Body positivity is sweeping the world. Its beauty is that it allows you to see beauty in naturalness, and for a woman there is nothing more natural than having curvaceous figures.
But you should always remember that if the percentage of fat in a woman’s body becomes less than 15–17%, this will lead to hormonal imbalance or menopause. Therefore, it’s time to start loving yourself and stop being ashamed of your body. “Plusies” look great, especially those who have begun to understand their appearance and learned how to present it correctly through well-chosen clothes.
Rules for fatties: what you can wear to the beach and what you can’t
Run away from a seller who offers you to disguise the width of your hips with panties with a skirt. Especially if the hem is pleated or has waves. This model is not only will not hide the kilograms, but will also add a few extra ones. This will make you look incredibly stupid. It’s like you’re trying to imitate kindergarten-age girls.The latter simply love to dress up in swimsuits with skirts. AND these clothes suit only them.
Those who have already at least entered high school should not wear something like this. It would be better to stop on an extended swimsuit. Due to the integrity of the structure, it can visually reduce volumes. And it will hide cellulite in the groin area much more reliably than a flying skirt with waves.
Important! Drapery, decor, waves can be located on the lower part of the swimsuit only if the shoulders and chest are much more massive than the buttocks and hips. At the same time, swimwear should not be made from flashy acidic material. Excessive childishness is of no use if the thing contains some decorative frivolous elements even without it.
Also You shouldn't swim in a pareo. A transparent scarf, and also wet - what can it hide? Except your beauty. Use the accessory not while sunbathing or swimming, but on the way to the beach or while walking along it (for example, to get to the drinks stand). The rest of the time be sure to take off your “cape”. You came to sunbathe, and not to pretend to be a Christmas tree, hung with garlands and colorful decorations.
Another important point - type of pareo and place of its attachment. Under-placement is excluded. It is better to tie a scarf just above the waist. Universal rules apply to colors:
- a large, repeatedly repeating pattern covering exclusively the hips will increase the lower part of the torso;
- instead of a flashy large print, you should choose a small one;
- acidic shades will not help you look attractive.
With shoes, everything is simple: leave the platform and heels for those who came to the beach with the film crew. That is, for “glossy” models. In real life, such shoes have no place in the coastal zone. It's uncomfortable, it looks inappropriate, and it in no way helps a plump woman appear at her best in front of others.
It is unlikely that they will be able to appreciate the attempt of the “plus” in shoes to walk across crumbling sand or over rocks that do not lie under their feet, except to laugh.
AND don't try to find salvation in hanging long beads. Yes, such jewelry elongates your figure a little, but after the first swim you will part with them, and even while you are on the shore they will not help much. They will fall on the stomach, which already tans very poorly.
Important! Don't try to copy plus models from glossy models. Only on paper can you look normal on the beach wearing makeup, long beads, heels or a swimsuit with small ruffled flowers. The latter are a collection of sand. It will stick to the decor after the first bath, and in incredibly large quantities.
What clothes can a plump woman feel comfortable in?
Most often, fear is caused by the process of undressing. The plus ones feel like everyone is looking at them. Trying to explain that this is not so is a waste of time. It is better to recommend taking care of your body. AND you need to start with manicure and hair removal.
Important! You will not feel confident in a chic swimsuit that fits all criteria perfectly if you do not pay due attention to the issue of getting rid of unnecessary hair. Be careful about this even if you are wearing a one-piece swimsuit with a tunic top.
Clothes will not look beautiful on an overfed woman. Yes, water procedures awaken a beastly appetite, but on an empty stomach we look slimmer. Therefore, before visiting the beach, limit the amount of food you consume.Well, during your rest, try not to indulge in heavy food. It will make you swell—your stomach will swell.
Short dress or long?
The answer to this question depends on the length of the legs, their shape and the presence of defects: cellulite, stretch marks. A tall, plump woman with straight legs and a slightly pronounced orange peel can easily try on a short dress. This is rational for the reason that frequent wearing of such clothes will allow your legs to tan faster. Therefore, you will look a little better on the beach.
What shoes?
Buy a pair that is flat and has no ruffles, straps or laces at the ankles. Such decorative elements “cut” the leg. Flip-flops with a strap between the toes reduce the size of your feet.
Minimalism is dictated by convenience. Simple shoes are easier to care for; cleaning them from sand does not take much time.
What to wear on your head?
If you are very pale, then you need to protect your shoulders, neck, face and décolleté - they burn first. For this purpose, buy wide brim hat. And don’t be afraid to add age to yourself with such an accessory. A fabric hat whose brim lies in waves does not give a similar effect.
Tanned and confident young plump girls should definitely buy fedora or telbi. Fashionable and stylish, such a thing looks great on chubby people, which cannot be said about caps. The visor does not harmonize with either the face or the figure of a curvaceous girl.
Important! Prolonged swimming in the sea or lake can damage your hair, so it makes sense to pin it up.
Features of choosing a swimsuit
Helpful notes and guidelines:
- Avoid anything shiny.
