It’s almost that time again.  Swimsuit season is just around the corner.  So if you are like me, you gather up all the courage you can and make a plan to go swimsuit shopping.  You enter the fitting room with a handful of swimsuits, hoping to find one that you can live with.  Let’s face it, very few women, no matter what size they are, like the way they look in a swimsuit.

Although there is a ton of pressure to be exceptionally slender and toned, most women will never have that body-type.  The truth is the majority of women don’t have the genetics, the metabolism or the resources to look like super skinny supermodels or celebrities.  So when you’re shopping for swimwear, you have to look for something that will accentuate your positive features and camouflage your trouble spots.  Knowing what swimsuit styles flatter your body-type is essential to achieving swimsuit success.

To learn what styles flatter your body type, check out Cindy Alpers article, “Find the Right Swimsuit,” Vanessa Lausch article “How to Choose the Right Swimsuit,” and e-How’s article “How to Choose the Right Swimsuit.”
