How to Look Younger in a Bathing Suit
There's nothing like seeing a teenager parade around in an itsy bitsy bikini to make you feel like wearing a tent to the pool. Even the most confident women sometimes feel old when they're wearing bathing suits--when every dimple, stretch mark and wrinkle is exposed in the blaring day light. Luckily there are lots of tricks to look younger in a bathing suit.
Step
1
Buy a new bathing suit. Even if your tank suit was incredibly flattering in 1997 and you haven't gained a pound since then, a dated style will
date
you. As much as catalogs advertise certain swimwear as having a "classic design," styles do change over time. If it's more than three years old, it's probably time for an update.
Step
2
Choose a suit that hides your flaws. Get a bathing suit with a tummy control panel to hide that pooch, choose skirted suits or cover ups to disguise saddle bags or cellulite on the tush, select dark v-neck suits to minimize a large bust and on the flip side, pick ruffled, frilly tops to create cleavage when there isn't any.
Step
3
Lengthen legs with wedge heel shoes--forget about those flat flip-flops. Stylish pool shoes paired with a stylish bathing suit gives you a hip look.
Step
4
Fake a tan. Use a moisture-rich self-tanner to give your face and body a sun-kissed look, without the prunish effects of basking in the real thing. When on the beach or at the pool, use lots of SPF to protect against aging skin damage.
Step
5
Top off your youthful look with a large, glamorous hat and some oversized sunglasses. People will wonder what celebrity just walked into the community rec center.
