Tips for Choosing a Bikini

It may still be cool out now in many regions, but it will be warmer very soon, and if you are like many people, you can’t wait to hit the beach. Quite possibly the next thing that comes to mind is a sense of panic as you run around thinking about trying on bikinis, tankinis or even just a more modest two piece swimsuit. You feel that it is time to start seriously getting fit, yet choosing the right swimsuit is just as important.

When shopping for a bikini, make sure that the bottom fits well. This may sound like a rather obvious statement, but many people don’t really see that. A woman may be a size 6 but there is still the possibility of those dreadful love handles. It is not a pretty sight but it is true of even those who are fit. Do not let the desire to diet yourself down to a size 4 ruin how you actually fill out your swimwear bikini.

As frustrating as it is, finding the bikini with the perfect top for you is vital. If you have a smaller bust and want to give the illusion of having fuller breasts, then try one of the bikinis with a bandeau top. Also choose textured and bright colors to further create the illusion of a larger chest.

Of course, if you have the opposite problem, then an ample chest looks really good in a halter style top. Not only does it look good but with a wide strapped halter top you have the advantage of being able to tighten and lift at the same time. An added bonus to this sexy bikini style is the fact that you won’t have to worry about it coming off every time you dive into the water. Remember, if you are wearing bikini swimwear that you feel good about and are comfortable in, then you may feel a little better about it when you are throwing your near naked body out there for the world to see. It also helps if you take a good friend with you when trying on bathing suits as they are more likely to be honest in their opinion.

Some women feel that they have the legs of a dachshund, meaning that they are short. If that is the case with you, then you will want to look for the bikini bottom that has a higher cut on the leg. You want to be sure to stay away from the bikinis that have the low-cut, boy shorts style, as it will make the legs appear shorter. If you are really lucky, then you may be able to find the very rare low-rise/hi-cut style. If you do, then be sure to stock up on them.
