Many stylists who write about the better clothing choices for women with bigger boobs obviously don’t have them. Year after year we hear the same type of advice – get a swimsuit as high and with as much coverage as possible, wear plain dark colors, get an underwire style etc etc …
Here at Sonsie spanx Swimwear we disagree with most of this advice! Because that high cut dark colored swimsuit is just going to make you look like you’ve got a giant tyre on your chest.
We have bigger boobs and we know from our own experience and our research that the best spanx swimwear for women with large breasts is a patterned, colorful, halter style with a flattering V. And we usually don’t want underwired bra styles, we want to be more comfortable on the beach or at the pool.
Our bigger boobed women also tell us that sometime in their lives they have all had comments about their breasts that weren’t nice. They want to be able to go to the beach with their families wearing a flattering fashionable normal looking swimsuit and feeling okay about their bodies. They don’t like shopping when they are made to feel abnormal because the ‘normal‘ clothes don’t fit them.
Recent statistics tell us that women in the Western world are getting bigger boobs. There aren’t many women over 35 years of age who haven’t noticed that many school girls are very tall! Well their height isn’t the only thing that is getting bigger. Lingerie company Bendon has just released their latest survey figures – almost 50% of the market is now a D cup or above. Plastic surgeons are also commenting that the numbers of women seeking breast reduction surgery is increasing.
So if you don’t want to go under the knife and you do want to go to the beach or the pool – what do you do? After years of being unable to find swimwear that fitted, Ree Smith decided to create her own. The Sonsie swimwear range is made for women who look at those tiny triangles in swimwear shops and ask themselves how on earth am I going to fit into those??!!
So here’s what to look for in a swimsuit if you have bigger boobs and want to minimize your look:
1. Choose a patterned fabric. Small to medium sized patterns make the eye look all around the pieces of the pattern instead of seeing one big block of solid color.
2. Choose a bright funky color. Don’t think that black is slimming, a color that suits you skin tones will look so much better.
3. Asymmetric styles also help minimize the size of your chest so try to get a swimsuit pattern that is different on each side.
4. Go for a V-neck halter style. It divides your chest in two and so your boobs appear smaller. Avoid those skinny halter straps that dig into your neck.
5. Unless you want to be running on the beach avoid the swimsuit that squashes your boobs against your chest. Yes they will look smaller but you will morph into uni-boob woman and that single boob look is not so good!
6. Don’t be afraid of exposing a bit of skin! As long as the cup sizes are big enough you don’t need to worry about falling out and having a ‘wardrobe malfunction’, and it will look a lot more flattering.
7. Go for a bikini or tankini so you can get a different sized top and bottom.
