BEST SWIMWEAR FOR YOU!

Teenage girls are particularly concerned about their body image.

Here are some tips for all the girls out there:

If you have very little waist, wear a two piece bathing suit that features piping or princess seams. These additions to a suit break up the body in a good way and bring about the appearance of a horizontal line. The waist is highlighted and defined which is what you want. Choose a top that has wide shoulder straps because these types of straps have more support and are more balanced looking.

For those whose stomach isn't quite flat the tankini is a good option. The tankini looks like a tank top with shorts, and you should wear one that allows the top half to end right where the bottom half begins. This will allow you to hide your stomach, and really give you a great deal more self confidence and comfort while enjoying a day in the sun!

If your thighs already tend to be a little heavy, be sure to choose a suit that has the legs cut a bit higher. The higher cut of the suit will help to give the impression of slimness and elongates the body. A suit that has just a tight elastic band at the top of the thigh area will make the thighs look bulkier. A pretty sarong or a cover-up go with the two piece suit goes far to minimizing the thick appearance of your thighs as well.

If your bottom is fuller, wear a swimsuit bottom in a dark color with a patterned top as this will serve to make people who look at you want to look up and away from your bottom half. It is a trick of the eyes that works. Do not wear a bottom that draws unwanted attention to this part of your body. Any detailing in the hip area of the suit is not welcome, such as ruffles, draping or any patterns.

ENJOY YOUR SUMMER!
