How to Shop for a Bikini

How to Shop for a Bikini



Bikini shopping can be so intimidating. You must go when you are feeling and looking best. Read below for my suggestions on how to get that great bikini and leave the store with your sanity still intact.







Things You'll Need:





all the self confidence you have



self tanner



lots of time









Step
1



Prepare the night before. Skin looks more firm and tone when it is tan. However, tanning beds are not the best method. Give yourself a quick tan at home the night before. When you are standing under the bright lights in the dressing room the next day you will be happy you did.




Step
2



Give yourself lots of time. Make sure you have the time to devote to finding a bikini that is just right.




Step
3



Pick several styles. Large breasts need support. Look for underwire and cups that have support under the breasts and sufficient straps. Short legs? Try a bottom that is cut high to elongate your legs. If you have a tummy and want to cover it up, try a tankini. Look for one in a solid with small details or embroidery. Large prints only draw attention to the areas that they cover.




Step
4



See yourself from every angle. Make sure that you view yourself in the mirror that allows you to see your backside as well as your profile. A bikini may look great from the front but the side and back view may reveal something you wish you'd kept covered.







Tips & Warnings









Keep an open mid. Try suits that may not seem like your style. You never know until you try it on. It may work wonders for you shape.








Don't forget about slimming one pieces. There are suits that are built with breast lifters and tummy tuckers-and they work!








You may or may not want to take a friend. If you can handle the truth take along a friend that you know you can trust their opinion.
