From statement-making bikinis and mix-and-match separates to
cute cover-ups and retro tankinis, a Cruise vacation calls for a flawless swim
wardrobe. Make a splash on the deck with the following styles according to body
type.
Athletic
If you have muscular legs, broad
shoulders and narrow hips, you have an athletic build. Women with athletic
builds often have difficulty finding swimsuits that help them create the
illusion of curves. Give your figure a little va-va-voom with a bikini with
molded cups to boost a small bust. Higher-cut bottoms, string ties in the back
and molded cups can all help to create the illusion of curves. Ruching on the
cups can also enhance the bust in a subtle, stylish way.
Curvy
Curvy ladies have a tiny waist in proportion
to the larger hips and bust. Show off those curves in swimwear that will
flatter your best attributes and hide your worst. All-over patterns are ideal
for curvy ladies who do not want to draw attention to one area of the body.
Ensure that your swimsuit has sufficient support, including soft cup bras and
wider straps. Vertical stripes give the appearance of a leaner, longer torso
and high-rise bottoms help to smooth out the curves underneath.
Hourglass
The name says it all. This build is
curvy in all the right places: booty and bust. Women with hourglass figures are
blessed with the ability to wear nearly any swimsuit style. Look stylish and
age-appropriate by sporting figure-flatting one-piece sexy swimwear. Underwire support and molded
cups help to keep your bust in check, while retro designs promote an
of-the-moment look. If you’re not afraid to show a little skin, look sexy and
sassy in a one-piece suit with tie side, pucker back bottom, halter, cut out
front or o-ring details.
Pear-Shaped
If you’re like many women, you have a
pear-shaped figure with your lower half slightly larger than your upper half.
There is several ways to camouflage your trouble spots with the right swimsuit.
Avoid over-the-top prints and patterns that scream “look at me!” Instead, opt
for a solid suit or a subtle pattern, such as a tropical floral or geometric
print. Conceal thighs and hips with full-coverage briefs, boy shorts or
hipsters. Halter straps or molded cups help to draw the eyes up.
Busty
Whether you want to show off your
assets or tone them down, the right swimsuit can instantly flatter big-chested
women. If you are a woman with a large bust, the right swimsuit comes down to
aesthetics and practicality. Look for a top that offers a lift, coverage and
extra support. One-piece swimsuits are acceptable for all body types. If you
prefer the look of a cute bikini, opt for a folded bottom which minimizes love
handles. Busty ladies can also look their best in a fitted tankini that offers
plenty of tummy coverage and flatters the bust and waistline.
So as you can see there are swimsuit fashion styles
for everyone.
