As swimsuit season is just around the corner, some girls can’t wait to get back into their favorite bikini while some of our spines quiver when we hear the word “bikini”. After this year, which felt like one season: Winter, it’s hard to even feel ready for shorts. Unfortunately, something that comes along with the constant frigid weather is comfort food. If half off apps and late night runs to Dog Central have started to catch up to you, worry no more! We have laid out swimsuits ideas that are cute and for all body types.

If you’re not completely ready to show lots of skin, there are many cute alternatives to your typical swimsuit. One pieces have become a stylish new option for any body type. There are many styles that one pieces offer such as strapless or halter and also varies in the shape and style of the suit. This swim suit shown, from Anthropology has a retro look, which makes it a very fun option for this summer.

Looking for bathing suit bottoms can be tricky, especially when trying to hide problem areas. Swimsuit bottoms, like the one shown, have variety of styles, such as ruffles and prints to fit your body. Using details such as ruffles on swimsuit bottoms can also help hide those unwanted areas. Florals are obviously a hot print in the spring and are also a great go-to print for swimsuits for summer.

If you are one of the many who struggle from something commonly known as “SBS” (Small Boob Syndrome), you are not alone! We have just the bathing suit top for you. A great way to both cover up while emphasizing your bust area is to wear a top with ruffles or fringe. This not only is flattering for your bust but also makes your waist appear smaller, like in the picture shown. These tops are also great for those of you who are luckier in that area with a fuller bust because of the support these tops have. Ruffles or fringe tops are a great option when looking for a top that is flattering and cute.

High waisted shorts and pants have popped back into style last year and swimsuits have been included in this style craze. This is a perfect way to hide that unwanted lower tummy you don’t want exposed while making your waist look extra tiny. This is also a retro style that is a fun alternative to your typical bikini. Bold prints and designs been a hot trend this spring and they are carrying on to the summer. Swimsuits are a great way to incorporate fun designs into your summer wardrobe.
