Choosing a black bathing suit is always safe...or is it?

Yes!  Choosing a black bathing suit has always been safe.  We've been told for years black is a slimming colour to wear, but for those of you who want to break out of that box here are some suggestions of why prints and brighter solids could be the better option!

Many of us prefer solids because we can match them with more of our cover-ups, that is true! But unfortunately, they show every bump and ripple on our bodies. If there are areas on your body you don't want to bring attention to, choosing styles with a higher waist, or rouching through the tummy are great!

From my own experience, I find wearing a brighter colour or a print fabric on the beach is more complimentary especially when you don't have a tan yet. Print fabrics are always more forgiving for more voluptuous girls.  Prints keep the eye moving on the body, instead of zeroing in on our imperfections. If you are choosing a print swimsuit, choose a fabric that fits your personality! If your outgoing,  go for that bolder print.  For those of you that are a bit more conservative, a smaller print will keep you in your comfort zone! 

Don't stress when shopping, I hope some of these suggestions help!  Just remember swimsuits are supposed to be fun!
