THE BIKINI

Embrace your curves and find the perfect bikini to flatter your figure. A great tip? Look for separate pieces so you can get just the right size bikini top and bottom. As you’re swimsuit shopping, look for these:

Plus Size Bikini Tops

  • Neckline: Go with a sweetheart shape to flatter your neckline.
  • Support: Have a fuller bust? Stick with strapless bandeaus featuring underwire and boning for added support. Can’t go without straps? Reach for halter picks that let you control the fit.

Plus Size Bikini Bottoms

  • Coverage: Trying out a two-piece for the first time? Bikini bottoms with a higher waist mimic the look of a one-piece in separates and have a stylish shape.
  • Tummy Control: High-waisted bottoms featuring a tummy-control panel helps to create a sleek and smooth silhouette—plus can be paired with any bikini top.

THE TANKINI

A tankini is a great way to experiment with a two-piece swimsuit, while still getting the coverage and figure-flattering benefits you love.

  • Neckline: A tankini top with a higher neckline can help minimize the bust area and elongate the torso. An underwire design also helps to provide optimal support and lift.
  • Silhouette: Going for a sultry look? A tankini top featuring a cutout or sweetheart neckline helps to highlight your curves. Bonus style points if it’s accented with gleaming hardware!

THE ONE-PIECE

Look for the one-piece swimsuit that speaks to your shape and style. Textured styles with built-in control panels are a great way to flatter your midsection. Go for brilliant colors and patterns or keep it classic in versatile black. Another stylish design?

Swimdresses

  • Coverage: The longer hemline is a discreet option for camouflaging hips and thighs.
  • Silhouette: A ruffled bottom is great for balancing out a top-heavy figure.
