Reah Norman Picks The Best Swimwear for You . . .

I think that it is safe to say that most women, no matter what size, dread shopping for swimwear, so in order to make it a simple and painless experience; here are a few tips to keep in mind when looking for a new swimsuit.

The body type rules apply to all clothing, so they should be used when shopping for swimwear as well.  Wearing the right swimwear for you is all about balance, no matter what body type category you fit into.

APPLE SHAPES have softer and fuller middle with slimmer legs and bottom.

What to choose . . .

Evans Floral Tankini Top & Bottom is ideal because it is a bit looser fitting in the mid-section, and the V-neck top with wide straps is flattering and supportive for the bust area. Choose a mid-rise or high-rise full bottom with a tankini to offer ample support and coverage to the mid-section.

An apple shape can never go wrong with a Miraclesuit.  This beautiful Purple Miraclesuit has diagonal seaming and ruching, which creates a faux wrap look, with a built in ‘ tummy tamer ‘ panel, to smooth and minimize the tummy area.

PEAR SHAPES have curvaceous hips and bottom with smaller bust and shoulders.

What to choose . . .

The Evans Cross Front Morrocan Print Tankini & Berry Briefs is a great option for a pear shape.  The longer printed top skims the hips, the thicker straps balance out wider hips, and the plain briefs are simple, sleek and provide great coverage. Suits with a pattern on top and a darker solid on bottom are an ideal combination for a pear.

The Evans Fan Printed Dress Swimsuit has a skirted bottom that skims the hips and upper thighs to offer coverage.

SMALL BUSTS for those with a small bust the key to finding a perfect swimsuit is to add extra uplift to the top half of the body in order to add balance your silhouette.

What to choose . . .

The Evans Jade Halterneck Tankini Top & Brief is ideal for a small bust. The moulded, under wired cups create fullness and uplift, to make the bust appear larger.

The Evans Moroccan Stripe Swimsuit has horizontal stripes, which can make a silhouette look wider, so using them on the top half of the body will balance out your top half with your hips.

BUSTY A voluptuous bust with narrow hips and bottom, the most important element of a swimsuit should be bust support!

What to choose . . .

The Floral Miraclesuit will give bigger busted ladies a more flattering neckline, and the large floral print blends the bust area with the rest of the body.

The Evans Cross Body Swimsuit offers extra support for a heavier bust with padded cups, concealed shelf bra, and wider straps to support the chest and back.

Hourglass equally curvy bust and hips with a defined waist.

What to choose . . .

The Evans Twist Control Swimsuit is a great option for hourglass body types.  The built in side ruching helps define the waist and draws the eyes to the mid-section.  Also, the under wire and soft padded cups help enhance the bust.

The plunging v-neckline and wider straps of this Miraclesuit Plunge Swimsuit work to enhance the bust, while the ruching in the mid-section enhances the waistline.
