Swimwear Suicide
06:39
One aspect of holiday shopping that can be a total nightmare
all boils down to a very specific section of your wardrobe – swimwear. This is
an area of fashion where it can all go horribly wrong very, very easily, from the
daunting bandeau bikini that seems to give me the torso of a 12 year old boy to
ill fitting bikini tops that you occasionally fall out of – giving the Spanish
couple on the sunbeds opposite quite a shocking start to their day. And don’t
even get me started on bikini bottoms. If you thought bikini tops were hard
work with their variable padding options and multi way strap functions, pants
are a whole different ball game.You have to achieve a perfect balance, right
in the middle of the overtly confident cougar lookalike strutting around
poolside in a thong and the odd couple who wear matching wetsuits – both of
which are not really what we’re going for. My opinion on the subject? Size
Matters. Although you may not initially like buying bikini bottoms in a size 10
instead of your usual size 8, you’ll be thanking me when you’re strolling along
the beach without showing the world what you had for breakfast or it looking
like your bottom is trying to escape from your swimwear. Again, not what we’re
going for. Tie side bikini bottoms are flattering on most body shapes, and you
can adjust them to make sure the fit is perfect and not digging in, creating
unnecessary lumps and bumps. However, this holiday season I have fallen head over
heels for high waisted bikinis, which give good tummy coverage whilst flaunting
a skinny waist, creating a sexy retro look that is perfect for poolside glam.
Whatever style you favour this summer just remember, sizing can make all the
difference.
