If you’ve never shopped at Swimsuits For All, they carry one of the largest ranges of plus size simwear you can find online. They carry brands such as Beach Belle, Delta Burke, Longitude by Robby Len, Liz Claiborne, Penbrooke, Beach Native and Maxine of Hollywood.

This summer season I haven’t actually bought a new swimsuit yet. I usually buy at least a new swimsuit every Summer, but this year I have been pretty happy with the ones I have, so did not see the need to. Then again, an extra swimsuit always comes in handy, especially when you’re living on an island, so anyway I headed over to Swimsuits For All and let’s say I managed to build up quite a hefty wish-list.

These are the 7 swimsuits that caught my attention… what do you think? Which one is your favorite?

1. This is the Longitude Spiked Leaves Plus Size Bandeau One Piece Swimsuit – it’s at the top of my list because I love strapless swimsuits. I think they are very flattering, and what’s worse than ending up with suntan lines of your shoulders and back?! A strapless swimsuit definitely helps prevent that. I love color in my swimsuits, and even though I own my fair share of one color, no print styles, I do love print! This looks very exotic and includes side shirring which helps flatter and slim your tummy – I definitely like that. It comes with a removable halter strap for additional support and adjustability – though I would probably end up not using that at all.

2. The Beach Belle Butterfly Print Plus Size Halter Tankini Swimsuit I thought was such a fun style! Although I have to say I am not to fond of halter necks – they tend to tire me out after a while and hurt my neck – I put this on my wish-list due to the cute and bright butterfly pattern it comes in. I think the mix pattern at the top, paired up with the one color bottom, is a perfect balance.

3. Again over here, with the Longitude Bella Plus Size Empire Plunge One Piece Swimsuit, there is even more of a balance with print and one block color. I think this swimsuit if a perfect choice for those who do not feel very comfortable with wearing a swimsuit with print all over, but would rather have a balance. The floral design is very feminine and elegant, and I’ve chosen it also as it features some of my very favorite shades or purple and pink. The V-neckline is very sexy and the empire wist will help minimize the tummy area by separating the bust line and the rest of the torso. Very handy!

4. If you prefer animal prints, rather than floral prints, then the Longitude Animal Cracker V-Insert Empire One Piece Swimsuit is definitely one you should take a closer look at. It comes in a very stylish and chic animal print, though this is not overdone as the bottom part (from the empire waist downwards) of this swimsuit is all black – again helping create a very slimming effect. I think this is a very chic style!

5. Another floral and exotic print, I’ve included the Beach Belle Botanica Plus Size Blouson Tankini Swimsuit in my wish-list, as I love the bright and vibrant green colors. Besides, I’ve never worn a tankini before which includes a blouson style top, so I am very interested to see whether this style camouflages the tummy well – it is said to be a very flattering style.

6. If you are a regular Plus Size Clothing Scoop reader you should know that I am one who loves colors, and rarely wear black – unless it’s jazzed up somehow with some colorful accessories. However I had to include a black swimsuit in my wish-list because sometimes only black will do. Although choosing a great swimsuit to fit your body and flatter your figure is essential, with swimsuit you are truly putting on display all your curves – there is pretty much nowhere to hide – so on days when I feel bloated, or feel a bit less confident, a black swimsuit will do just the trick. That is why the Longitude® Cobra Plus Size Twist Plunge Swimsuit is in my wish-list – although a black swimsuit you will notice this style is spiced up with ‘cobra’ style shiny brown trim. It also comes in a plunging V-neckline and twist front to enhance the bust and add that touch of sexiness to the swimsuit. So this is definitely not your usual, boring, shapeless black swimsuit!

7. The final items on my whilst is the Longitude Sun Burst Plus Size Surplice One Piece Swimsuit. The bright yellow pattern immediately caught by eye when I was browsing around Swimsuits For All. This swimsuit features a faux surplice style, which gives it a modern twist and flatters the tummy area. A V-neckline is also present here (have you noticed I love V-necklines?) giving this swimsuit a touch of sexiness.