- Do not try to adjust your size with a one-piece swimsuit that is too small.Overhanging and protruding folds will appear in the armpits, on the back and along the bottom of such a swimsuit.
- If you want to make your figure more graceful with a one-piece swimsuit - ask the seller to show you the corrective models.
- When choosing a one-piece swimsuit, look not only at the fit of the model, but also to chest position. It should not fall out of the cups or get lost against the overall background of the swimsuit (the print at the bottom can play such a cruel joke).
- If your belly clearly protrudes, then you can safely enlarge your already large breasts with underwear. This will visually reduce the protrusion of the tummy.
- V-shaped bra attachment makes shoulders less massive;
- A large bust requires additional support, so take the option with sewn-in underwires.
- An elastic band under the bust or special fabric in the décolleté area is not a complete replacement for underwire.
- If the difference between the bust and hips is impressive, then Don't sacrifice your appearance to save money. It is better to buy two different swimsuits - let the top fit in one, and take the bottom from the second - than to appear in panties that cut into the sides, and in a bra that falls off or digs into the body.
- Swimsuits with hanging decor look interesting, but only if if the body does not shake when walking. In this case, the decor will only aggravate the problem.
- Vertical inserts are slimming, but this does not apply to mesh inserts and lacing. In such a swimsuit you will look great only standing, but when you sit down, your body will begin to appear through the slits and you will look like a sausage.
- It’s also very important to go shopping for a swimsuit without self-tanning, even though many magazines advise the opposite.Get used to seeing yourself and loving yourself for who you are, and not harming your own skin with very harmful - especially with constant use - chemical compounds, which, by the way, hide your color type and do not allow you to correctly determine the appropriate color palette of clothing.
Important! Sunbathe more often, rather than “poisoning” yourself with self-tanning. The habit of seeing yourself on the beach gives you confidence. Self-tanning does not do anything, but it slows down the process of skin pigmentation changes under the sun.
Tips for young plus size girls
You can easily prepare for the beach season, by starting to wear shorter clothes than usual. Your legs will tan, and by the time you show up in your swimsuit, you'll look a little slimmer. Especially in areas that have been exposed to sunlight.
The tan theme also works when choosing an outfit. For the first time, take a monokini with open sides. As soon as a light tan appears on your body, switch to a fully open swimsuit. This two-step approach to the issue will allow you to look much better in a bikini than if you immediately put it on a pale body.
Important! Don't give up on the monokini idea because the strip connecting the top and bottom will prevent your belly from getting tanned. In fact, the stomach tans incredibly slowly, much slower than the sides. Therefore, if you do not hesitate and can switch to an open swimsuit in a timely manner, then the difference between the covered part of the abdomen and its open area will be minimal.
Another interesting point is decorations. Are you going to swim? Then take off all your jewelry and jewelry. Reason: in the water, all this luxury easily slides off. Even a ring that fits tightly on land can slip off your finger in the sea.In other words, there is no need to try to distract the attention of others from your own figure with the help of jewelry. This trick works anywhere, but not on the beach.
What to wear for an older lady
Tankini with panties and tunic - ideal option, as it helps hide age-related deposits on the waist and sagging abdominal muscles. Just make sure so that the top does not end at or directly above the widest point of the thigh. For headwear, opt for a wide-brimmed hat. Its brim not only harmonizes with a round face, but also helps balance the entire figure as a whole.
As street wear don't use shorts. The reason must be sought in the steepness of the hips. While walking, they will rub against each other, causing the pant leg to creep up. And not all of it, but only its inner part. The result will be a terrible distortion: along the outer edges the shorts fit normally, but along the inner edges they tend to the crotch.
The shorts are completely replaceable lightweight fabric breeches. Yes, some cropped pants shorten the figure and make the legs short. But at sea you will definitely walk a lot, and in a skirt and dress the inner thigh is not protected. Constant rubbing of your thighs against each other will cause irritation. To avoid it, alternate between hemlines and breeches (try to choose the latter correctly, then the effect of reducing growth will disappear by itself).
How to dress for the beach after 50 years?
When going to the resort, put the following things in your suitcase (minimum supply):
- trapezoidal tunic;
- wide top;
- tankini;
- light breeches or culottes;
- dress, sundress with small sleeves;
- pareo.
You shouldn’t “invite” into your wardrobe items with sequins, lots of embroidery, or giant flowers. A swimsuit should definitely have a minimum of decor and be plain. Print is possible, but only discreet. Animalistic patterns, complex abstraction, pussies, cartoons and multi-colored “peas” - all this is of no use to you.
an open swimsuit and a pareo folded in half and tied. and everywhere in it, in the water and on the sand, and I drive it to the nearest store. weight more than 100. and not the slim girls here. Such a skirt hangs down to the middle of the thigh, and everything is closed. the most important thing is *groin area* which is not observed in your models
The best thing is to be naked, comfortable and don’t need to bother with ridiculous advice.
