How To Be Revealing, Yet Concealing!
If this is the first season you've had to shop for plus size swimwear the adjustment may be a little tough. In the past, you've been accustomed to cute, low cut, high cut swimsuits in a variety of styles and colors. Now, you find yourself in the aisles of plus size swimwear. Where do you begin?
Actually, shopping for plus size swimwear isn't that different from shopping for swimsuits has been for you in the past. It's all about finding a suit that looks good, has good performance in water and sun, that you can be comfortable with. In the plus size aisle, that may take a little longer if you've worn skimpy suits or a thong in the past.

Don't get discouraged. There are lots of cute suits in the plus size swimwear aisles. You just need to know what to look for. If you've worn a bikini in the past but can't find one that looks decent on you now, try a tankini or skirtini. The tankini offers more coverage from a tank-style top and the bottoms can vary in coverage, too.
If your belly is a little bigger this year, find a tankini with bottoms that offer full belly coverage. If your thighs are what's plaguing you this season, think about a skirtini. With a bikini top, you'll still get the bareness of a bikini with the coverage in the thigh area that a skirt offers.
It doesn't mean that you have to spend lots of money. You can find cheap or at least discount swimwear by manufacturers like Longitude, all with the plus size swimmer in mind.
Tankinis for Almost Any Body
Even if you love the beach, you may not love wearing a swimsuit that you're not crazy about. Plus-size fashionistas do have options, though, albeit slightly harder-to-find ones. I've trawled the web to give you the best suits for your shape this season, and all of them are ones that I would actually wear.
Underwire Tankini
The Panache tankini offers a nice change of pace from the usual halter tops. Underwire cups are excellent for DD sized busts and larger, and the slim straps are surprisingly supportive. Mix and match your tankini with a pair of boyshorts or skirt in a subtle print for interest.Bust Enhancing Tankini

Cheery red flowers will perk you up, and so will the overall effect of this suit on you. You can show off your upper back while staying covered in the midsection. This suit would look perfect on apple body types who have slimmer arms and legs.2-Piece Skirtini