1. Use the Power of Color to Camouflage Wide Hips
Whether you choose a one piece swimsuit for wide hips or a bikini, the color you choose can have a big impact on how large your hips appear. Dark colors tend to make areas look smaller while light colors expand them. If you opt for a one piece swimsuit, choose one that has a dark color block around the hip area and a lighter color on top. The lighter color will call attention to the chest, waist, and shoulders while the darker color on the bottom will visually reduce the size of your hip area. You can use the same principle for a two-piece or bikini. Choose a dark color for the bottom and a light color for the bikini top. A bold graphic bikini top will also call attention to the upper half of your body and draw attention away from your wide hips.

2. Choose a Swimsuit for Wide Hips with a High Cut Leg
Another way to deal with wide hips is to choose a swimsuit that makes your legs look longer. One of the most effective ways to do this is to choose a suit with a high-cut bottom. This will visually add length to your legs, making the hip area less noticeable. A higher cut leg will also make your legs appear slimmer.

3. Choose a Swimsuit for Wide Hips with a Mini-skirt Bottom
A mini-skirted bikini bottom can be quite flattering on wide hips as long as you stay away from too much detail. Forget the ruffles on the skirt. Concentrate the ruffles on the upper half of your body to call attention away from your lower half. A simple, ruffle trimmed mini-skirted bottom in a dark color may be all that’s needed to slenderize your hips.

4. Draw the Eye to Your Upper Half
When choosing a swimsuit for hide hips, select a swimsuit top with bold graphics or lots of pretty detailing to draw the eye upwards. Wear some fun sunglasses or a big straw hat to balance out your lower half. Add a pretty pendant on a chain that catches and reflects the light.

5. Choose a Swimsuit for Wide Hips with Diagonal Stripes
Choose a swimsuit with diagonal or vertical stripes along the sides of your torso and hip area. This will give you a natural slimming effect and can make your torso look longer and slimmer.

6. Wear a Fashionable Cover Up
One of the best ways to cover up wide hips and still look fashionable is to wrap a sarong around your bathing suit bottoms Add a pair of sandals and you’re ready for a casual lunch on the boardwalk.

Don’t forget to fake a good tan by wearing a self-tanning cream. Tan skin gives you the illusion of being slimmer and more toned. Most of all, enjoy your day at the beach!

Decide if you want to look pregnant or cover it up.
If you don’t mind showing off your pregnancy a bit, you can choose from a variety of one piece styles that will show off your expanding abdomen such as an empire tank or a keyhole style swimsuit. If you’re a bit more modest, you can opt for a style with a flouncy skirt such as a baby doll style with a halter back. A flouncy skirt can look stylish while making you feel a bit less self conscious about your expanding abdomen.

Plan for your expanding abdomen.
As your abdomen continues to grow in size, you may not want to invest in another swimsuit. To avoid this, choose a suit with tie closures as opposed to clasps. As your abdomen distends, you can simply adjust the ties to accommodate your expanding girth. This can be a big time and money saver.

Reconsider basic black.
Although a solid black swimsuit is slimming when you’re not pregnant, it does little to distract the eye away from your growing abdomen when you are. Try on a print one piece maternity swimsuit and you may find the pattern draws eyes away from your abdomen and towards your upper body and face. A print halter swimsuit top with a center pleated skirt paired with a simple tie bottoms can be very flattering. One piece maternity swimsuits come in such an array of colors and patterns these days that there’s no need to stick with basic black. Experiment a bit and find a shade and pattern that expresses your personal style and makes you feel good.

Be sure you’re supported on top.

As your breasts expand in size, you’re going to need adequate support. The best option may be a shelf bra with underlying elastic. If you’re smaller breasted, a bandeau style or halter top with soft cups or even a strapless style may work best although a strapless style may be impractical if you plan on swimming laps in the pool.

Choose your material.
Cotton is a nice fabric for swimwear because it bleeds but a suit with some lycra has its advantages because it expands as your abdomen does. That added stretch can be important as your pregnancy progresses.

Decide if you’ll be swimming or merely sunning.
If you plan on swimming laps in the pool for exercise, a tank style one piece is probably your best choice. If you’ll be spending most of your time in a beach chair or walking along the shoreline, you can choose a less practical and more stylish type of one piece maternity swimsuit.

You don’t have to dread shopping for a one piece maternity swimsuit. The fashion world has responded to a woman’s desire to be stylish during her pregnancy by design lots of flattering options. Have fun selecting your suit!

