How to look slimmer when wearing a swimsuit

No matter what your body type is, you can make yourself look slim and feel confident when you wear a swimsuit. The key is to choose a swimsuit style that suits your body type, for example, a larger chest is suitable for wearing a swimsuit with a hanging neck. Swimsuits with fine lines, small polka dot patterns or ruffles can trim the curves of your body. Keeping a straight standing posture can also make a person appear slimmer. Pick a suitable swimsuit and go have fun in the sun!

Methods
1
Slim your figure with a two-piece or one-piece swimsuit

1
If you have an hourglass figure, choose a bikini swimsuit. An hourglass figure is characterized by a slimmer waist and a similar bust and hip circumference. A bikini will draw attention to your curves and further accentuate a slim waist. If you have larger breasts, you can wear a swimsuit with more upper body coverage.
Don’t wear a mismatched bikini because it won’t accentuate the advantages of your body proportions. When wearing a two-piece swimsuit, be sure to choose the same color and pattern.
People with hourglass figures have a variety of options when it comes to choosing bikini bottoms. You can choose a traditional bikini or a Brazilian style, the latter with a higher cut bikini pants.
To accentuate the advantages of an hourglass figure, it is best to choose a style with thin straps and a henley neckline when wearing a one-piece swimsuit.

2
If you have a triangular figure, choose a bustier style swimsuit. A triangle shape is characterized by a larger hip and leg circumference and a smaller bust. A bustier style top is perfect for this body type because it accentuates a toned upper body. If you are worried about the lower half of your body looking too bulky, dark-colored boxer shorts can reduce other people’s attention to that area.
People with triangle-shaped bodies can wear either traditional bikini bottoms or boxer shorts.
If you want to wear a one-piece swimsuit, you can choose a style that has no straps on the top and tapers from top to bottom for more coverage.

You should choose a swimsuit with a neckline for an inverted triangle figure. A figure with wider shoulders, larger chest and smaller hips is an inverted triangle figure. This figure should choose a top style that provides full support with a neck tie or a strong steel ring. It can support the chest, making the chest line more beautiful and making you look slimmer.
If you wish, those with an inverted triangle body can choose traditional bikini pants or Brazilian style bikini pants. Smaller bikini pants can accentuate a toned lower body.
These principles apply to both one-piece and two-piece swimsuits. You should choose styles that provide support for the upper body and less coverage for the lower body.

If you have an “apple” shape, choose a swimsuit with an asymmetrical neckline. People with an “apple” shape have broad shoulders and a thicker waistline. A swimsuit supported by a slanted shoulder strap can attract others to look upward and make the waist look slimmer. Choose traditional bikini bottoms or boxer shorts.
This advice applies to both one-piece swimsuits and two-piece swimsuits.
If you have a particularly full waist or a certain area, try to choose a swimsuit with a larger coverage area.

5
If you have a rectangular figure, choose a swimsuit with embellishments. People with rectangular figures are usually closer in bust and hip circumference, and the waistline is not very visible. In order to look slim and have a slim waist, you must choose a swimsuit with ruffles, ribbons on the top and/or bottom, or a style with other decorations on it that can draw the eye.
You can choose such decorated swimsuits, both one-piece and two-piece. However, when wearing a one-piece swimsuit, you should choose a style that has a belt or a cutout at the waist.
In this case, the bottom can be chosen at will between bikini pants to flat shorts.

Use swimsuit details to make yourself look slim

1
Choose the right color. Dark colors usually have the best slimming effect. A black or navy blue swimsuit can make your body curves more visible. Swimsuits with dark color blocks or cut-outs that “clash” with the body can also accentuate the curves and make the body appear slimmer.

2
Choose a slimming line. Thin horizontal stripes can give the appearance of an hourglass figure. If you want to look taller and thinner, thin vertical stripes would be more appropriate. Although dense vertical stripes have a nice slimming effect, it’s best not to wear swimsuits with denser horizontal stripes because they can make your torso look wider.
Don’t wear swimsuits with wider vertical stripes because they can make your swimsuit look like a sweatshirt.
You can also mix and match swimsuits. Pair solid-colored bottoms with striped tops to flatter the curves of your chest.

3
Choose smaller floral prints. Larger geometric prints or floral patterns do not flatter the figure well. However, smaller patterns or motifs can beautify body curves. For example, polka dots are minimalist patterns with a good finishing effect.

4
Choose ruffles and textures. When located in the middle of the swimsuit’s torso area, pleats or tucks can make the waist appear slimmer. A swimsuit with layers of fabric all over the body can also divert other people’s attention from your body.

