Many plus size women struggle to find resort wear clothing that isn't too revealing or unflattering. We have created this guide to help you choose the best beachwear that accentuates your curves and matches your vibe. By the end of this blog, you'll learn what you do and what to avoid when choosing plus size beachwear, along with some outfit inspirations from our collection!

How to choose the right plus size beachwear?

Have you ever found the best design that you know will look stunning? However, when you try on the beachwear, it often looks unflattering, or worse, makes you look bigger. That's why choosing beachwear based on the design and colour is a big no for plus size women.

The following tips help you find the right beachwear for women in plus sizes.

Understand your body shape

The secret to slaying beachwear is choosing the best fit for your body shape. Yes, you need to understand your body shape to choose the right plus size beachwear for women.

But how do you know what your body shape is? Take out the measurement taps. We will guide you to help you understand your body shape.

First, you must measure your shoulders, bust, waist, and hips. Write down the measurements on the paper.

Here's the body shape breakdown based on these four measurements:

Pear shaped body has broader hips and narrower shoulders and bust.
Apple shaped body has a broader waist and bust area with narrower hips.
Hourglass shaped body has similar shoulders and hips with a well-defined waist.
Rectangle shaped body has the same measurements for shoulders, bust, and hips, with a little defined waist.
Inverted triangle shaped body has broader shoulders and a narrower waist and hips.

How do you find beachwear based on body type?

For pear shaped body type, beachwear with off-shoulder or spaghetti strap designs is better as it draws attention to the upper body.
For an apple body type, opt for a wrap dress to add dimension to the dress and effectively cover the midsection of your body.
For an hourglass figure, any beachwear will look good. You can choose beachwear with a V-neckline or one-shoulder cover-ups to create chic outfits.
For a rectangular body shape, tie-up and ruffled designs are ideal as they add volume and dimension to the visuals of the outfit.
For inverted triangle body shapes, wide straps and deep necklines add good dimension.

Choose a full coverage beachwear

If you are plus size, full-coverage resort wear clothing like cover-ups and sarongs are your best friend. These full-coverage beach wear for plus size women provides you with the necessary support without discomfort. You can move freely and enjoy your drinks and sunbathing without worries or wardrobe malfunctions.

However, full coverage doesn't necessarily have to be boring. We have stylish sarongs, cover-ups, and dresses with vibrant shades and designs! You can express your style elegantly with our designer plus size beachwear for ladies.

Which type of beachwear should plus size women avoid?

Going to the beach and not having a single Insta-worthy photo is a crime. However, the wrong beachwear can ruin your mood and photos. Here are a few things you should avoid when shopping for beachwear for women in plus sizes.

Beachwear with horizontal prints

Horizontal or wide patterns might look cool, but they aren't fit for plus size women. They make your body look broader and bigger. Therefore, avoid choosing plus size beachwear with horizontal and bigger patterns.

Tight one-piece

A one-piece bodysuit is a dream outfit on the beach. However, if your one-piece beachwear is too tight, it will make your curves look bigger. Furthermore, too-tight clothes can cling to the body too much and ruin your mood as well. Therefore, opt for a wrap style or a comfortable fabric that lets your body breathe.
