Swimwear Summer 2010 Trends
Designs for swimwear tend to come back to the late 70's and early 80's, styles from one-pieces, underwire one or two pieces to studding, metal rings, ruffles. Swimwear trends seem to leave out cutouts, revealing, sexy style, instead, they go back to more glamorous classic styling. Vintage swimwear designs are back with bright colours ruffles, feminine florals and unique one pieces, comfortable but sexy in fashionable cuts, become more popular than they have been in the past. Colours such as reds, greens and blues are main part of the swimwear season.
For lingerie, black lingerie including chemise or babydolls will always be trendy. Red is a perfect colour for lingerie, look for sexy lingerie sets in this color then you'll be right in style! Cobalt colour is a favourite and this coloured lingerie will look great on women in summer time. Lacy lingerie (whole or just lace on the bust) will be fashionable and seductive.

What Swimwear Styles are Suitable for Plus Size Women?
It is a challenge for a plus size woman to find a swimsuit which fits her as well as flattering her appearance. So if it is your challenge, which style or design would give you a flattering solution?
- If you have a short neck or double chin: Avoid wearing swimwear styles with high neck cuts, it will make your neck look even shorter or the chin will look more obvious, instead, a swimsuit with a deep V neck cut or deep U neck cut will drive the eye away from the neck.
- If you have large arms: A swimwear with bright or bold prints on the bust will attract the attention and shift it away from the arms. You can also camouflage them by putting on a cotton or sheer polyester tunic / kaftan with deep colour when you get out of water.
- If your hips and thighs are large: A swimdress with colourful prints on the bust and plain dark/deep colours on the rest of the swimwear will do the tricks and will take the eye attention to the bust.
It has a similar effect for 2 piece skirtinis swimwear. The skirtini top with bold and beautiful all over print will distract the eye and the deep/dark plain coloured skirt will camouflage the hips and thighs.
- Tummy sticking out: Most plus size women face this problem. Swimdress with empire waist, a high-waisted dress, gathered just under bust with a long, loose skirt would be the best solution especially if there is colourful, bright print on the bust and the rest of the dress is in plain dark color.
A big "no-no" swimwear styles/designs for large size women are:
-Bikinis: They will show all of your bulging flesh and will attract staring.
-Monokinis (An one piece swimsuit with large cut-outs at the sides, front and back, with top and bottom connected only by a thin strap). These styles are suitable for young females with a flat stomach. The style has absolutely no support and no flaw camouflage for full figures.
-Swimwear with very high leg cuts, transparent swimwear (see-through when it is wet) or horizontal striped swimsuit.
Swimsuit style is a matter of personal choice but make sure you choose a swimsuit that you feel great wearing and you will enjoy this summer in style.

How To Shop Online Safely For Plus Size Swimwear
Ten years ago, when choosing a swimsuit or lingerie in plus size range was quite a difficult task and there were not many choices, especially online. Now, a plus size woman can "google" or "Yahoo" (typing in the search engines' browser) key phrases such as "plus size swimwear; plus size swimsuits; plus size lingerie" and voila, she can find her swimwear /sleepwear from browsing through websites on the net. But how would you find a website that you can trust with your details including your credit card beside having a flattering swimsuit and a great customer service?
There are few tips to shop online for plus size swimwear:
- Look for the business registration number to see if the website is legitimate through their business registration with their countries goverments. For instance, in Australia we have ABN No.(Australian Business Number), usually, the ABN is located at the top or bottom of the Home page.
- Having anti-virus, anti-spyware and firewall programs on your computer will also serve as protection from scams (e.g. McAfee anti-virus gives "safe or phishing" indication right next to websites' title on search results).
- Stay away from offers that are doubtful and suspicious. If they sound too good to be true, then they usually are.
- Ask your friends/relatives for any advice or any experience whether they have had great or terrible customer service from the company. Or simply to see if there are real testimonials from
customers' experience stated on the website.
Before purchasing swimwear or lingerie online, make sure you do your home work:
- Look at the company's refund/return for exchange policy. If they make the process difficult by questioning customers before they accept the return , then stay away.
- Know your body shape and size. It's best if you know your bust, waist, hips measurement because different manufacturers/brands/designs have different sizing system
- Double check your postal details especially your post code, on the check out system to make sure they are correct, if you mistakenly put a wrong postcode number then the delivery from the post office will be delayed or the parcel may simply go to a wrong place.
- Keep your order information email and any payment record until you have received the product.
