Bathing Suits

I know it's still snowing out, but I am just so excited for summer and to lay by the pool, while soaking up some rays of sun.  Either way, I am going to need a bathing suit that is comfortable, fashionable, and practical.  This could be a dilemma, since there are so many bathing suits on the market, but you'll have to look around and try them on until you find the one that is just right for your body type.  As I have mentioned before, I am a huge fan of halter tops, not only in shirts, but I like halter top two-pieces as well.  I have two different kinds of halter top bikinis.  One kind has the bigger, thicker straps that tie in the back, and the other is the halter with the strings that you tie in the back.  Either one works, but the thicker straps give way more support when diving in the pool.  There are tons of other styles out there, such as tankinis, bandeaus, strapless, one pieces and so much more.  Tankinis are designed to make you look slimmer.  They come in two-pieces, a top and a bottom, but the top is more like a tank top, where it goes all the way down to your mid-section, sometimes exposing the stomach, but usually not.  Bandeaus are like tube tops that go around your breasts, leaving the stomach area exposed.  Other strapless bathing suits may come in a bra-like form, with no straps holding it up.  Don't ask me how it stays there!  Enough about the tops, another issue is what kind of bottom to buy.  There are thongs, g-strings, low rises, brazil cuts, boy shorts, skirts and full backs.  Thongs and g-strings are barely there with the coverage as they hardly leave anything left to the imagination.  Low rises have moderate coverage in the back without going too far up in the front.  Brazil cuts have a high cut in the front and in the back.  Boy shorts are shorts that create moderate coverage.  Skirts are boy shorts with an overlapping skirt attached.  Finally, full backs are usually high in the front and provide full-coverage in the back.  Now that you know the many kinds of bathing suit tops and bottoms, maybe you can find the most comfortable one for you!
