Swimwear for Every Sunseeker By Mindy Shoemaker
Ahhh, sweet summer, it’s finally here. Three precious months that seem to take forever to get here but fly by so quickly! As many citizens of this Great Lakes state, we try to jam as much as we can into these oh so short months. Camping, boating, swimming, or maybe some backyard sunbathing. This article is going to be all about BS……Yes, of course, I mean the dreaded bathing suit!
The 1st shape we are going to discuss is the Hourglass or X in the body shape system I work with. Your shoulders and hips are the same width with a significantly smaller waist and, if you gain weight, typically it’s distributed all over. The choices are many for this shape whether it’s a bikini, tankini, or one piece. High or low waist bottoms, halter, strapless, basic tops, the majority of swimsuits will look great on you so show it off!

I will be talking all things swimsuits, addressing specific body shapes but also some helpful tips for specific areas of challenge so you know what type of swimsuit to look for that is comfortable and looks great on you.
The 2nd shape I will address is the Pear or d shape. Your lower half is wider than your top and you typically gain weight in your behind, hips, and thighs. Swim dresses with an A-line shape and longer boy shorts are great for your body type. You will want to draw attention to your upper body by choosing V-neck or plunging necklines.
