One-piece or two-piece?

When you have a few curves, it often happens that you think that the most suitable swimsuit is a very covering model. I don't quite agree with this statement and I'll explain why. 

Two piece swimsuits are possible! 

There are many suit cuts suitable for full-figured women, among which are two-piece swimsuits. The main thing, if you choose this type of swimsuit, is that it covers your belly, so that it fits well and is comfortable. Don't hesitate to choose it with a vibrant color, which you love: this will draw attention to the bright hues and patterns of the swimsuit and participate in making you look radiant.

There are also tankini type swimsuits, with a panty and long top, which are very comfortable, and combine both the benefits of the one-piece swimsuit and the bikini. If you haven't worn a swimsuit in public in a while and are a little apprehensive about showing off your body, they are a great alternative to regain your confidence! 

 

The one-piece swimsuit, ideal to sublimate your body

Because it is great, the one-piece swimsuit is often considered an ally of curvy women. However, wearing a one-piece swimsuit doesn't have to mean covering your body to the fullest: there are some nice scalloped, or low-cut models, that will enhance your curves. This will have the effect of magnifying your chest and curves, making them very feminine.

What cut to choose? 

Wondering what type of swimsuit to choose? I have prepared a small selection of models perfectly adapted for curvy women, with flattering cuts that will give you confidence!"

High waist to be comfortable

You have a little wide hips? Do not complex: it is a very feminine physical feature, which many envy. To highlight your waist and thus balance the ratio of proportions with your belly, I recommend a high-waisted swimsuit. The one-piece is quite suitable, but you can also wear a high-waisted swimsuit panty, which will reveal your skin a bit more and thus add a hint of sensuality to your look.

Take care to choose your high-waisted panties carefully: they shouldn't be too tight on you, to be comfortable, but they should also be well close to your body, especially when your swimsuit is dry. This will keep it from slipping off and it will leave you free to move, which is essential to really enjoy a day at the beach or pool. 

Layered ruffles to show off your chest

Want to draw the eye to your chest, while hiding your tummy a bit? Investing in aruffled swimsuit is a great solution: this type of cut brings lightness to your figure, while being very romantic. 

For maximum effect, go for styles with layers of ruffles, on several levels.

👉 This type of swimsuit has the advantage of helping you to alleviate some of the curves present on your back as well. 

A blousy top to suggest your curves without constricting you

Don't you love it when a swimsuit is too close to the body? When you have a few curves, it is indeed possible that you are not very comfortable with certain swimsuit cuts, which hug your curves very closely. If this is your case, I can only recommend a one-piece swimsuit or a tankini with a blousy top, which will create a blurred effect at the level of your stomach.

👉 As with ruffled swimsuits, this type of cut also hides a few love handles lodged at your back or ribs. 

A Peplum type tankini, to sublimate your figure

Peplum swimsuit tops are so called in reference to the draped outfits that women wore in ancient times. This type of top is ideal because it combines the benefits of blouson and ruffle tops: it draws the eye to your chest, hides your tummy and elongates your figure.

A swimsuit with pleats, to say goodbye to complexes! 

When looking for plus size swimsuits, it is clear that many models are cut to be pleated when put on. This a very specific purpose: these pleats allow the swimsuit to fit your curves without constricting them and enhance your figure. Thus, it is your swimwear that adapts to your body and not the other way around, bringing you comfort and freedom of movement.

In addition, these little pleats are perfect for hiding your love handles and helping you feel comfortable when you go swimming or sunbathing. 

What color swimsuit should you choose to make your body look great? 

Now that you know the flattering cuts for luscious physiques, I suggest you continue this guide by focusing on the shades to choose. 

Don't go for dark colors! 

If chosen to match your skin tone, most colors will be able to make you look good. However, it may be easier when you have a luscious physique to wear a dark swimsuit, whichwill make your curves more discreet.

There are many plain black swimsuits: these are often chic and sexy, but you can also dare a different dark color, which will be more original and produce the same effect. In particular, it can be navy blue, or kaki, which has been very trendy in recent years. 

Discover the power of prints! 

Holidays are the perfect time to dare to wear clothes that you might not have normally worn. If you're not used to original printsx, why not consider buying your swimsuit as a trial run, to let your fashion interests run wild?

A pretty print has plenty of advantages: it catches the eye, sublishes your body and allows you to express your personality and taste. It shows your style: it can be casual, sophisticated, romantic, and even very sexy, depending on the patterns on it, and the cut of your swimsuit. If you like originality, don't hesitate anymore! 

Play on the contrasts with a light top and dark bottom

In recent years, mixing a swimsuit top with a bottom of another color is ubiquitous in the fashion world. There's a reason for this: it createsan optical effect that will slim you down. Plus, it draws the eye to one of your major assets: your cleavage!

There are one-piece swimsuits that replicate this contrast, but you can also create it yourself by purchasing your swimsuit panties and top separately, whether it's a tankini or bra.
