Swimsuit Styles for Every Body Type

Posted by Alexandra C. | Tuesday July 3, 201224 comments


Oh, bathing suit season. Ugh. Swimsuit shopping is pretty much the most cringe worthy thing in the world, am I right? Seeing my pale body for the first time in months in the store's fluorescent lighting and having to constantly take off and put on my clothes seriously puts me in a cranky mood. Are you with me chicks?

The vintage is great...but all the swimsuits look appealing with the heat wave we're having!

I always go with Bandeaus where I'm small chested.
I've been looking for a retro bathing suit everywhere and can't find one in my size.
I Love that victoria secret one but it starts in a size 6... *sigh*

3 and 5 are definitely my favorites.

I love look #5 with the toms sunglasses and the retro bathing suit. I love that those are coming back into style because if the bikini trend continued getting smaller and smaller every year, pretty soon people would just be wearing strings worse than that orange thing Amber rose called a bikini.

I love 5 and 9 but I'd probably be better off with a two piece so I would totally go for 1!I've always had a problem with bikini tops not fitting my bust in the past

I'm a vintage girl so #5 screams my name. The price on the other hand... sigh!...

I find it so hard to find a swimsuit that fits. I am sure I am not alone! Out of all the ones you shown...I don't think any would fit me! :(

I love #5!

I love the Retro One-Piece. The colour is perfect, it brings out natural curves and flatters the bust. I would love a less expensive one though. Not on my budget.
