Buying a swim suit

It's summer and that never -ending-quest to purchase the right swimsuit.
Once again, here are some tips to get the right one for you.

1. Don't look at the labels. I am talking about the size and price. Well, the price one is is okay to look at before you purchase the suit, but if it's a really good bargain that should not necessarily be the reason to purchase the suit.

2. Many experts suggest that you go up a size. Most suits are cut small and by going up a size you'll get better coverage.
3. Try on as many as possible in a variety of styles. You never know.
4. Don't be too critical of your self in the mirror. Swimsuit models are airbrushed and covered in makeup.

-Use cold water to wash.
-Rinse your suit after you take it off.

Get your body shape fit.

Inverted Triangle (shoulders wider than hips) :
Choose a swimsuit with a high-cut neckline. This will minimize the top, and emphasize the bottom. A solid top with printed bottoms is your best bet for a 2-piece suit.

Triangular or Pear Shape (hips wider than shoulders):
Look for a one-piece boatneck or racerback suit to create the illusion of broader shoulders for a more balanced figure! Also, look into tummy-control swimsuits .

Slender and Athletic Shape:
The goal with this body type is to produce curves. You'll want a swimsuit that creates the look of a defined waistline. Many one piece suit can create this illusion with decorations around the mid section.

A well-defined bust, waist and hips. Buy a suit to s show off your feminine curves.
