Hey girls, summer is heating up and vacations are a go! So that means it’s time to find the prefect swimwear that fits your body shape and make you look amazing. When it comes to finding flattering plus size swimwear, what do curvaceous women need to know? Choosing the perfect bathing suit is about more than the color or a design you like. Certain cuts and details can enhance your figure and accentuate your positive points, while downplaying any negatives.
Here are some tips to looking and feeling your best on the beach or at the pool!
1. 
Make sure that you wear something that flatters your shape and enhances your assets. That means find a suit that plays up your assets and camouflage your problem areas. If you have a large chest a halter size swimsuit will give you the support needed to keep the girls in place or try a two strap suit with a underwire that will lift and support you as well. If you carry most of your weight in the hips, thighs, and butt go for a suite with a low leg line like the Farrah swimsuit by Kiyonna in purple up top.
2. 
Pick swimsuits with detailing that elongates the body and camouflage our problem areas. Flattering ruching is one way that create a slimming effect, it hides the lumps and bumps! Ruching detail will elongating your body so it’s flattening you, making you look taller, longer, and leaner. Diagonal details also help quite a bit if you’re a curvy woman trying to camouflage a tummy or to create more of an hourglass shape. Also an important note to remember is wear dark or solid colors on areas of the body you wish to minimize, while focusing vibrant prints and patterns on areas you wish to showcase.
3. 
Ladies you know i am all about support! Find a suit that has built-in support. A swimsuit with soft sewn-in cups, comfy supportive straps and an inner power-mesh lining that creates a smooth, shapewear like effect will not only look great but give you a confidence that will allow you to focus on your back stroke and not your back love handles! 
4. Away with the grandma suit! ladies play it up, be sexy. Don’t be afraid of color, print, or feminine details 
5. 
For a playful poolside look, add retro-inspired sunglasses, a chic coverup and leg lengthening espadrilles. My favorite poolside accessory is the sarong! 
The sarong gives you more fantastic looks for the beach with the different ways you can tie and style them. They come in many colors and prints. You can wear them as a halter dress, a long skirt, or loosely tied to the side for extra coverage.
