It’s time to get ready for those warmer temps – and we’ve got the 5 items you’re going to need to make it through the summer as a totally hip Fashionista! A-LINE SKIRT: The A-line skirt is a classic, and is probably one of the best items a curvy gal can own. It’s fitted at the waist and flairs out. It doesn’t hug in unflattering spots, and is usually knee length. CAPRIS: Capris are a really cool way to dress down this summer. Get a pair of denim or khaki ones, and pair them with either plain or fun printed shirts. If you’re going to go with capris that have a pattern, stay away from anything too large. The bigger the print, the bigger you’ll look. SARONG: Sarong’s are awesome for summer, and really help add sophistication to what otherwise could be a fairly boring swimsuit. They’re flirty and light, and can be worn so many ways: short, long, tied in the front or on the side. Definitely a must-have. BUILT IN BRA TOPS: I would like to kiss the person who invented tanks, halter and tube tops that have built in bras. It takes the guess work out of wearing some of the hottest summer styles. You don’t need to worry about bra straps, funny tan lines or not having the support you need. While they don’t offer a lot of support, they keep everything in place. Fantastic! TANKINI : This one was a given. The tankini is certainly the swimsuit of the season. Support in the top, nice coverage in the tummy, a hint of skin, and comfy boy shorts or bikini bottoms. Make sure when tankini shopping you buy separates if you’re a different size on top than the bottom. It allows you to get the best fit, and if you get pieces that aren’t the same print, you can add pieces to it as the summer goes on, and you can end up with a really cool set of suits.
