NEW Swimwear Hacks for Wide Hips and Curvy Thighs
Here at Curvy Swimwear we love all body shapes and sizes. We encourage women to feel confident in the body they have NOW, not the one on their inspiration board. With this in mind, we understand that most of us focus on an area that we either love and want to show off, or more commonly, one we're not so keen on. Today, we're going to talk about wide hips and curvy thighs and how you can dress your body to look and feel fabulous.
THE HIGH CUT ADVANTAGE
The best way to fall in love with your wide hips and big booty, is to show them off. It might seem counter-intuitive, but a higher cut pant that shows more skin, is the best option for a curvy lower body. High cut styles elongate the legs and minimise the size of the hips and bottom, by lengthening the look and enhancing your shape. This 90s inspired look might not be for everyone, but it is well worth trying for a confidence boost.
SHOW OFF THE WAIST
Many women who are blessed with a curvy bottom half are also gifted with a smaller waistline. Think hourglass or pear shaped beauties with their fabulously dramatic hip to waist ratio. Accentuate this stunning shape by showing off your waistline in a swimsuit that cinches and draws the eye to your midsection. Embrace this envious shape and celebrate your gorgeous curves with a swimsuit that features details through the middle, like a waist band or wrap around style.
DISCOVER SWIM SKIRTS & DRESSES
As much as we want you to show off your hips and bottom with pride, we understand that there are times you just want to keep your goodies to yourself. A stylish and flattering way to do it at the beach or pool is with a swim dress or skirt. Layer these pieces over your swimsuit or bikini and feel feminine and fabulous as you keep your curves covered. You can swim, lounge and stroll in a swim dress or swim skirt.
SHOW OFF YOUR SHOULDERS
Choosing a swimsuit that either shows off the shoulders or adds volume with sleeves or frills, is a great way to divert the eye as well as balancing the proportions. A strapless swimsuit with a simple silhouette will show off your sunkissed shoulders and decolletage, taking attention away from the lower half. A frill sleeve V-neck style opens up the neckline creating width through the shoulders, balancing wider hips. The Acapulco cap sleeve one piece uses optical illusion to create a slimmer look through the midsection and hips, while widening the shoulders.
THE POWER OF PRINTS
Plain black swimwear is always the default, especially when it comes to "flattering" or "slimming" options. While we love a classic black swimsuit, prints are unsung heroes in the body confidence game. They work as distractions for the eye, with focus on the busy print rather than the silhouette. They can also act as an optical illusion when panelled with a contrasting block colour. If you are looking to minimise or detract the eye away from your curves, try a printed or panelled style and enjoy carefree confidence.
MIX & MATCH MAGIC
Swim separates are often a curvy girl's best friend. If you are rocking a bigger lower half and smaller top, separate tops and bottoms are going to work in your favour. Not only can you get the right sizes to fit your different proportions, but you can choose the styles that work best for your needs. For example, if you want to balance your pear shaped proportions, a patterned flouncy tankini top with a plain black pant works beautifully. You might even want to cover up your lower half with a more modest swim pant - separates allow you to mix and match endless combinations.
We encourage you to step out with confidence, no matter what your shape or size. If that means showing off your assets or keeping them under wraps, that's up to you. Curvy Swimwear is here with the perfect swimsuit to dress your curves in style so you can glow with Curvy Confidence.
