With every passing year, women continue to feel the pressure to improve and look their best at all times. When it comes to looking good, it’s not your size or shape that matters, it’s the fit of your clothes. Wearing the right clothes should not be about following the latest trends – it should be about what actually suits you and what makes you look appropriate.
The clothes which will suit you best will depend on your body shape. Nowadays, there is a wide variety of clothes providing something for everyone no matter what colour, scale, height, proportion or body shape you are. Knowing your body shape and understanding the types of clothes that will underline your good features means you will be able to dress in a way that really suits you.
Summer is round the corner and the reasons why you love summer are also why you hate it. This is a shout out to all those girls who have a rounded body shape, who have ever walked into a store on a mission to find the perfect swimwear in order to look good and thus getting that perfect swimwear before they leave, knowing that the search will probably be unsuccessful. They may even spend hours in a dressing room trying on one piece of swimwear after another knowing before they even snatched the item off the rack that it will probably not suit them. For all those girls who have left a store trying their hardest to gobble the sobs rolling up their throats because the self-assurance that they tried to build up before leaving the house to go shopping has been ripped apart, yet again.
Making reference to a case, which happened last week, of a Maltese teenager, Jessica Portelli who was subject to such an event while shopping. Jessica tried on a bikini, which according to another shopper like herself, was not appropriate for her to try it on. In my opinion, the random shopper has no say when it comes to what Jessica should or shouldn’t try on but I agree that if you carry most of your weight around your stomach area and you have an overall rounded body shape with a wide waist, you could look for women’s swimsuits with tummy control.
I do not want to sound rude or anything of the sort, but Jessica could look much better in a suitable swimsuit than in a bikini too small for her size. One-piece swimsuits have always been in fashion as they still define your body and give you curves. You will still look good by curtailing your figure and also keeping control to stabilize your silhouette.
The best thing is to be realistic about your body and accept the fact that wearing certain clothing might not be ideal for you. I am not discriminating girls of a certain body weight at all, but I simply want to make some of these girls aware that not every piece of clothing fits you well and should adapt to clothing that makes you look decent in front of others.
While I’m sure the “bikini body” struggle is one all women struggle with, I don’t doubt that it’s especially accepted within the plus community and that swimwear is the ultimate enemy of this ideology. Swim season involves exposing your body, and wearing what’s basically waterproof underwear out into the world, for all eyes who will likely judge you with accusations about your health or the “negative lifestyle” you have — it more importantly involves looking your best and wearing the right swim wear for your body.
