For many years women who have larger bodies have been forced to wear clothing that is not in style. Plus size swimwear was made from different fabrics and different patterns than misses sizes. You could find the area of the clothing department that carried the plus size swimwear simply by looking for the bright colors mixed in with a great deal of black. For some reason the clothing industry thought that if you were over weight or pregnant you wanted to wear bright colors, large prints and polyester material. Many times the plus size clothing department would be next to the maternity clothes.

Things have gotten somewhat better for the bigger size women. General swimwear is now readily available in larger cuts. A great deal of sequins, appliques, and beaded embellishments are incorporated into the dressy plus size swimwear. This type of embellishment tends to make the person wearing the clothes look older. The stores that specialize in larger sizes tend to be more expensive. The clothing is trendier and in fabrics and colors that are more complimentary, however the prices often limit many women from being able to buy their entire wardrobe.

The piece in all of this that seems very strange is that there are millions of people that are overweight globally, yet the fashion industry consistently caters to the skinniest people. A skinny person will not find a dress with large prints and lace embellishments on their area of the clothing rack. It seems odd that the manufactures and designers of clothing think that because someone is larger in size they want to have clothing that draws attention to them by the gaudy embellishments. Larger women need to find a way to help manufactures understand that plus size clothing needs to look like smaller clothing in the fabrics and patterns used. The clothing needs to be larger in cut, but it can still be made to look the same as regular sized swimwear.

Thankfully – things are changing for the better.

Triangle/Pear Shape – you have wider hips but relatively slim waistline so lets highlight that by wearing solid dark coloured bikini bottoms which will minimize the hip area and a halter neck low cut bikini top which will draw attention to your slimmer top half.

Apple – you have a full bust but less defined waistline. The Key here is to support that bust with under wire bikini tops creating an impressive cleavage
and drawing attention away from the less defined midriff.

Rectangle – you are equally proportioned from shoulder to hips so we need to create curves! go for a bikini with a detailed waistline in bold, bright
designs.

Hourglass – Your shoulders and hips are balanced and your waist is defined so let’s accentuate your best asset! An asymmetrical tankinin is ideal
as are high-cut leg bikini bottoms which will accentuate your natural curves.

No matter what your size or shape the simple rule when choosing plus size swimwear is to draw attention to your best asset, whether that be smaller
waist, longer legs or ample cleavage. Bold, bright, busy prints often work well and if you don’t feel confident enough to wear a bikini or tankini, one piece swimsuits can be just as sexy and
stylish as long as they are a good fit and make the most of your strongest features. If it gives you more confidence team your bikini or swimsuit with a
swim skirt or swim shorts.
