The right swimsuit can make all the difference in the world, especially if you are more than ready to show off that figure you’ve worked so hard to hone all year. The key is selecting a suit that will flatter you while making just the right fashion statement. The following tips will help you make the right decision.

One piece or two? That is the question. It’s hard to decide whether or not you want to go a little more conservative and choose a one piece, or be brave and choose a two. When making this decision, the best way to decide is to try both types on before settling on a suit. Some one pieces may fit well while others may not, and the same is true of the two piece options.

Go with a suit that fits your body type. Some swimsuits are very fitting while others fit more loosely. Again, the best way to know what will work and what won’t is to try them on.

Decide how much skin you want to cover up. Many suits are rather skimpy while some are just downright revealing. There are also two piece suits that cover as much skin as would a tank top and pair of shorts. Other suits are made with short skirts sewn to the bottoms. So, as you can see, your options are endless. Choose what best fits you and most appeals to your fashion sense.

Take comfort into consideration. Sure you want to look great in your new suit, but you don’t want to be uncomfortable while wearing it. It’s okay to choose one that is very fitting, but it should not be so tight you won’t feel like wearing it for long. Likewise, your swimsuit should also not be too lose. Remember, water will change the way it behaves so you want to be sure it will stay on properly.

Lastly, choose a color that best suits you. Many people buy several swimsuits to have several colors from which to choose. There’s no reason why you can’t buy a suit that is practical, yet meets your fashion standards.
