Pattern, style and color can make a difference when choosing plus size swimwear, depending on your body type.
1. If you are heavier on the bottom and want to minimize your hips and conceal your thighs:
- Choose swim dresses or swim skirts
- Use dark colors for bottoms
- Look for extra support (such as a full coverage brief)
Some examples of plus size bathing suits that could work for your body type:
2. If you have a large chest and/or are heavier on top, you’ll need a suit to support your bust and elongate your torso, so:
- Buy V-neck lines, which draw the eye in a longer line
- Surplice is great option to elongate the torso
- Look for a built-in bra
3. If most of your weight is carried around your waist or tummy, look for suits that slim and shape the waist or with tummy control. Some ideas:
- An overall pattern always distracts attention from the waist
- Surplice is great way to slim down overall
