Slaying Swim Season

Swimwear season has always been the most dreaded time of year for Fat Girls. Many of us feel uncomfortable exposing our bodies in a cultural climate that tells us we’ll never be enough. And until recently, there were very few swimwear options besides a tankini or swim dress for full-bodied babes to wear during the warmer months.

More than ever before, companies catering to us. Creating collections that flatter and flaunt our figures, collections we’re willing to spend our coins on. And influencers showing us how to rock these looks right. Here are a few tips and tricks to show you how to slay this swim season.

Go For The Bold

Don’t be afraid to don a bold and bright bikini. Because why not make a scene if they’re already staring?

Embrace Your Booty

From full coverage in contrasting fabrics. To barely-there string bikinis. Let your beautiful booty be the star of the show. You know what they say, sun’s out, buns out!

Color Coordinate

From accessories to lipstick to hair, it’s ok to be a little extra. Or even a lot extra, it’s all about being confident and showcasing your own personal style.

Dare to Bare

Skin is ALWAYS in! Regardless of your size, you can show as much or as little as you’re comfortable with. This season mesh and cutout details are trending.
