Swimsuit Tricks and Healthy Treats with Special K #Giveaway

by

Ah, the swimsuit dilemma. I remember when I was still single, younger and perhaps “slimmer” or fitter, I actually enjoyed shopping for swimwear and summer outfits, and I even loved trying them on in my closet every now and then. But come the beach season which calls for me to wear them in public, I get unreasonably anxious! And now that I’m a mom of two, I must admit that I shouldn’t have been too insecure about my body when I was younger. I realized how sexy I really was! So from now on, I won’t repeat that same regret now. My disposition has changed for the better, and although I might not be as literally sexy as I was before, I actually feel sexier now in many ways! I’ll tell you how. 

Alright moms and all fellow ladies, this summer post is specially for you! Firstly, let’s shake off all those insecurities we have with our bodies so we can really take in all the positive vibes and gain more confidence about ourselves. Let’s try not be one of the 44% of Canadian women who are too self-conscious when in a swimsuit, as surveyed by Kellogg’s Special K Swimsuit Confidence Survey. Because good news is, famous Toronto-based celebrity fashion stylist Alexis Honce has shared amazing tips and tricks in choosing the right swimsuit for each body type. This is really a valuable thing for us because once you’re confident in your chosen swimsuit, you’d be more confident in any other outfit you’d be wearing! 

Here are the four fabulous body types identified by Alexis Honce and her swimsuit advice for each: 

Perfectly Pear Shaped: Accentuate the curves by adding more volume to the upper body

  • Ruffled bikini tops for upper volume, and balance with the hips
  • Bandeau or tube-top styles to broaden the shoulders
  • Bright-coloured print tops paired with solid-coloured bottoms to even out the attention on upper body and hips
  • High-cut bikini bottoms for elongating the legs and narrowing down the hips 

Lovely and Large Chested: Aim for support and curve emphasis

  • Underwire swimsuit bras for attractive shape and comfortable support
  • Wider shoulder straps for better support
  • Lycra material and colour-blocked styles to better enhance the curves 

Amazingly Athletic: Create a feminine shape

  • Halter-top styles with V neckline to broaden the shoulders and make the waist look smaller
  • High-cut bottoms that tie on the sides to give wider appearance of the hips
  • Contrasting mix and matches of colours and prints of tops and bottoms to break up the length of the torso 

On-point in Plus Size: Minimize problem areas by flattering

  • One-piece, colour-blocked styles to flatter the body
  • Light-coloured upper half to bring attention to the face, and dark-coloured lower half to conceal the tummy 

Now, that will make us enjoy our summer shopping more as we now got to know more about our bodies and what works best for each of us. And hopefully, you’ve all felt more confident too! But Honce also stressed the importance of healthy weight management to better bring out the best in our fabulous selves. It’s not easy to resist cravings during summer, so having a bland diet won’t really work for me. I actually feel less guilty (or not at all) for giving in to occasional tasty cravings at just the right amounts.
