If you’re like me, you’re probably still full from Thanksgiving dinner, and you probably will be for at least a few more hours!  Well, after all of that turkey and stuffing, you’re probably going to want, or maybe even need, some figure-flattering tips.  For all of you who are planning on getting into a swimsuit anytime soon, read on for some great simple style tips that every woman should know!

 

First, let’s talk fabric.  Any swimsuit that has a higher Lycra Spandex count will be ultra-slimming, and will definitely give you better body control.  A one-piece style swimsuit with a higher Lycra count will be especially slimming, as it provides great tummy control!  Like most reputable retailers, we always display the material content of each product for our customers, and if not, just ask!

Next let’s talk about design and style.  A swimsuit that has gathered ruching or any shirred fabric detail will be very slimming, and ultimately, flattering for your figure.  However, if tankinis are your swimsuit style of choice, try sexy A-line shapes, which are looser around your torso and have a very flattering effect.  Furthermore, a one-piece style swimsuit with a pattern or design that makes your waistline appear higher will also be very slimming and will help enhance your overall figure. 

 

Finally, just like with everyday clothing, color is extremely important to keep in mind if you’re looking for an ultra-flattering swimsuit.  Dark solid colors like black and navy are very slimming, and lucky for you, they’re common swimsuit colors!  Busy patterns and light colors often draw unwanted attention to areas you may not want to emphasize or enhance. 
 

With these easy to follow style tips, you can find your perfect swimsuit and look amazing—without having to cram in those extra hours at the gym!

    I agree that navy is very flattering! I love the look and fit of Nautica Swimwear. They use a base of navy in most of their collections, and you can find a flattering style for most body types.
