How to Shop for a Sexy Swimsuit?

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

If you thought that only supermodel torsos or hourglass figures in sexy swimwear can make a mark at the beaches, then it’s time to change what you think! It certainly isn’t so, all what is essential is the right buying tactics and knowing what exactly would suit you before you get your hands on that perfect sassy swimsuit that you had been looking for. Take a peek at some of these valuable tips which can help you fetch the perfect beach apparel.

Here you go:

  • If you have a fuller torso, consider opting for darker colors. In this way, you can easily display what you want to and conceal what you don’t want to.
  • It is usually a great idea to shop for the top and the bottom of the swimsuit separately.
  • If you are bestowed with larger busts: cups, strings or bandeau ties are perfect for you. Since there is a lot of scope for adjustments.
  • For fuller butts, a swimsuit with a twist or a bright pattern on top can give you the much desired look.

No matter what shape or size you have, your attitude and the taste for fabric hugely influences how well you can carry a beach apparel on the waterfronts. Summertime isn’t too far away, so initiate your next year’s swimwear shopping with Molly Brown’s, the one stop shop for exclusive designer beachwear, cover ups and accessories.

Swimwear mistakes! – 4 Tips to Avoid Swimsuit Disaster!

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

Bikinis, swimsuits and other swimwear can be hard to get right. We all make mistakes, but when it comes to buying swimwear such as bikinis, the mistakes could be more than embarrassing! Here is our guide to some of the most common mistakes a girl can make in the swimwear world, and how to avoid them!

  1. Support – Make sure that any bikini or swimsuit supports your bust sufficiently, particularly if you have a bigger bust size. Many skimpy bikinis just don’t cut it, so try looking for something with thicker straps and adjustability.
  2. Shiny Swim Suits – Shiny fabric works great for thinner girls, but can seemingly add weight to average or larger sized women. Matt colors or designs are a much better choice to keep you looking slimmer!
  3. Color – Buying colors that don’t flatter you is a big no-no, as we each have a natural skin tone that (apart from the lucky ones who can get away with anything!) means we need to find the colors that complement your skin tone. This takes a little time, but you should know which colors you feel most comfortable in and what gets you the most attention from experience, so stick to the colors you know work with your tone!
  4. Proportion – When trying to choose a bikini, understand the effect of certain cuts on your body. The cut of the swimwear is vital to accentuate your best attributes. High cut bikini bottoms can elongate your legs, perfect if you are a little shorter than average, and darker colors give the impression of a slimmer figure.

Swimwear mistakes can be easily avoided if you take note of the above factors.  Next time you go shopping, make sure that the swimsuit splurge transforms you into desirable diva instead of beachwear disaster.

Bikini Style Guide for Different Body Types

Monday, October 12th, 2009

Is bikini fashion your passion? Then you got to read on to get that perfect bikini for your body!

How often have you wished you knew the secret formula to find the perfect swimwear as you go dead on your feet marching along the lanes to pick the right designer swimwear piece? If your instant reaction is ‘most of the times’, then consider your search over, this is the article for you! Primarily it’s more about knowing the body type that you are blessed with and then selecting a bikini that complements your torso perfectly.

Go ahead and match your body type with the ideal style, read on:

  • Hourglass figure – Lucky you! Sport anything on the beach and you can easily cruise through looking gorgeous and sexy. However, bandeau or a triangle top would look the best.
  • Pear Shape – Bigger rear and comparatively smaller shoulder or bosom. Bandeau, plunging neck line or a halter would make you look stunning. You can consider opting for molded or padded cups as well. Avoid wearing high waist bikini bottoms.
  • Apple Shape – When you have a little extra on your upper body as in the tummy or the bosom but incredible legs then you are apple shaped and so the mantra is to show off. Go for halter neck, tankini, darker colors, ruched or criss cross styles. Horizontal stripes are a big no no for an apple shape body type.
  • Full Figure – Plain bikinis or V neck lines would look stunningly chic on you. Sexy caftans or sarongs will also make you look ravishing. However, try and refrain from bikini shorts or high cut bikini bottoms.
  • Straight Figure – Small busts and rear. Triangle bikini tops, ruffles or frills would look best on you. Vertical stripes or high necklines should be avoided.
  • Petite Figure – If you are lesser than 5′3 or at it, plunging necklines, high cut bikini bottoms and halter neck will do wonders to your appeal. Over-sized prints and straps should be strictly shunned.

    • So, you got to identify your body type and the next summertime you go out to shop for your favorite swimwear piece, keep the above pointers in mind and you would know what to let go and what to purchase.

    Increase the Lifespan of your Favorite Swimsuit

    Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

    If you think your swimsuits are no longer what they used to be, it’s primarily due to the onslaught of culprits like chlorine, salt, sun, hot tubs and sun-tan lotion. Now here’s where it goes dicey as to how to shield a favorite bikini from getting marred.

    Whether you own a state-of-the-art designer swimsuit or a not so hunky-dory piece, the fabric gets exposed to all the above mentioned elements, when you hit the beaches or the pools. These eventually lead to the swimsuit’s deterioration or fading.

    Your swimsuit’s color will start fading, the fabric will form piles, material loosens and a lot more than imagination and severer than expected. So, what is it that can make your swimsuit last long?

    Before you panic, we give you the most tried-out and effective ways that can save your favorite designer swimsuit piece and normalize pulsating heart beat.

    Here you go:

  • Hand Wash your swimsuit – If you want to cherish your summer getaways to the beaches for the longest period of time, it’s advisable to hand wash your bikini instead of machine washing it.
  • Take a cold shower after the swim – While you are in the water, elements like chlorine, salt and bromine will munch away the fabric of your swimsuit. In order to prevent that, take a cold shower and rest in shade.
  • Watch out before you sit – You might not realize but pool edges and decks are harsh on the fabric of your bikini. So, whenever you sit consider placing a towel underneath.
  • Tan before you swim – If you tan while your swimsuit is dry, the sun will not cause much damage to its fabric.

    • Although there are a lot of high end swimwear pieces which are chlorine and chemical resistant available on the market these days, no bikini can last forever. But, if proper caring tips are followed, you can certainly prolong the life of your favorite swimsuit. Have any personal care tip? Share it with us.
