The best time to go out and shop for your swim suit will always be at the beginning of the season.  By shopping around May or June, styles will be new and shops will have their shelves well stocked.When shopping round for a new swimsuit you should avoid trying on a new bathing suit after you have just eaten a meal or during your menstrual cyclen.Correct colour is also a hugely important consideration as black, dark brown and blue are slimming to the eye.  Don’t be taken in with the old myth of the larger woman not being able to wear stripes – women of all sizes can carry of stripes, patterns or bold colours as long as the fit of the swimsuit is flattering to their particular body type.
