Sheer Bikinis
From LoveToKnow Swimsuits
Advantages of Sheer Bikinis
Besides making a woman feel outrageously sexy, sheer bikinis offer you the opportunity to sun without any telling tan lines. This is great for those who welcome a healthy sun-kissed glow, but don’t want the hassle of adjusting a suit.
Furthermore, today’s sheer bikinis allow you to choose the amount of coverage you need by only becoming sheer when wet. When not in the water, these bikinis offer the same modest coverage of a regular opaque suit. Delving into the water causes the suit to become sheer, but once dry, the suit reverts back to its original full coverage look.
How to Choose One
Choosing a sheer bikini need not be a difficult task, especially if you know what to look for. Here are a few tips to help you in your search for the perfect bikini.
- The most important thing you can do is to make sure your bikini fits you correctly. You don’t want to spend your fun day in the sun self-consciously tugging at your bikini bottom. Likewise, straps that constantly fall off the shoulders can be a fun-killer. Save yourself these unnecessary worries by making sure your suit fits correctly.
- There are many different fabrics to choose from out there. Crochet styles can be very flattering on the right figure, and this fabric looks best in black or white. Microfiber and mesh are some other available fabrics that come in a wide variety of colors.
Choose Your Color
Once you know your size and understand which fabrics wear well on your figure, it’s time to choose the right color. This can actually be a lot of fun. Take into consideration your coloring and your skin’s undertones.
- Cool Undertone: Cool undertones are usually indicated by pale, rosy, ebony, or dark red skin. The most flattering colors for your swimsuit would be cobalt blue, a true red, or a flesh colored suit.
- Warm Undertones: Skin that has a yellow, golden, or honey hue is considered warm. Try swimsuits in apricot, or bamboo to really stand out from the crowd.
- Neutral Undertones: Neutrals are indicated if you have olive toned skin, or are a blend of both cool and warm tones. Shades like a toasted pink, fuchsia, or spring green can be particularly flattering on you.
How About Cut?
The cut, along with color and fabric, is just as important in determining how good sheer bikinis look on you. Luckily, there is a labyrinth of cuts out there to choose from.
- If you are extremely fit, try a boy short cut. These are flattering to a fit derriere, and give a sexy, yet sporty look. Another bonus? These cuts actually move with you.
- If you have a medium level of fitness, look for a cut that sits high on the thigh. A high cut will give the illusion of having a longer leg; a look that suits almost everyone.
- Whether on the beach, or pool side, a sheer tankini top will keep you looking sexy and fabulous. Tankinis are great because they give your stomach extra coverage. Choose one in a sheer fabric, and your sexiness quotient will remain very high.
- Lastly, if you have very fit shoulders and arms, think about going with a string, or triangle-cut bikini top. The thin straps will make your toned upper body look fantastic, and your figure will look sleek no matter which bottom you choose.
