Swimsuit Myths De-Bunked! Make a Splash Now
Sometimes inaccurate ‘facts’ get tossed around so much that they are hardly ever disputed. So here’s to clear the air on some of the most common swimsuit or swimwear myths. Take a look below and see if you’ve been misinformed after all these years around the pool.
The myth:
“Skirts will make me look old.”
Reality:
There are some really cute and sexy. If you want more coverage down there and are not feeling the briefs, try a skirt! Get skirts that are short, adjustable, and flattering.
The myth:
“One pieces look great on people with curves, but I don’t have curves and just end up looking like a kid.”
Reality:
Pick out one pieces that have cut outs and deep necklines, which can give you some added curves!
The myth:
“I am small-busted women and need padding for an extra boost.”
Reality:
Smaller-chested women can wear deep necklines and bustier tops that would look risqué on other body types. Embrace what you’ve got!
The myth:
” I’m self-conscious about my stomach so I want to hide it by wearing a one piece. One pieces hide everything.”
Reality:
This can work sometimes with the right one piece. One piece that has shirring in the stomach, a busy print, or draping can work. If you’re concerned that you don’t appear to have a waist, you can go the one piece route by opting for one that has a contrasting top half and bottom half.
The myth:
“A classic midrise bikini is most flattering for plus sizes.”
Reality:
Bikini bottoms with side strings are your friend. You can easily adjust these to avoid unsightly lumps and bumps.
The myth:
“Black is the most slimming color option.”
Reality
Any other colour is just as complimentary. Make your swimsuit unexpected that actually looks better than black.
