HOW TO FIND THE PERFECT SWIMSUIT & SUMMER ACCESSORIES!

As Summer approaches do you find yourself dreading bathing suit season? A great place to shop for swimsuits online is Spiegel and Newport News. Fashion forward selections with mix & match options as well as a line offering solutions on how to detract from a larger bust, slim your waistline, compliment wider hips and slim those thighs. Not sure where to start well here are a few tips that will leave you feeling confident in your new bathing suit this season!

DAINTY TOP gals will want to accentuate and draw attention upward. Flatter with a ruffled or bandeau top, under wire or a touch of padding in a suit with adjustable straps allowing you to adjust to the perfect fit. Halter-tops are a fun and sporty look that will accentuate dainty bust or shoulders. Two pieces look adorable, as do high neck one-piece suits that zip or tie. Avoid solid dark colored one-piece swimsuits.

If you carry the gift of CLEAVAGE, under wire offers support and halter-tops a sexier appeal. Banded midriffs are a seductive touch of Old Hollywood as they wrap perfectly around your neck and tie in back. One-piece swimsuits compliment best with structured designs and a built in shelf bra. Amazing clean & sporty looks can be accomplished with a one-piece tank top swimsuit designed with a straight cut bust. Wide shoulder straps are perfect for comfort and support. But steer clear of strapless bandeau tops and tiny tri-tops that will leave you looking for coverage.

If you have a SHORTER TORSO & WAIST give yourself a lift with a high cut thigh to elongate your leg and accentuate your waist revealing a more dangerous style! Detract the eye by wearing a swimsuit with a batik or floral print top drawing the eye upward, avoiding horizontal stripes. Spice it up with a plunging neckline but shy away from boy shorts and skirted bikinis as they accent your lower half and the objective is to elongate..

LONG & LEAN body types are sexy and stunning so work it girl with embellishments that draw attention to your hip or bust line. Horizontal stripes will become you, as will texturized swimsuits. Bright colors will sizzle, as will one-piece cutout suits and bikinis. Boy shorts, ruffled and frilly skirts were made just for your slim hips. Styles that are not so hot are vertical stripes or dark solid shades

SLIM HIPS & WAISTLINE your objective will be to create curves with a high cut thigh swimsuit or dazzle in a one-piece belted waistline. Accentuate with a surplice or draped waist that gathers creating a slenderizing seam down the side of your suit. Beware of solid colors and horizontal stripes but you will shine in a solid bottom and print top bikini! Have fun with a splash of accessories such as bows, brooch or studded accents.

If you are a STATUESQUE BEAUTY you should be walking the beaches with confidence! Minimize the attention on top, style in bikini bottoms full of color and prints. Jazz up your hips with ties, belts or sashes and flatter with a moderate cut bottom, wide shoulder straps and square necklines. Leave the little yellow polka dot bikini, plunging necklines and Y neck styles on the racks, as they will draw attention in the wrong direction.

THE PERFECT BODY! If you got it flaunt it with a Glamorous Couture Bathing Suit from Lemon Crush by Lara Lennon!

And finally accessorize, accessorize, accessorize! Embrace the concept of detracting from your not so favorite assets and have fun in the sun with a trendy silicone watch or a fabulous catchall bag! Arrive in an adorable terry cloth tube dress and funky beach towel. Shimmer with a ray of sun with beautiful hoop earrings or bangle bracelet! Now you are ready to take on the summer with confidence and a bright smile!
