There is a serious heatwave going on in NYC right now - I'm actually sitting here singing songs in front of my fan (don't act like I'm the only one who does it!). In an effort to prepare for the beach and a trip to Atlantic City with one of my best friends next week, I took a trip to Old Navy to find a bathing suit.
Pardon the photo quality - these are in the dressing room!
As a woman with curves in lots of places, it's really tough to find a suit that does my body justice. To be very honest, I've only recently become really comfortable with the idea of being in a bathing suit. I'm not a swimmer and I was born in December, so being in the sun half naked isn't my idea of a good time! Being top heavy, a halter swimsuit is the best choice - offering the most support without an actual bra or underwire. No halter in sight? Opt for the tried-and-true strapped suit. Since I have wonderfully meaty thighs (ha!), I tried looking for suits with brief cuts for the fullest coverage.
The result? These two pieces - one strapped in a beautiful blue jewel tone and a playful striped hot pink and white halter swimsuit. I feel like a million bucks in these, and I can't wait to share pictures of my ridiculous adventure with my friend in Atlantic City.
Looking for some curvy girl options at Old Navy? My picks:
More swimwear tips for plus size:
- Suits with embellishments not only draw attention to your wonderful shape, but play up your fun personality! Think fringe and beaded necklines.
- Overlays help to transition from poolside to party time. Not looking to don your mama's usual caftan? Think sheer maxi skirts and dresses.

ReplyDeletethank you, love!
DeleteThank you for sharing this post! I've been looking for a bathing suit that fits my body and doesn't look awkward. I'm top-heavy as well, and none of the bathing suits I currently own fit right in the chest area.
ReplyDeleteThis post came right on time!
Dre, not a problem! They actually have some really great options for top heavy women. A couple of the swimsuits had vintage cuts, which are really supportive. Hope you find what you need!
