Bikinis reveal every aspect of your body's shape and structure, and this is the reason why many women dread shopping for these items of swimwear. Likewise, even women who appear to others to have the perfect hourglass figure will find it challenging to shop for a sexy bikini that makes them look good.
To solve this dilemma, here are ten tips you might want to consider when shopping for a bikini that will enhance your figure.
1. Before you plan your shopping trip you should spend some time at your local tanning salon or buy a self-tanning or sunless lotion. When your skin has a bronze glow, you will look much better in any bikini you try on. Hint: If you choose to tan in a tanning bed, a stand-up tanning chamber, or a machine spray session, make sure to tan naked so you won't have any tan lines that will interfere with trying on a bikini.
2. Take your body measurements in advance of your shopping trip, and remember to take the sizes with you to the store. If shopping online, the same point is important. If the bikini has a label that indicates small, medium, or large, make sure you know what size you wear, and what the measurements mean. The measurements are better in inches or centimeters as sometimes a small can mean extra small, depending on the manufacturer.
3. When trying on a bikini you should pay attention to any excess bulges that show up while modeling the bikini in the mirror. If the swimwear pushes skin where it makes you look unflattering, then toss the suit aside and try on another style or a larger size.
4. Try on and purchase your swimsuit according to your figure. For example, if you have large muscular legs, or thick legs, do not choose a bikini bottom shaped like boy shorts. To appear slimmer due to being overweight you should try on a string bikini. If your legs are short, and you want to elongate your appearance, choose a high cut bikini bottom whose fabric rests above the hips. Tankinis are also good for making a tall and lean body look shorter and more proportionate.
5. Before you go shopping, make sure to shave or wax excess hair that might be revealed by a skimpy bikini style.
6. If you have exfoliated and moisturized your legs prior to your shopping trip, your body will look much more appealing when you're trying on those bikinis.
7. Every woman has a favorite color that complements her hair, skin tone, or eyes. Remember to choose a bikini that meets those standards. For example, if your skin is sallow colored, you might not want to buy a yellow bikini; rather you could choose black, chocolate brown, or bright blue.
8. If you already own accessories like sunglasses, sandals, or a beach cover-up, then think about buying a bikini that matches and compliments your accessories, so you don't have to start all over again and buy everything to match.
9. For the ultimate bikini shopping trip, you should start several weeks in advance with an exercise program that focuses on reducing your body's trouble spots such as your belly, your upper arms, or your hips. Bikinis always look better on a woman who has a firm body.
10. When you look at yourself in the mirror, try not to slouch. Slip into your bikini, and then stand tall and straight, with your shoulders pulled back and your chest thrust forward. If you have to, suck your tummy in and then turn slowly to check out every angle of how your body looks in the bikini. You should only buy the bikini that you feel comfortable wearing and one that fits you correctly and flatters your body type.
