Trying to find a good swimsuit can seem like an ordeal, but if you spend some time finding out what types of swimsuits to look for, it can be much less painful. There are suits that flatter and fit well for everyone if you know what to look for. Plan ahead and find out what suit should look good on you
If you are on the shorter side, you probably want a suite that will make you look taller. A diagonal stripe pattern really makes you look longer and leaner. Smaller stripes do this the best.
If you want to minimize the amount of skin showing or are trying to hide your midsection, try a swim dress style. This style really looks good and hides any areas you are not feeling good about. A swim dress with a fluttery skirt looks really cute, too.
Another style that makes your core look better is a suit with a print that is smaller. The smaller print is slimming and can draw attention away from any problem areas you are worried about.
A very versatile style is the tankini. The tops of tankinis now come in so many different styles. Try a print on top with a solid bottom, or vice-versa. Tankinis are comfortable to wear and swim in, also.
If you like bikinis you are in luck since now you can often mix and match tops and bottoms. You can mix up colors and styles, but even sizes in some stores. This is great if you are a different size on top and bottom.
Some two piece swimsuits look more like a one piece suit, since they have geometric patterns or bold prints on them. This style can be slimming and more comfortable to swim in than a bikini.
