Did you also know that you can get plus size swimwear to suit your particular body type as well? There are: plus size swimsuits for an hourglass shape, swimsuits for a triangle shape , plusize swimsuits for a circle shape and so on. Sounds amazing doesn’t it? But if you think about it for a minute, this is the perfect way to find something that is going to fit your body properly. After all, as well as being a “size” we also have unique bodies with such differing dimensions – so it seems logical to find outfits, especially figure hugging items of clothing such as plus size swimwear, that are designed for different body types.
So, what do all these different body types actually mean?
Plus size swimsuits for a Circle Shape:
If you have a circle shape then you have fuller shoulders with a round waist and full hips. The most flattering style of plus size swimwear for your body shape will be one-piece swimsuits or tankinis and always go for a halter neck or a V-neck style as this will focus attention on your neckline.
To give the effect of a narrower waist, you might also consider shirred or surplice styles.
Plus size swimsuits for a Triangle Shape:
This is for those of us who are narrow at the top and get wider along the hips and waist. With a smaller bust and narrow shoulders, you should look for plus size swim wear styles that move the focus away from your larger, wider body areas and draw attention to the top part of your body.
So,
- skirtinis
- swimdresses
- one pieces swimsuits with color or prints at the top
- tankinins with a printed top and plain bottoms
are all good.
Plus size swimsuits for an Hourglass shape:
An hourglass figure is always to be envied, on both small and fuller figured women alike. This is because the proportions for the upper and lower half of the body are in sync with each other - nothing is top heavy or bottom heavy.
If you have an hourglass figure, decide on those areas that you want to draw attention and which areas you want to take the focus off. In a nutshell, this is about choosing what you want to minimize and maximize. You can accentuate your bust, or you can concentrate on showing off your smaller waist, or even showing off your ample hips. It’s totally up to you. Before you go shopping however, remember the goldenn rules:
- dark colors minimze
- light colors maximize
- patterns stop the eye from focusing on any one area
Plus size swimsuits for an Inverted Triangle shape:
So this shape is exactly what the name implies – wider at the top (shoulders and bust) and narrower at the bottom (hip and waist).
This body shape is what is commonly referred to as “top heavy”.
When shopping for plus size swimwear, you should look for swimsuits that have wider straps or underwire for support.
Shirred swimsuits will help to highlight your waist and hip areas. Surplices and V-necks can also be quite flattering for this body shape.
Plus size swim for a Rectangle Shape:
If you fall into the rectangle shape body type then you will have more or less the same proportions from your shoulders down to your hips, no curves. You will need to draw attention to the waist areas by choosing plus size beachwear that has a belted waist. Try a surplice wrap or even swimsuits with diagonal stripes – any type of detailing or effect around the waist area is good whether it is a border or a different colored trim.