Color and pattern play a key role in how a swimsuit looks on you. Subtle gradations in color and pattern can trick the eye visually and give the illusion of slimmer tummies and firmer behinds. Here are some tricks that will help you select a figure flattering swimsuit that naturally enhances the beauty of your body:

Use the Power of Color Blocks or Stripes
Blocks or stripes of color are a great way to hide those areas you’re not so proud of and enhance the ones you feel more comfortable with. Keep in mind that dark colors cause an area to recede while lighter ones create fullness. Bright colors also tend to give the illusion of more volume. When you select a one piece bathing suit, keep these principles in mind. If you’d like to play down your hips, choose a swimsuit with a dark color block in that region. You can further draw attention away from your hips, by having a light or bright color block on the upper portion of your body. As an example, for wide hips a simple one piece, tank style bathing suit with a black color block on the bottom and a white one on top can  be flattering.

To make your bust line appear fuller, choose a suit with block or stripe of bright color around the chest area. Another trick to slim down the body is to choose a tank style bathing suit with a black color block extending down each side. This tends to give the illusion of a more narrow body. If you want to look taller and slimmer, select a tank with vertical stripes. This principles can really work to enhance your natural physique.

Use the Power of Prints
Prints can also trick the eye and have an impact in how you look in a bathing suit. If you’re self conscious about being too thin, look for a figure flattering swimsuit with a bold, exciting print in bright colors. This applies to both one piece suits and bikinis. If you’re heavier and want to play down your size, you can still wear prints but choose a smaller one with a dark background and less contrast. This tends to have a slimming effect. You can use the color block concept here too. If you have a boyish upper body but carry a little too much around the hips, choose a swimsuit with a bold, graphic top and a simple, dark bottom. Prints have the power to subtly alter the way your body parts look in a swimsuit.

Use Fabric Texture Contrasts
Another principle to consider when choosing a figure flattering swimsuit is the texture of your fabric. If you have a slim, boyish figure, swimsuits made of shinier materials can be flattering as they tend to make you look larger. If you’re trying to play down certain areas, choose darker, duller, more opaque colors which will cause the eye to recede. Again, use this principle to play up the parts you want to enhance and draw the eye away from figure flaws.

Using the principles of pattern and color to select a figure flattering swimsuit can make the job of bathing suit shopping much more fun. Think of it as an artistic challenge and create the beach body you want to have this summer!

1. The Monokini
This may be one of the worst bikini styles inflicted upon women so far, although it’s unlikely you’ll see it on the beaches of America. This is not because there aren’t people willing to wear it but because they might get arrested if they do. The monokini is really just another term for a topless bathing suit. This swimsuit was the brainchild of a European designer by the name of Rudi Gemreich who introduced this swimsuit style to the world in the mid 1960’s. Needless to say, it brought a firestorm of criticism from more conservative institutions and met with only short term commercial success, lasting only a season. Its influence is still being felt today as swimsuit designers use this principle to create skimpier swimsuits with less fabric. Although monokinis are still being manufactured, you probably won’t find them in their original form on the racks of most mainstream department stores. They’ve been transformed into bathing suits with strategic cutouts that are more socially acceptable but still a bit risqué.

2. The Thong
After Gemreich introduced the monokini in the mid 1960’s, he wasn’t finished yet. Undaunted by the lack of long term, commercial success of the monokini, he introduced the world to another ridiculously revealing bikini style, the thong. This little number was met with greater enthusiasm and more commercial success even though it still left a great deal of skin exposed. Even more significantly, the bikini thong wasn’t going to win any awards for comfort. Leaving most of the butt exposed to wondering eyes, it’s a bikini style that’s not for the faint of heart. It also requires a few trips to the gym if you’re over the age of twenty. This style is probably best worn in the bedroom.

3. Metallic Styles
There’s already enough glare on the beach. Why add to it by wearing a shiny, metallic bathing suit? Metallic styles run the gamut from solid colored suits in bright silver, gold, copper, and even a variety of metallic colors to bikinis with metallic accents. Although these styles certainly attract attention so does a metallic red fire truck. Both are probably best found off the beach.

4. Sheer and See Through
The monokini in its original form might not be around any more but you can still reveal almost everything in a sheer or see through bathing suit style. It’s nice to know there’s freedom of choice but some things are better left to the imagination.
