Suit Yourself
Play up your body's strengths with swimwear that fits your needs -- in more ways than one
By Kristina Grish
Simko |
Choose a suit that accents strong shoulders -- without making you look like a muscle-bound linebacker. Colorblocking, halter tops and tanks visually balance the wide horizontal line that broad shoulders create.
Your best bet: This Celare suit ($68, left) is proof that Nike gets the hang of women's body-type needs. Worn here by masters swimmer Bonnie Trotter, the high-neck suit has dark mesh panels and a keyhole back to show off powerfully chiseled shoulders.
Great runners-up: The Porcelain Print halter tankini with string pant by BCBG
Max Azria Swim ($86) and the La Blanca cropped tank top and high-waisted bottom
($86).
