n o i h s a F With such a variety of swimwear on the market these days, one cannot help but feel overwhelmed in choosing the best swimsuit to bring out the best version of yourself and to give you the best value for money. Below is a guideline which you can take along with you to your next swimsuit shopping expedition and make sure that you look fabulous and chic no matter your body type. Bathing Suits for Large Chests What to look for: Underwire is key, but wide or adjustable straps, boning, seamed cups and sturdy linings help lift the chest, shouldn’t be forgotten. Other ancillary support features, like high necklines, full coverage at the armholes, or halters with wide bands under the breasts, also help. You should also embrace the bikini. “In some cases, a two-piece is actually better, because you have a band of support all the way around the back,” says Linda Sassoon, president of Gottex USA. What to avoid: Skimpy styles that gape open or lack structure, like triangle tops. Source: http://www.realsimple.com/beauty-fashion/clothing/shopping-guide/swimsuit-guide-body-type
