How To Find Flattering Plus Size Swimwear
Shopping for women's swimwear can be a frustrating experience because swimsuits can show the most unflattering features. For plus size women, finding a figure flattering swimsuit can be a particular challenge. This lens aims to help plus size women determine their own unique shape and find flattering plus size swimwear.
Determining Your Body Shape
A guide to help find your body type
Hourglass
A woman who's hips and shoulders are balanced with a defined waist is an hourglass shape.
Women with this shape should look for bathing suits with an allover print or suits with a pattern defined waistline.
Shop for Hourglass Body Shape
Circle
If your waist is larger than your hips and shoulders, then you have a circle, or oval, shape.
Look for swimsuits with detailing at the top, or a halter or V-neck to draw the eye upwards. Shirred fabric around the waist also works well for this shape.
Shop for Circle Body Shape
Triangle
The triangle body type is defined as the hips being wider than the bust.
Swimsuits with a pattern, or light colored top with dark bottoms works best for this shape.
Shop For Triangle Body Shape
Inverted Triangle
This shape describes a woman who's shoulders are wider than her hips.
Look for suits that provide the support of an underwire bra. A suit with a skirt will help keep the look balanced. Also, a wide, square neckline can narrow wide shoulders.
Shop for Inverted Triangle Body Shape
Rectangle
Women with this shape are equally proportioned from the shoulders to the hips.
Suits with detail around the waist or diagonal stripes work well with this shape.

WHAT I LOVE
I love the selection of styles Ulla Popken offers in their swimsuits. Everyone has different taste in bathing suits, and Ulla Popken has several of each. I also love that the tank suits don't rise too high on the legs, and that they are all slim fit. The extra support makes the suit much more comfortable.
