How to Pick the Best Swimsuit for Your Body Type: Hourglass Figure

We initiate the swimwear by body type series with the mythical mermaid of the swimming pool: our finely symmetrical hourglass figure. Like an over the top Busby Berkeley production, there’s excitement on all levels. Below are suggestions on how to make the most of it.

Outfitting a Memorable Memorial Day: Swimsuits for All Figures

As we pause to honor historical valour, we bravely step forward into the un-calendared start of summer. And what uniform could be more appropriate for this virginal seasonal tread than white. Parade this shade from optic to oatmeal and celebrate the surrender of winter’s sullying sludge.

In egalitarian fashion, please find a spread of swimsuits to flatter figures from straight to soft.

MIDDLE FIGURE

Boundaries and distraction-start with a strong center panel or high waisted bottom.  Add some type of embellishment be it a pattern, blousing, ruffles, or ruching.  Finish the set with a wedge sandal which adds height without looking overwhelmed by your center.

LOWER FIGURE

A one shoulder angle draws attention above while a sandal sans leg truncating ankle strap offers the legs maximum longitude.  For lower figure’s embellishments always belong on top.  For the bottom there are two leg options: A high cut legline will stretch a swimmer’s skirt will shield.

HOURGLASS

Tie a bow, draw an outline, block it in color, but ensure that the waist of an hourglass is featured.  Some supporting shirring or wrapping goes a long way in making sure your starring primary curves are not outshone by secondary or tertiary undulations.

LINEAR

Flirt around the figure with ruffles and pretty particulars.  Ruffles, feminine prints, and high necklines round out a boyish figure.

UPPER FIGURE

First and always, check for underwire and adequate support for the lady eggs.  Second, gain balance by broadening your hips against your bust and shoulders.  Use the visual optics of narrowing lines, lower leglines, and hip centered details to build out your narrower bottom half.

The most essential white accessory to include in  this holiday weekend is your smile.  Get it from the #1 most awarded whitening brand by beauty editors, Crest 3D White Intensive Professional Effects Whitestrips ($59.99).  Turnaround visible results in just one use, as stains are removed from below the enamel surface.  Wear strips for two hours, daily, for one week to enjoy the full transformation that would cost $500 in professional office treatments.

Begin and end your day with Crest 3D White Glamorous White Toothpaste and enjoy strengthened enamel and stain removal.  This glamour paste foams its proprietary micro-cleansing whiteners into every oral nook and cranny, which means your smile will be shinier top, bottom, and between.
