Plus Size Bathing Suits

"How to Buy and Where to Buy Chic and Comfortable Womens Plus Size Bathing Suits"

Two of the best plus size bathing suits are tankini swimwear and swim dresses because they're know to skim over the lumps and bumps, "tuckin" in the extras, giving enough support around the bust; and of course, both swimsuit styles provide you with the coverage you're looking for when buying plus size swimsuits.

If you want to wear a fashion statement, then a swimdress is the perfect choice! It's cute and feminine all at the same time. Most swimdresses have a subtle flare at the hemline which adds a nice proportion to your figure (think bootcut pants and jeans).

However, if you're looking for something that resembles a bikini, then tankini swimwear will give you enough coverage to make you feel gorgeous and comfortable at the beach. A tankini is a two piece bathing suit which consists of a top that reminds you of a short halter or tank top. They're an excellent choice if you want something to hold in your tummy.

How to Buy Plus Size Bathing Suits

Look for elongating and slimming details

Such as vertical stripes, vertical prints. Learn more about slimming swimsuits

Opt for v-necks

Because they're much more slimming compared to scoop and crew necks which widen your figure.

Dress for your body shape

By knowing if you have a pear body shape (rounder bottom than top) or an inverted triangle (wide top than hips and legs), you'll know what type of swimsuits will flatter you the best. Like for example, if you have a heavier top than bottom you might look into tankini bottoms in light colors or have details to fill out your lower half. Most of the time, having a proportional hourglass body shape is the way to go no matter your size, because it looks balanced.
