2020 Guide To Buying Your New Swimsuit

How to choose the right swimsuits to flatter your figure

Shopping for new swimwear? The good news is there are endless types of swimwear designs, colors and styles to choose from. Surely there are women who can pull off a variety of different styles, however, with these helpful tips, you’ll find just the right suits that’ll make you feel the most confident in and most flattering for your figure. Here’s your guide to buying swimwear in 2020.

DECIDING ON THE COVERAGE

Before you go right to one-piece swimsuit styles and rule out two-piece swimsuits, consider tankini swimsuits that provide more, rather than less, coverage. A tankini top and full bottom can cover as much, or more, than a one-piece. Look for tankini-top styles with built-in support and a looser fit if you are thick-waisted or want to minimize the belly area. Also, if you are top-heavy, be sure to find a top with thick and/or padded straps to ensure there’s no digging at the shoulders.

Many bathing suits are offered as separates, giving you more options for matching up the ideal bottoms to wear with a tankini top. A high-waisted bottom and bottoms with an extra-wide waistband tend to help hold you in and give you a smoother look over a mid-rise or low-cut bottom. Also, a skirted bottom is quite flattering with a fit past the hip.
