Swimsuits For Plus Size Women

I am always fascinated by women who wear swimsuits of varying styles, colors, and sizes, basking their bodies in the beach. The figure of a woman is fully seen and accentuated as they wear swimsuits and enjoy the cool waters of the beach. During summer, may people, especially women take time to buy and shop for the perfect summer bikini, thong, and swim wear. In fact, today people with extra flabs in the body, don't have to worry about whether a swim wear will fit them nor not since there are plus size swim wear specifically design for women size 12 and above. Now, women can fully flown that sexy curves with grace and style.

There are three things that people look for when buying a swim wear. One is style or design, second is function and third is price. Sometimes, there are women who disregard comfort for the sake of fashion as they wear a bikini or thong. This is not to say that thongs or bikinis are bad to wear, but they pose problems when it comes to using it underwater. But nevertheless, they are fashionable and sexy as long as swimsuits are concerned.

Whenever I am in the beach and I see men wearing masculine trunks and women wearing revealing swimsuits, I feel that I'm in a Miss and Mr. Universe pageant or in a parade where bodies in different costumes are the spectacle or highlight of the show. It really makes me wonder why people have to allot time doing beach ritual and tradition of wearing swimsuits along with body accessories. Is it really just for the sheer pleasure of knowing that someone might be admiring or gazing at you because of your swimsuit? Or is it for your love of swimsuits?

Nowadays, a lot of teenagers and adults are imitating the fashion style of Hollywood actors and actresses. They want to know the latest fashion style in every clothing, not just swim wear, to follow their idols. There's nothing wrong with imitating Hollywood style as long as they feel happy and comfortable in what they wear. I am just saying this to emphasize that Hollywood celebrities have a big impact on the lives of the people.

Swim suits or swim wear as we know today is not how swim suits looked like several ages ago. During ancient times, when the concept of recreation bathing is conceived, people wore robes as they bathe. But there were findings of bikinis that are similar to how it looks like today. One way or the other, the Greeks are responsible for perceiving the notion of using bathing suits or swim wear. The bathing suits before are like togas that cover up the whole body. Eventually the decline during the Fall of Roman Empire, water was used for therapy and not for recreation anymore.

In the 1800's there is a return to using swim wear as people begin to go to beaches nearby during the transportation revolution in America. The swimsuit of the time were black stockings and bloomers. Men were only allowed by society to swim as there were dangers of being exposed in the nature of the swim suit. Over the years that follow, bathing suits are continually developed from one piece to two piece bathing suits until tankinis and other various styles arrive to accommodate the needs of women.

Nowadays, women with a few extra pounds don't have to settle themselves behind the sidelines as they can wear the same design or style of swim wear that think women can wear, with plus size swim wear. They can wear two piece bikini high tops and if they are shy, they can wear a bathing suit dress that looks equally elegant and hides those unwanted fats in the body.

One of the swimsuits for plus size women is Lane Bryant's Bow Front Swim Tank, which is a one piece swimsuit that has a V-neck accentuating the breast in a sexy and sophisticated way. The material characteristics are spandex and nylon which are perfect for handwashing and will not expand or widen when soaked in laundry. It fits the body well, escalating only the curves on the waist and on the butt, which gives out a perfect curve even though the woman wearing it is a size twenty.

This bathing suit has an empire waist cut and a soft cup breast, which combines comfort and sexiness in one. It also costs around $89.50. A sarong or a *colorful fabric* wrapped around the waist could elevate the sexy and sensual effect of this swimsuit. Now, even plus size women can draw the attention of the crowd as they wear this swim wear.

On one hand, Avenue Tropical Animal Swim Tank, which is a tank top swim wear with animal or tropical prints. It fits the body well without sagging when dip in water. It has a double strap for protection and has soft cup that will make swimming comfortable and enjoyable. The good thing about this top is that it has a contour bra that adds support and convenience to women. The color also of this suit is neutral black that can be paired to almost all kinds of bikinis or shorts. The drawback only of this bathing suit is that it doesn't have a bottom pair which is impractical since you have to buy another one just to pair this swim wear. Nevertheless, it's functional and attractive.
