A Summer Must Have: One-piece Suits

There is a common misconception when it comes to one-piece bathing suits. The school of thought is, that they are solely reserved for people who are older, shy, timid, or those trying to hide their imperfections. This couldn't be further from the truth. The best way to prove our point is to look towards some of the most beautiful celebrity ladies and see how they have worn a one-piece suit. Each of these glamorous women have chosen to wear a one-piece suit and we all know it isn't because they are shy or don't look amazing in a bikini.

With so many bikinis out there today a great way to break from the norm and really stand out is by trying a one-piece bathing suit. They are figure flattering and come in a variety of styles and colors to fit anyone's shape. If you are looking for something with a retro vibe look for a style like the suit Kirsten Dunst is wearing. With a checked pattern and a 50's style cut this is a great modern way to try a vintage inspired suit. Are you more of a romantic girl at heart? Look to Beyonce for your style inspiration for a great one-piece with long modest coverage on the bottom. This works great for pear and hourglass shapes by providing additional thigh coverage. Do you prefer to stand out? Try a red hot color like Penelope Cruz. This suit is definitely not for those looking to hide. Lastly we have one of America's sweetheart's Reese Witherspoon. She is a great example of a classic apple shape. She has selected a black one-piece with a ruched midsection. This is a great style for those looking to draw attention away from their stomach.

With so many great one-piece styles to choose from, fear of  being boring on the beach this summer definitely won't be a problem.

The Best Suit For Your Shape: Rectangle

So you think you might be a rectangle? Fret not as you are in great company. Cameron Diaz, Gwyneth Paltrow, Natalie Portman and Nicole Kidman are just a few of the many celebrities who have traditional rectangle body shapes.

Rectangles generally are the same width on the top and bottom. The appearance of the rectangle comes into play as the waist is often not well defined. Defining one's waist is the best tip for all rectangles to keep in mind. By doing so it helps to create the illusion of an hourglass figure.

Look for one-piece suits that cinch or have vertical or diagonal stripes at the waist. When shopping for bikinis stick to tops that provide additional support. Unlike many other shapes rectangles can draw attention to their top section. Feel free to try florals, prints, ruffles and fringe. When it comes to the bottoms, side ties can be your best friend. They are the most flattering and their adjustability allows you to further cinch your waist as needed.

The Best Suits for your Shape: Apple

Apples are generally known for carrying the bulk of their weight in their chest and mid section. This is defined as your waist being wider than your hips and usually about as wide as your bust. This rounded upper body is what gives this body type the apple shape. Some of our favorite celebrities fall into this body shape such as Elizabeth Hurley, Jessica Simpson, and Tyra Banks.

 The same challenges that apply when finding clothes to fit your shape also occur when trying to find your perfect bathing suit.  With a few quick tips you can easily hide your problem areas and accentuate the positives. The best advice for all Apples is to enhance the chest and legs and try to minimize the midsection. The best way to down play your belly is by trying a one-piece suit with ruching along the midsection or center to give the illusion of a longer, slimmer torso. If bikinis are your preference look for bottoms with adjustable bands across the waist to help avoid muffin tops. Try deep v-cut tops such as halters and triangles which help flatter and support a larger bust while drawing the eyes attention away from your midsection. Also look to higher cut bottoms that help elongate your slim legs. Being an Apple shape should never stop you from looking your best. With these quick and easy tips finding the perfect suit for you is just a click away!

The Many Bikinis of Rihanna

Rihanna was born and raised in Barbados, but has been entertaining the world with her chart topping music for years.  She is known almost as much for her songs as she is for constantly reinventing herself and her style. Traveling the world has never stopped Rihanna from enjoying her time in the sun. Whether she is in Hawaii, France, Mexico or even her home country of Barbados, RiRi is a sun worshiping goddess who has no shortage of awe inspiring suits in her closet. One of my favorite looks that she dons is the one piece monokini! She is one of those rare people who could wear a potato sack and still look gorgeous. So imagine the damage she can do in one of these to die for one piece suits.

The common misconception is that if someone is wearing a one piece that they are probably trying to hide some of their imperfections. As the world can attest, this couldn't be further from the truth when it comes to Rihanna. While the one piece can lend itself to a more modest style, with today's wide variety of styles there is a one piece monokini for all personalities. In every magazine on the shelf the pages are littered with celebrities and their amazing bikinis. Leave it to Rihanna to go against the grain and remind the world that being your own person and trying something different truly helps one "shine bright like a diamond".

We Have the Best Swimsuits for Every Body

Curvy girl? Skinny mini? It is all good. At All Wet Beachwear, we have sexy swimwear for every body type.

Straight Shaped -

THE CHALLENGE:
You are fit and trim but you are lacking the curve department.

THE SOLUTION:
Add volume (and sex appeal) with bold stripes, ties, ruffles, fringe and beading. Frillies and tie side will mimic an hourglass shape and a belt will create the illusion of curves. A bold red swimsuit or a bikini in a wild print will also achieve a more feminine overall appearance.

LSpace Stardust Fringe One-Piece, Depsi Cindy Nile

Long Torso  - 


THE CHALLENGE:
Whether you are tall or short with a long torso, you are still lacking in balance or proportion.

THE SOLUTION:
Chevron or strategically placed stripes will break up your vertical lines. Cut outs styles will break up your long shape and create the illusion of a waist. One-shoulder tops will create an interest in your upper body.

Cia Maritima Crocodile One Shoulder One Piece, Beach Bunny Sailor Chic Bikini

Pear Shaped - 


THE CHALLENGE:
You are bigger in the hips and thighs the waist and shoulders. Congrats you have the figure of every man's dream :) but how do you make the most of your bootilicious figure?

THE SOLUTION:
Try color blocking, pair a solid, dark bottom with a bright or print top to give your body more visual balance. A deep V neckline will draw the eye upwards. A high-cut leg will elongate the thigh. Solid colors will provide subtle accent to a figure that already has it going on. A soft molded cup will add more oomph to the bustline.

Busty - 

THE CHALLENGE:
You have a D or C cup yet want to have a fashionable bathing suit without worrying about digging straps or embarrassing wardrobe malfunctions.

THE SOLUTION: Find tops with sturdy construction and support. Look for halter styles, wide straps
and wider support bands below the bust.

RYGY Desire Wine One Piece with Adjustable Top, Vitamin A Lemon Drop

All-Over Curves - 

THE CHALLENGE:
You have killer curves. Finding swimwear that you feel comfortable in and that looks great can be nerve wracking.

THE SOLUTION:
Don't run for the full-coverage boyshorts. Instead highlight your full feminine shape with a nice ruffle neckline, jewelry accents or body-hugging ruching. Minimize problem areas with a high-waist bikini or an all over pattern in a very small print.

RYGY Bonita Deep V One Piece, Vix Bia Orange Tube Top and Bottom

Tummy Control - 

THE CHALLENGE:
We all have had it a some point, a little more around the middle than we are happy with, not to worry there is hope.

THE SOLUTION:
A fold over waistband won't squeeze your tummy and lead to the dreaded muffin top. Ruching and draping will disguise any trace of a tummy. High-waisted retro bottoms are also very on trend for 2011.
