Sexy Swimsuits

The Secret of Sexy Swimsuits

Sexy swimsuits are a lot like Prince Charmings. You'll have to kiss a lot of frogs under fluorescent lights before you find the one. When shopping for sexy swimwear, it's important to know your body shape and what works best for it. The other thing you'll need is an open mind to try on styles you're a bit wary of. Just because it's nothing like anything you've worn before, doesn't mean you shouldn't give it a shot.

Now that we've discovered one secret to finding the perfect bikini or one-piece, how about another? Sunless tanner. Apply a layer one or two days before you plan to find your suit. It'll instantly make you appear sexier and slimmer--two components of the confidence recipe. With confidence on your side, you'll be more open to the sexy swimsuits of the season.

Apple Girls

If your tummy is your trouble area, your answer is the tankini. It's still a two-piece, but it will cover the majority of your midsection. Your result? A sleeker looking middle. If you're interested in a one-piece, you can still find tummy slimming, yet sexy swimsuits. Sue Rice has a special section just for creating the illusion of a flatter middle.

Pear Babes

A lot of pear-shaped girls feel like they should cover up their bottom halves as much as possible to make them visually shrink. In that train of thought, they reach for boy shorts. Guess what? Those can actually make you look wider through the hip/butt area. Choose a high-cut leg instead. For tops, consider an "add-a-cup" or enhancing push-ups like those found at Victoria's Secret. You'll move attention away from the problem area, and direct it toward one of your better assets.

Large-Busted Women

Steer clear of most triangle tops and go for pieces that will give you ample support and coverage. You'll be much more comfortable physically and mentally if you opt for a suit with underwire to keep your girls in place. If you want to flaunt your mid-section or lower half, go with a scooped bottom for a sexy silhouette.

Hourglass Honeys

Ah, you're the envy of the women's world! You can wear whatever you like. Experiment with patterns and colors. White and black look stunning against a tan. Got blue eyes? Play them up in a turquoise halter. The possibilities are endless for your perfect proportions.

Look sexy!

Boy-Shaped Ladies

Feel like you look like a ruler? Wish you had more curves? You can create the illusion with a push-up top with padding. Try the Miracle Bra from Victoria's Secret and a pair of boy shorts. You'll have the curves to go with your sexy swimsuits in no time. Try bold patterns and bright colors, too!

Post-Mastectomy

If you've had a mastectomy you can definitely still look hot in a swimsuit. Woman's Personal Health has quite a few styles to choose from, all made with pockets on each side to hold foam inserts. Most of these suits have higher necklines to help cover scarring, and many offer tummy slimmers as well, so you wind up looking fabulous. Nicola Jane also offers sexy swimsuits with cuts that keep your prosthesis in mind. Isn't it great to know you're not confined to shorts and a t-shirt at the beach or by the pool?

Go For It

So now that you know the secrets to choosing just the right sexy swimwear, why not try a few on? You may be amazed at just how good you'll look when you find the type of suit that is just right for you.
