Plus Size Tankini Swimwear For Full Bodied Women
Traditionally, clothing for larger sized women was never designed to be anything but figure hiding. Unfortunately for a long time it was assumed that women who didn’t conform to the stereotypical hour glass figure or catwalk parading model would want to keep themselves covered up or at least to not show their figures off in public.
This meant that the vast majority of fashionable clothing would not be available in large sizes. This was a great shame because as we have come to realise now, full bodied ladies are just as fashion conscious as slim ladies. In fact, in many cases, larger sized ladies are just as proud and eager to showcase their figures as any other woman. And rightly so!
This fact was never more evident than in the sports clothing range. This was especially so in the swimwear industry. Full bodied women had very little choice or selection when it came to swimwear.
At one time, swimwear manufacturers catered mainly for the young, athletic and svelte figured ladies. This made it difficult and somewhat embarrassing for the ladies with fuller figure to be able to shop for swimwear that was suitable for their bodies.
But as time has gone on it has become a lot more easier for women of all shapes and sizes to shop from the same range of styles and colours without restrictions as even the most model like figured women.
Full bodied women are finally able to shop for and find a great selection of dresses, casual and athletic clothing such as swimwear. Clothing manufactures now realize there is a huge market for plus size clothing and this includes bathing suits.
Today, almost every swimwear manufacturer offers a nice selection designed for the full figured woman. That said, because of the wider selection of styles and colours available many women who wear a plus size bathing suit are having some difficulty choosing the style that is going to make them look their very best at the beach or around the pool.
We have already discussed the traditional one piece bathing suit. Now it’s time to take a look at a style that offers something different while offering the protection desired, and is comfortable and figure enhancing. Today we are going to discuss the plus size tankini swimwear options that are available for full bodied women.
What is a tankini bathing suit
What is a tankini bathing suit? a tankini is a two piece bathing suit with a tank top and a bikini or boy short bottoms. The tankini offers the modesty of a one piece bathing suit but has the convenience of a two piece.
One black bikini bottom or one pair of boy shorts can be worn with any number of tops. This makes it possible for you to have lot’s of different looks when it’s time to head for the pool or beach.
There is not a lot to be said about bikini bottoms, a good fitting bikini bottom is all you need.
We suggest you stick with black most of the time. However, there are some really great colours available and you might want to have some fun with something a little on the wild side. There is another option that is becoming very popular, boy shorts. Boy shorts/skirts will shape your hips, thighs and rear. Again, you will probably want black for it’s versatility and slimming qualities. Again, there is a wide assortment of colours available.
Now a few words about tankini tops might be helpful. Tankini tops are usually made of nylon and spandex. This will give you the beauty and support the full figured woman needs. You will find lot’s of different options as far a straps and adjustments are concerned.
The most commonly available types will have adjustable straps, scoop or V-neck and a soft moulded bra. Other options are side ties of every description, elastic waist bands and a extra support bra.
The selection of styles and colours available in tankini tops has never been better. This season prints are very popular and every manufacturer is offering them. This is where you can have some fun with colour and style.
Tankini tops are relatively inexpensive so a full figured woman can own a bottom or two and several different tankini tops and she will have a great variety of swimwear to choose from.
In review let us say again. Tankini style bathing suits are great for the full figured woman. You do not have to wear a traditional one piece bathing suit to enjoy the comfort, protection and look you want in your swimwear wardrobe.
In fact the opposite is true, tankini bathing suits are actually more versatile than a one piece style. Tankini bathing suits are generally offered as separates. You will need a bottom piece, bikini style, boy shorts or a skirt, which are all readily available.
Tankini tops give you the support and protection you want and are offered in many different styles. V-neck, scoop neck with adjustable straps, side ties and elastic waist bands are all popular. Any of these styles will offer you the bra support you need. Plus don’t forget the easy on and off benefit of a two piece bathing suit.
Finally, they are not very expensive, so making it possible for you to have several different looks for those days at the beach or pool.
Hopefully we have made your next purchase of plus size swimwear a little easier. Have some fun and enjoy many great days in the sun.
