One Piece Swimsuits – 3 Top Designs to Slim Your Figure

June 10, 2010 · Filed Under Swimsuit Articles · Comment 

It is that time of year again. It is time to start thinking about going to the beach or to the pool to soak up some sun and enjoy the water. It is also time to revisit your old bathing suit to see if you will need new stylish one piece swimsuits for the summer. If you are a full figured woman, there is no need to become anxious over the thought of having to hide at the beach. Today there are many plus size swimsuits available for you, and if you know a few tricks, you too will be able to have fun hanging poolside this summer.

Here are three of the top choices you can make when buying a swimsuit to ensure your full figure is accented in beauty.

#1 If you chose a suit that fits you like a “bag,” fluffing out at the waist, then you’ve made the wrong choice. Chose a fit that flatters your natural curves instead of fights them! Many times, women with full figures will purchase a one piece swimsuit that does not fit their body shape, which is usually an hour-glass shape.

The right one-piece swimsuit will have a nice fitting waist, and may even have a horizontal line just under the bust line to accentuate a flat tummy and hide any bumps. A plus size swimdress may be an option, but be sure that the dress part of it is either attached to the suit, or is a lay-over; other wise, the dress will float up on you when you get in the water, exposing parts of you that you wanted covered in the first place.

#2 Chose an underwire swimsuit. By choosing a swimsuit with a built-in underwire, you will be assured that your bust is fully supported and contained. A plus sized swimsuit should be designed for the complete full figured woman who wants to feel comfortable and confident about her bust line. The neck line of the top adds to this, but the best choice may be different for each woman. Be sure to try on a few to see if a V-neck or straps better slim your figure.

#3 Patterns and colors! Many times, a pattern or color can totally override your natural curves and beauty. A basic black one piece swimsuit is always a good choice. Look for simple gold or white piping around the neck line, or even some simple black lace to give an feminine appearance. If splashy colors are your thing, consider a black background with a single, large, brightly colored floral pattern in the center of the suit. This will still “side-shear”, giving you the appearance of having an even more shapely figure.

These are the top three features of a perfect slimming one piece swimsuit: Chose the right fit with the appropriate bust support, choose an underwire swimsuit or swimdress, and chose the right color and pattern for you. That’s it. By making these choices, you will not only be comfortable at the beach, but you will have confidence that you look your best. Make summer fun by making sexy, slenderizing swimwear choices!

Swim Competition and Sports Swimwear – 5 Things You Should Know About High Performance Swimsuits

May 12, 2010 · Filed Under Swimsuit Articles · Comment 

Whether you’re an amateur swimmer, a professional swimmer, or you just want to play a tough game of volleyball on the beach, you’ll want to consider buying a high performance swimsuit that will withstand your vigorous activities in and out of the water.

Here are five things you should know about high performance swimsuits before you buy one.

1. Sports swimwear and competition swimwear should be functional yet fashionable. The fabric should be smoother than your skin, which streamlines your swim strokes and creates less drag in the water. Make sure the label on the suit or the tag description states that it is competition swimwear or sports swimwear.

2. Competition swimwear changes the way the water flows around your body, and the fabric compresses your body, which also helps reduce vibration. Choose a fabric that is water repellent and preferably has a hydrophobic finish to it.

3. Your suit should fit correctly-wrinkle-free, and skin tight. When you try it on, the suit should not restrict your range of motion, and there should be no wrinkles in the fabric that would add drag to your swimming efforts. Sometimes you might have to buy a swimsuit that is one size smaller, even if it takes a little bit longer to get into. In addition, if you’ve purchased a performance suit with legs on the suit, you can place a plastic bag over your foot and then slide your foot through the swimsuit‘s bottoms to make it easier to slip into.

4. In the swimwear industry, there are competition suits and racing suits. The sports swimsuits and competition swimsuits normally cost more than most other swimwear. Don’t defeat your purpose by buying a cheap suit if you’ll compromise its performance.

5. The fabric that performance suits are made of expand in the water, so you might have to buy a suit that’s one or two sizes smaller than you’d normally wear. However, if you’re not swimming in a competition, and you’re just swimming for leisure, you can usually buy your normal size.

Avoid – Horizontal stripes, they make you look flatter.

Minimise – your lack of curves with interesting patterns or detail on your swimsuit.

Avoid – Solid coloured shapeless tank tops, and vertical stripes.

Solutions to other Problem Areas:

Short Legs – try spaghetti style bikini bottoms or high cut leg styles they will make your legs appear longer.

Flabby Tummy – try a dark coloured tankini top, worn with roll top high waisted pants, these will give your tummy support.

No Hips – try patterned pants or pants with interesting details, this will give the illusion of curves and give you some shape.

Broad Shoulders – try a square neckline with wider shoulder straps this will help to make them look narrower.

Round Bottom – try baggy boy leg board shorts, wear them with a fitted lycra singlet, this will balance everything out and give you confidence.

Have a great Summer!

Amazing Guide to Purchase Men’s Swimsuits

March 7, 2010 · Filed Under Swimsuit Articles · Comment 

If you prefer going for swimming competitions and other aquatic fitness activities like lap swimming and other water aerobics then a good swimsuit would augment your efficiency in water. This would keep you comfortable during the process of activity, and would also stand up better to the falling effects of chlorinated water other than most of the fashion swimsuits does. There are few things you need to consider before buying a men swimsuit:

Know your size

To know your swimsuit size, you would require measuring yourself using a measure tape.

- You need to take your measurements when you are only in underwear

- Just stand in front of mirror and take it

- When you measure ensure that the tape measure is absolutely straight and not twisted.

- To get an accurate measurement, the tape measure should be snug, but not pinching or tight

- Note if in case you are the between sizes, then go for the smaller size in a racing and other competition suit and the bigger size in an aquatic fitness suit.

- Most of the men’s swimsuits are sized rated on waist measurement only. Men must select the size, which corresponds with their perfect waist measurements.

Know the reason for usage

Go for the apt suit; first decide the activity for which you would be using the suit often.

Competitive/Racing Purpose

- Whether you go for training or competition, you need high-performance swim suit, which maximize your speeding in water and improve glide over times by decreasing drag and improve water flow.

- Most of the people purchase separate swimsuit for competition and training purpose. However it could be the ultimate point is buy some that is tight fit for you.

Sizing

- If you are go for training then buy a normal size but understand that the fit would be snugger than that of a usual fashion swimsuit.

- When it comes to competition, go with a mens swimsuit that is at least one size smaller than what you got for your training suit.

Styling

- Most of the men’s training and competition swim suit have fairly cut leg openings, draw cords in the interior of waistband, and other side seams of nearly 3-inches.

- For men desiring full coverage or excess coverage, training suits with lower leg openings and side seams up to 7-inches are accessible, but note that they are not the obligatory for training or competition.

Aquatic Fitness

- On the other hand, for lap swimming and other water aerobics, you would require a suit, which offers comfort and freedom of time, plus required coverage and support.

- Men would find training suits planned for the competitive/training swimmer to be most apt for aquatic swimming for fitness

- Here you should consider snug fit but not tight. A good fitting suit would remain in place during vigorous movement, but not pinch, bind or ride up in the seat.
