Frugal Fashions Fun In The Sun
Tankini or Bikini Swimsuits Are they right for you?
To accentuate curves many options are available to you. Swimwear is one of those options. A tankini can cover up the unwanted curves and bring attention to the wanted curves. This sort of swimwear also allows the wearer to feel covered but get sun on a larger portion of their skin if desired. This type of suit and cut serves many purposes for the wearer.
Tankinis are not age specific. If you are comfortable in the suit, it fits you properly and flatters your body type, those things are what matters most. For those that are smaller chested, choose a halter type top. For the larger chested a V cut top is more flattering. The area beneath the chest and down to the waist should be loose fitting. The length is determined by the wearer, do you want your midriff covered? Then choose a longer top.
Many options are available for the bottoms of swimwear tankinis. Boy shorts, traditional bikini bottoms, thongs, and skirts. Each individual style has it’s own advantages and disadvantages. If you are a little shy about your thighs or embarrassed at the thought of not being more covered up a skirt style is probably more to your liking. Boy shorts are cute, comfortable and great for beach type sports.
Other options if your looking for two piece swimwear include the bikini. The bikinis traditionally are purchased as a set. However, taking the time to purchase your swimwear as two separate pieces will allow for the best suited swimwear. When purchasing as a set it seems inevitably either the top or the bottoms will fit but not both. And it seems you never get the style top you want with the style of bottoms you want on the same hanger.
The best time to shop for your suit is either at the end of the summer season or in the late winter/early spring. Especially if you are traveling for the summer. No one wants to be stuck looking for a suit that will fit when they are on vacation. So plan ahead. If you decide to purchase a new one, do it early.
Just as the style of suit is important so is the color or pattern of a suit. If you are selecting a solid color suit, try it on and see how well the color of the suit matches your skin tone. For a pattern suit, the same rule applies, try it one before you purchase it.
So picture yourself on vacation to this amazing beach front location and all you want to do is lay in the sun, but you realize you forgot your suit. Or couldn’t find one that fit before you left. Make sure the important purchases are done before you leave your homes.
Only you can decide what’s right for you. Bikinis and Tankinis are cute but if you aren’t comfortable they wont be on you. So pick what you like and what you will wear.