5
Choose a body-shaping swimsuit. Some swimsuits include extra lining that can make body curves appear more graceful. If you want a swimsuit that doesn’t interfere with movement and still makes you look slim, a shapewear swimsuit is a good choice. These types of swimsuits with extra support features may be slightly more expensive.
People with larger breasts can also buy swimsuits with strong steel rings. For added support, you can even apply waterproof medical tape to the cleavage area inside the swimsuit.

Pick swim trunks that flatter your figure

1
Choose the right size or inside leg seam. The swimsuit must fit well, without any sagging and without any gaps between the skin and the fabric. Look in the mirror from different angles to make sure nothing is too tight anywhere, causing the flesh to be squeezed out. If you are less than 167 centimeters tall, you can choose swim trunks with an inside leg seam of 15 centimeters or less in order to appear taller. When you are taller than 167 cm, the inner seam of the trouser leg can be more than 15 cm.
2
Choose slim-fitting swim trunks. Swim trunks with a slim fit will hug your body, but they won’t be too tight or restrict movement. They will make you appear slimmer and fit better on your body. Conversely, loose fitting swim trunks will bulge out and make your body type look larger.

3
Choose swim trunks that have a supportive mesh lining. These swim trunks are designed with an extra layer of mesh lining underneath to smooth out the curves of your body. Whether loose fitting or slim fit, these swim trunks have this mesh lining. Be sure to try them on before you buy, as you may not like the feeling of the mesh lining rubbing against your skin.

4
Buy swimsuits with laces. Swimsuits with a flat placket, zipper and ties are suitable for almost all body types of men. They will make your body look toned and strong on the front. You also don’t have to worry about buttons or Velcro coming loose when swim trunks are laced.

5
Choose swim trunks that have a line on the outside of the thigh. This is the male version of a clashing swimsuit. You can choose light-colored swim trunks that have a dark, thick line on the outer thigh area. You can also wear dark colored swim trunks that have a lighter line. This line will elongate your body shape and make you look slimmer.

6
Wear a surf suit. If you don’t want to be naked outside or want to strengthen your protection from the sun, try wearing a surfsuit. This type of clothing is made of lightweight, quick-drying material. To trim your figure, choose a surf suit that is not too big or too small. The fabric will only rub the edges of your skin when you put it on, which means it’s a good fit.
Surfwear comes in a variety of colors and cut styles to match your various swim trunks.

Make your whole body look slimmer

1
Wear a cover-up. Find a light or dark colored swimsuit cover-up, tie it loosely in a knot, and tie it around your waist. You can also wear a sheer cover-up similar to a beach dress, but it will get wet. Wearing it this way will look very casual. They will be more slimming compared to a beach towel wrapped around the waist.

2
Do a spray stereo tanning. You can get a professional esthetician to do a spray tan for you, or you can use a self-tanning kit and get yourself a tan. Make sure the tan is only a little darker than your natural skin tone. Excessive tanning may leave your skin wrinkled or orange-red in color.
If you are using a self-tanning product, be sure to read the instructions on the package carefully. For best coverage, you may need to hold the spray bottle at a specific angle.
Dimensional tanning creates shadows and highlights on the body for tanning purposes.
If you choose to go to a salon and receive a spray tan from a professional esthetician, ask the technician to do a patch test to ensure that the color you are happy with does not leave your skin orange-red.

3
Stand up straight. When walking in a swimsuit, tuck your shoulders back and hold your head up. When sitting, hold your hands around your knees so they are close to your chest. This will make your waist and thighs appear slimmer.

4
Try wearing a hat that makes an impression. Choose a hat that fits the swimsuit. You can wear a straw hat when you have a bohemian print on your swimsuit. The hat can attract people to look upwards. It can also block out the harsh sunlight. [15] It works even better if you tie your hair into a bun or ponytail and hide it in a hat. Doing so makes your neck appear slender and gives you an overall slimmer look.

5
Stay in shape. Try pairing cardio and weight training with exercise at least five times a week. Doing so will strengthen your body and make you look slimmer in a swimsuit. Doing a quick 30-minute workout before putting on your swimsuit will also help, as the muscles will remain activated for about five hours.
Hula hooping is a very effective exercise if you want to look slimmer around the waist before putting on a swimsuit. Try hula hooping 3 times per week for an hour each time.

6
Healthy eating. Eating smaller, more frequent meals will keep your metabolism at a faster rate. Eat more fresh produce, whole grains and healthy fats. If you want to look thinner, don’t eat foods that cause bloating for 10 days before you wear your swimsuit.
Beans, broccoli, spinach and starchy foods can cause bloating and are not conducive to appearing leaner. Reducing salt intake will also help
