The Swimdress

The swim dress is back and more popular than ever. It's classic style and all over coverage is a great option for Diva's of all shapes. The swim dress is one solid piece which helps smooth over all trouble spots. This style is great for supporting the bust and minimizing the waist for apples. And the skirt helps with hips, butt and thighs for pears. Some swim dresses feature designs and clean lines to help add curves for rectangles and compliment the curvy hourglass shape. This style is a winner for all Diva's!

The Classic One Piece

This style can be a Diva's worst nightmare. The classic one piece is the reason some Diva's have been avoiding that trip to the beach. Not anymore! The classic one piece swim suit is more versatile than ever before with options for added support of bust, waist and hips, built in shapers and much more. And there is so much you can do with this classic style. You can add a wrap skirt for color, to accentuate curves, or throw on a stylish tunic for more out of the water activities.

Tankini

This classic style is mixes the comfort of a bikini with the coverage of a one piece. This style is great for those Diva's that want to show off their legs, minimize their waistlines and accentuate their bust. Like the skirtini, the Tankini is extremely versatile and interchangeable. Mix and match tops and bottoms to find your particular style. This one is great for apples.

Skirtini

The skirtini has the classiness of a swim dress with the versatility of a two piece. The skirtini, like the Tankini features interchangeable top, generally a halter, or tank style, and bottoms much like a 'skort' or 'scooter'. This style helps minimize hips, thighs, which is great for pears.

Shortini

You can bring out your inner tomboy in a shortini. Like the skirtini the shortini provides extra coverage for hips and thighs, and has the mix and match versatility. However the shortini is great for the Diva on the move. It is great not only for swimming but a variety of water and outdoor activities. This style looks like a flattering shorts and tanktop outfit, but you're ready if a someone busts out with the super soakers.

Plus Size Summer Accessories

Accessorizing is not optional for a Diva!

So you have found your perfect swim suit and you're ready to hit the beach! But when it comes to the beach, most women are less concerned with accessorizing than they are about finding their Coppertone. But there are so many delicious ways for the Beach Diva to accessorize.

The Perfect Pair of Shades

What Diva would leave the house without her best pair of sunglasses? Not only are they going to make you look smoking hot and mysterious, but don't forget the added benefit of preventing wrinkles and protecting your eyes from UV rays. Your sunglasses can also compliment and slim your face shape. Here are some quick tips for your perfect pair of shades.

  • Oval: Due to the length of your face you can get away with larger glasses. Go for big and round. Think Breakfast at Tiffany's.
  • Round: You can have a little fun and go with an angular frame to offset your round features. Otherwise try to avoid anything that adds bulk to your face. Try a more sporty frame. Think Ski-Bunny
  • Long: You can also get away with some bigger frames for this face type. Go for large aviator frames. Think Top Gun.
  • Heart: This shape is trickier. Find frames to offset your angular face without adding bulk. Try some retro 80's style frames. Think Rick Roll (yeah it's back).

    Flip Flops and Sandals

    When donning your hot new swim suit, footwear is a necessity. And finding the right sandals or flip flops can make or break your outing. Say... If you're going to find yourself walking great distances from the car to the water park or you have 100 feet of hot sand before you reach your beach towel, make sure your footwear is cute but comfortable.
    Bags and Totes

    The beach tote is the Diva Purse on steroids. Not only does your beach tote need to include your regular purse items (phone, wallet, etc..) you need to be able to carry a towel, sunscreen, your favorite novel, bottled water, the works! Make sure when picking up a bag or tote that you find one that is durable enough to withstand the elements (heat, sand, salt water, chlorinated water, etc...)
    And for extra safety keep a small water proof wallet to keep your money and credit cards on you and not in your bag.

    Waterproof Watch

    Time flies when you are having fun. And if you're a time conscience Diva having a waterproof watch is a must. There is nothing worse than having to interrupt your fun, run to your bag, and try to shake your hands dry to check your cell phone or regular watch to check the time.

    Tunics and Wraps

    Hot summer days can turn into cool summer nights fast. The savvy Beach Diva will always carry something to cover up with quickly. And tunics and wraps are way more attractive than wrapping yourself in the towel you just got off the ground.
