Featured Fit: Flattering Swimwear for Spring Break

By: LL
As we quickly approach spring break time, many people are planning their trips to warmer climates to enjoy the beach and sunshine. The gyms, having lost some of the Resolution Exercisers, are now experiencing a second wave of exercisers getting fit to be seen in a swimsuit. And, this year, there are many cute new styles of swimsuits for women that are very figure flattering - allowing us to hide a few problem areas (i.e., muffin tops) without sacrificing style. Here are a few great styles from J.Crew's Spring 2012 Collection:

By adding rouching or drapping, you can easily, and discretely, hide your mid-section. By adding a little skirt or an extension to the standard bikini bottom, you can disguise hips and thighs. These are the right fits for how to look on the beach this spring break.


And why not add a stylish cover-up? Here are some of my favorites:

1. American Living (JC Penny)
2. J. Crew
3. Mossimo (Target)
4. TopShop

All of these will easily translate from beach to the boardwalk to cocktails by simply adding a few accessories (all of which would work with any of the cover-ups).

1. Fedora - Aerie
2. Crochet Sandals - Tapeet
3. Metal Resin Bangles - Tasha
4. Leather Carryall - LL Bean
5. Gold Skinny Belt - Eddie Bauer

It is very easy, and affordable, to find the right fit for your spring break (or honeymoon) this spring/summer 2012. And there is no reason to wind up being a failed fit.
