Now is the time for holidays and, naturally, many people are going to spend them on the beach. And the most important clothes on the beach for a woman is, of course, a swimsuit. And it is this element of the wardrobe that can advantageously emphasize the dignity of the figure. But with the same success can betray treacherously.
Therefore it is very important to choose a swimsuit that could hide the small flaws and emphasize your dignity. Let's see what kind of swimsuit is right for you?
If you have large breasts. This, of course, is a virtue. But when the chest compared to other parts of the body is too large, there is an impression of disproportion. Therefore, to divert attention from the chest, choose models of a swimsuit with a dark top and a light bottom. If you prefer a one-piece swimsuit, then it's better to choose a model with a smell. The scallop will distract attention from the chest and emphasize the waist. Also, women with large breasts should choose swimsuits with cups on the bones to support the chest. In addition, it is necessary to avoid models of swimsuit without strapless, otherwise the breast will look saggy.
If you, on the contrary, have a small chest, then you should choose models with cups with a seal. Also, such women are suitable strapless swimsuits, especially models, where the top is twisted like a scarf.
If you have broad shoulders. In this case, you need to pick up the top of the swimsuit with a V-neck. This effect is beautifully created by a swimsuit, where the straps are tied around the neck. It looks like a clamp. Such a swimsuit visually reduces the shoulders and emphasizes the chest.
If you have narrow shoulders. Here, on the contrary, you need to choose the top with straight straps. In addition, the top of the swimsuit should be light or with a pattern. The bottom, on the contrary, is better to have a monochromatic dark color. If you want a one-piece swimsuit, then choose models where the pattern is located more at the top. The cutout of such a swimsuit should not be too deep. This arrangement can slightly increase the shoulders.
Broad hips and heavy bottom. In this case, it is also worth giving preference to the light top and dark bottom. This visually distracts attention from the hips, and also will make them a little narrower. It is better that the bottom of the swimsuit is in a vertical strip. Well hide the model's thighs with a skirt. But this option is suitable only for those women who have broad shoulders or normal. If the shoulders are narrow, it will only emphasize the shortcomings, instead of showing dignity.
If you have short legs, low growth. In this case, you should choose a swimsuit with a high cut on the hips. This visually makes the legs longer. Naturally, you can not choose models with low-set panties. If you have wide hips, then you should choose a model with a normal notch on the hips, but in a horizontal strip.
If we talk about bikini, then this model looks good on tall girls. Basically, these models are suitable for girls who have a slender, smart figure.
Well, in conclusion I would like to say: choose a swimsuit that you like, because this is the most important thing. If you feel comfortable in it, the remaining problems will not bother you.
