Don’t let Swimwear Shopping get you down!!
At Ruby Slippers we know most people rate shopping for swimwear somewhere between a bikini wax and root canal surgery.
But, it doesn’t have to be this way! If you know what you’re looking for before you find yourself in the changing room knee deep in discarded options, then the process can be much less painful.
So, let us help you freshen up your swimwear collection, we have the hottest new styles which are in store now.
Firstly, it is important to remember there are 20 supermodels on this planet…if you are not one of them, then be kind to yourself in the changing room.
Secondly, know and understand your body shape. Pick the areas which you would rather draw attention to and know the areas you would rather hide. Knowing the style you’re looking for, will prevent you from taking 37 different options into the changing room!
If you have a larger bust, choose tops with underwire and straps. The wider the strap the smaller your bust will appear, and the more balanced your hips and thighs will look.
For smaller busts, experiment with ruffles, patterns and embellishment. String triangle bikinis look great and if you want maximum cleavage go for a padded bra (Seafolly bikinis give a fantastic shape to the bust)
Looking for tummy control? One piece swimsuits or tankini styles with ruching around the waist will make you appear slimmer. There are loads in the stores in some great colours, so forget black and go with something patterned.
We love Nancy Ganz:
If you have an athletic build look for halter neck styles to draw the eye in. Opt for floral, girly patterns and ruffles to add curves. If you have big shoulders make the straps a little wider to balance you out.
If you are pear shaped wear dark briefs and bright top to balance out your frame. Avoid string ties on the bottoms.
Australia has an incredible selection of swimwear and it is no wonder that we have the best homegrown swimwear labels on the planet! Don’t be afraid to mix and match style and colour, find what suits you and go for it!
Happy shopping and don’t be afraid there is something out there for everyone!
