If you've always thought you didn't have the shape for wearing sexy swimsuits, think again. Here are a few hints that will help you make the most of what you've got, and take the emphasis off body areas you're not as happy with, so you'll feel confident wearing that sensuous summer swimwear.
The Secret of Sexy Swimsuits
Sexy swimsuits are a lot like Prince Charmings. You'll have to kiss a lot of frogs under fluorescent lights before you find the one. When shopping for sexy swimwear, it's important to know your body shape and what works best for it. The other thing you'll need is an open mind to try on styles you're a bit wary of. Just because it's nothing like anything you've worn before, doesn't mean you shouldn't give it a shot.
Now that we've discovered one secret to finding the perfect bikini or one-piece, how about another? Sunless tanner. Apply a layer one or two days before you plan to find your suit. It'll instantly make you appear sexier and slimmer--two components of the confidence recipe. With confidence on your side, you'll be more open to the sexy swimsuits of the season.
Apple Girls
If your tummy is your trouble area, your answer is the tankini. It's still a two-piece, but it will cover the majority of your midsection. Your result? A sleeker looking middle. If you're interested in a one-piece, you can still find tummy slimming, yet sexy swimsuits. Sue Rice has a special section just for creating the illusion of a flatter middle.
Pear Babes
A lot of pear-shaped girls feel like they should cover up their bottom halves as much as possible to make them visually shrink. In that train of thought, they reach for boy shorts. Guess what? Those can actually make you look wider through the hip/butt area. Choose a high-cut leg instead. For tops, consider an "add-a-cup" or enhancing push-ups like those found at Victoria's Secret. You'll move attention away from the problem area, and direct it toward one of your better assets.

Steer clear of most triangle tops and go for pieces that will give you ample support and coverage. You'll be much more comfortable physically and mentally if you opt for a suit with underwire to keep your girls in place. If you want to flaunt your mid-section or lower half, go with a scooped bottom for a sexy silhouette.

Ah, you're the envy of the women's world! You can wear whatever you like. Experiment with patterns and colors. White and black look stunning against a tan. Got blue eyes? Play them up in a turquoise halter. The possibilities are endless for your perfect proportions.

For competitive swimming as well as aquatic fitness activities, such as lap swimming and water aerobics, a good swimsuit will increase your efficiency in the water, keep you feeling comfortable during your activity, and stand up better to the deteriorating effects of chlorinated water than most fashion swimsuits.

- When to Replace Your Swimsuit
To determine your swimsuit size, you'll need to measure yourself using a tape measure.
Measuring Tips
- Take your measurements while wearing only your underwear
- Stand in front of a mirror
- While measuring, make sure that the tape measure is straight, not twisted
- To get an accurate measurement, the tape measure should be snug, but not pinching or tight
Step-by-Step Measuring Guide
- Find your natural waistline by bending to one side. While standing straight, measure around your waistline
- Men should measure just above the hipbone (or about an inch below your natural waistline) to determine the appropriate swimsuit size
Find Your Size
- If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size in a racing/competition suit and the larger size in an aquatic fitness suit
- Most men's suits are sized based on waist measurement. Men should choose the size that corresponds with their waist measurements.
| Determining Your Suit Size | |||||||||
| Men's Swimsuits | |||||||||
| Size | 24 | 26 | 28 | 30 | 32 | 34 | 36 | 38 | 40 |
| Waist | 24 | 26 | 28 | 30 | 32 | 34 | 36 | 38 | 40 |
Determine How You'll Use Your Suit
To select the right suit, first determine the activity for which you'll be wearing the suit most often:
- Racing/Competitive swimming which includes both practicing and racing at either the school or club level
- Aquatic Fitness which includes activities such as lap swimming and water aerobics
Racing/Competitive Swimming
- For both training and competition, competitive swimmers need high-performance suits that maximize speed in the water and improve glide times by reducing drag and increasing water flow.
- Many swimmers buy separate suits for training and competition. For both training and competition, compression, resulting in a tight fit, is the key.
Sizing
- For training, buy your normal size, but realize that the fit will be snugger than that of a regular fashion swimsuit
- For competition, consider buying a suit at least one size smaller than your training suit
Construction
- Support
- Swimsuits for both training and competition support through compression
- Lining
- Suits for top-level competition are not lined, since reducing drag is a priority. However, many men's suits for training are front-lined.
- A suit with lining will generally last longer, and hold its shape and color better than an unlined suit
Styling
- Men's competition and training suits have moderately cut leg openings, drawcords in the interior of the waistband, and side seams of about 3-inches
- For men wanting more coverage, training suits with lower leg openings and side seams up to seven-inches are available, but they are not the norm for training or competition
Fabrication
- Although there are many hybrid fabrics for racing/competitive swimming available, most swimsuits for this sport are done in blends of nylon/spandex. (Lycra is a specific brand of spandex made by DuPont and is found in many swimsuits.)
- Improvements in fiber engineering have resulted in swimsuit materials that are more resistant to chlorine than ever. Suits for racing/competitive swimming typically use these more durable versions of nylon and spandex.
Aquatic Fitness
- For lap swimming and water aerobics, you will need a suit that provides comfort and freedom of movement, plus coverage and support
- Men will find training suits designed for the competitive swimmer to be most appropriate for lap swimming for fitness
- Fit should be snug but not tight. A good fitting suit will stay in place during vigorous movement, but not pinch, bind or ride up in the seat.
- Despite the advances in fiber technology, chlorine will eventually deteriorate swimsuit fabrics. When your suit begins to bag or feels looser than when it was new, it is time to replace your suit.
How to Select a Little Girl's Swimsuit
By eHow Fashion, Style & Personal Care Editor
It may seem like it wouldn't take much thought to select a swimsuit for a little girl. However, there are several factors that come into play for little girls and their swimsuits. They need to be comfortable, maintenance-free and provide adequate coverage. Read on to learn more.
Difficulty: Easy
Step1
Check for comfort and fit. When selecting a swimsuit for your little girl, it's important to try the suit on her. Let her move in it in the dressing room. If it's restrictive in the dressing room, it's not going to be comfortable on the beach. In the same sense, if the straps are continually dropping off of her shoulders, the suit is not going to be comfortable, either.
Step2
Determine the fabric-type and read the care instructions. If a suit is going to require hand washing or special treatment, then it's not going to be a very practical suit for the summer. White or light-colored suits get dirty easier when going to the beach. Darker colored suits endure stains better. However, darker suits tend to fade out more in the sun. A suit devoid of lots of accessories or trim will wash better, too.
Step3
Ensure proper coverage of the suit. If the suit is continually slipping or falling in the chest or bottom areas, it's not going to provide adequate coverage. Additionally, if your child is extra sensitive to the sun, a one-piece suit will be better than a two-piece suit. Some suits come with "extras" such as a cover-up or a sarong. These suits are always good because they provide extra coverage.
Step4
Check the lining. Every little girl's swimsuit should include a lining in the crotch area. Little girls are just as susceptible to yeast infections as adults and need a good lining in the bottoms of their swimsuits, too.
