Fashion Do's of Plus Size Swimwear


DO feel free to bare a little skin and relax by the pool in a trendy tankini. They work best on gals who don’t want to bare all of the tummy area, but would like the feel of a traditional bikini. If you’re worried about showing your upper thigh area, a skirtini can be a great way to allow you the freedom of a bikini, with a bit more coverage. We recommend Always for Me for this item.


DO get creative with your plus size swimsuit choice this summer season. If you prefer a one piece, don’t think you are stuck to choosing only black suits. Add some color to your pool or beach time! Prints are slimming all around, however if you do a dark solid you will get the same effects. Remember, large prints work best on any body shape, from full figured to petite. We recommend Swimsuits for All for this item.


DO enjoy the warm weather with two piece swim wear if you feel daring! Many two piece swimsuits come in larger sizes, for the beautifully plus size woman. Despite what many people think, if you choose a two piece in your correct size, it can actually create a slimming effect for your middle. This is especially true in the lower tummy problem area. Be sure to choose a two piece that hits right below your belly button for the best effect. We recommend Always for Me for this item.


DO use cover-ups when strolling on the beach or pool. If you don’t feel comfortable walking around in your suit all day, think about buying a great coverup this summer. Instead of grabbing on of your man’s big t-shirts, think about grabbing a matching sarong or swim dress to lounge around in. We recommend Roamans for this item.


DO check out the popular brand Miracle Suit if you’re looking for a high quality suit that is not only fashionable, but also chlorine-resistant. Their suits will make any plus sized suit look like you’re wearing a slim fit masterpiece. With a built in bra and tummy control, anyone will look two sizes smaller in a suit by Miracle Suit. We recommend Lane Bryant for this item.


Fashion Don'ts of Plus Size Swimwear


DON'T choose a “grandma” version of the skirted bathing suit just because you want to minimize attention to your upper thigh area. Today’s fashion designers make adorable and trendy skirted suits, however they are most often found in skirtini styles. So, be daring by opting for the skirtini, instead of the paisley skirted mess even your grandmother wouldn’t be caught dead in.


DON’T go for men’s board shorts or swim shorts because you don’t want to show your legs. There is nothing worse than seeing women in men’s clothing at the beach. Wear your chosen swim suit proud! Don’t hide behind baggy clothes that will only add pounds to your appearance. Shortinis made for WOMEN are now widely available too, so there is no need to turn to clothes cut for men.


DON'T be afraid to mix and match swim separates when you are different sizes on top and bottom. Many women are heavier on the bottom than on top. They often buy a suit in a single size and don’t get the perfect fit on top. When you browse for swim separates, you have the freedom to get the perfect size…all around!


DON’T forget swim apparel is made for…swimming! So, after you choose your perfect plus size swimwear, hop in the pool for some fun and great exercise!
