Ah, swimsuit season. That time of the year that far too many women dread—when they don’t need to!
If you’ve already stepped into the dressing room this season, you may have suffered through feeling too fat, bumpy, or oddly-shaped when you looked in the mirror under those fluorescent lights.
Stop beating yourself up and embrace your Type of beauty! You are unique, and there will be swimsuits out there that simply don’t work for you! With the correct information, you can make swimsuit shopping a painless experience this summer.
Try out these 5 tips to find the best swimsuit and enjoy your summer to the fullest:
1. Consider your body shape.
Last summer, I put together this Swimsuit Guide for Your Body Type to help you find a knock-out swimsuit.
Whether you have a small or large bust, long or short torso, large or small hips, long or short legs, you need to read this Swimsuit Guide.
As you read it, make note of your unique body shape and then tailor your own shopping to look for the swimsuits that will flatter you
2. Choose something comfortable!
So often women are concerned about how they look, that they forget to think about how they feel!
When you try on swimsuits, take a few steps, stand up, sit down, bend down, twist and turn to determine how active you can be without having to tug and pull at your swimsuit all day.
Especially if you have kids, you want to pick a swimsuit that allows you to be present with them and have fun in the sun—instead of constantly worrying about your suit!
Here’s what Lifestyle member, Stephanie M. shared recently in our Lifestyle Members Facebook Group:
“My bathing suit came in the mail! I set a goal to find a hot and conservative bathing suit that I could romp around with my daughter in—and I did! This is the best I’ve EVER looked in swimwear. Just the right color changes everything!”
3. Ask yourself this important question!
Before you walk up to that register or check out online, ask yourself: “Do I LOVE it?”
If you don’t, it’s not worth it. You need to make sure you can say “I love it!” when you get home.
Just because you found a suit that finally fits or you found one that’s on sale doesn’t mean that’s the suit you’ll feel most confident in. Avoid buyer’s remorse by asking that important question.
