Last summer days!

My girls and I – @the beach this weekend!

As we reach the end of summer, many of us may have a few holidays planned in the very near future. Summer holidays generally mean investing in a whole hoard of new summer clothes. Swimwear is one such must-have item in any girl’s summer wardrobe, but luckily now there are a lot of sales and promotional prices so you can invest in some really cool swimwear!

If you have an apple shaped figure, a great investment is a tankini. Not all tankinis need to be super tight and such a style is a great look if you wish to hide any flaws. The tankini offers a longer length top and often comes complete with boy style shorts, which offer a lot more coverage than your standard string bikini.

Another great investment is a miracle suit; this particular style of swimsuit is a must-have for those with a fuller figure as it enhances your assets, hiding any imperfections. Choose a darker colour such as black or navy blue as opposed to a heavily patterned swimsuit. Darker  colours are always more slimming and therefore flatter the fuller figure. You can check out a few plus size clothing stores and pick out various swimsuits that best suit your figure.

Detailing such as a bow at the bust can work wonders on a fuller figure,  as it will draw the eyes upwards and away from other areas. It is also a great feminine touch that will add that little extra to your style!

Bright swimsuits are a great investment if you wish to get in the holiday mood and also a great way to brighten up any summer wardrobe.  If you must invest in a print-style suit, opt for a floral design in more muted tones. Floral patterns were a feature on every summer catwalk. Team such a design with beaded accessories, again in muted shades, in order to finish your look with a bit of sophistication.
