves which can conceal large arms and/or a hefty upper body and shoulder area.  I just love this look and it really can make a larger, boxy or plus size figure look more feminine and voluptuous. 

This particular swimsuit coverup was listing on Overstock.  If you search for kimonos you should be able to find some cute coverup options such as this kimono shown here.
