Finding a swimsuit is challenging enough, but it's even harder when you're a plus size. It wasn't so long ago, that there were about 2 choices, and they were all horrible. Now, there's tons of styles to chose from, and there's something for everyone. I've chosen my top 5 favorite swimsuits for plus size girls. ** 1) Black Empire Waist Halter Swimsuit: This is my favorite of them all. The empire waist gives this solid black suit a touch of class, and the halter top will help add support (and give you a great tan line!). This will flatter everyone - it's such a clean, classy look. ** 2) Leaf print CrissCross Strap Swimsuit: This style is similar to the solid black suit above - but has a pretty leaf pattern. Also, the crisscross straps make this suit more functional than the halter, and will be better for swimming in. ** 3) Floral and Black Tankini: Tankini's are so hot.. and this one is really cute. The top has a longer length to help conceal a tummy, and the bottoms are just like normal swimsuit bottoms. Definetely plus size friendly, as most tankinis expose midriff. ** 4) Mix & Match Leopard Print Swimsuits: Most girls aren't one perfect size. Some of us are bottom heavy, some of us are top heavy... which leaves a problem when shopping for swimsuits. Thankfully, we have the good old mix and match. Leopard print suit comes in either a tankini top, normal swim top and briefs. It's really cute, too! ** 5) Tie Dye Halter Swimsuit:*SPLURGE ALERT* Buy this suit only if you have money to burn. I chose this tie dye suit because it's really different. Some of us prefer to have a suit that's a little more daring than the expected black, and a pretty purple tie dye suit will do just the trick. Don't forget the SPF! ** Tricia's Treasures was given Permission to reprint by author Crystal Coons. For more information regarding Crystal Coons articles please email me.
