Look like a Celebrity in Swimwear

Fashion Reverie knows how you feel about the beginning of summer! It is time for pool parties, beach, travel, maybe even summer love for singles or a romantic getaway.  Summer rays can be exhilarating but putting on the first bathing suit of the season can be stressful. Whether you work out, watch what you eat or do both, there is always a little “yikes” moment when donning the first swimsuit of the season.

That said: some celebrities look flawless in swimwear at almost any age, but for us normal folks there is a lot of trepidation around swimwear. After a little bit of tanning and few swimming sessions we all look and feel better. Still, we would all like to achieve celebrity swimsuit perfection.

Fashion Reverie has some advices:

#1: SMILE!

Rays of your smile will block all the negative thoughts and your lack of confidence.  Look at Lindsay Lohan. It is no secret she has been through a lot and is often been judged by entertainment pundits and the public. Still, Lindsay keeps bouncing and finding something positive that keeps her going. She is learning that there is nothing that is more important than being happy which brings positivity and confidence. If you surround yourself with “happy” even though there may be rainy days, some summer will be sunshine and lollipops!!

#2: Pick the right style and size!

Jennifer Lopez looks great in this cross-body top bikini. She is known for her buns, but that doesn’t stop Jennifer from bringing your attention to well-tuned upper body.  If your upper body is not bodacious, a smaller bikini top or a padded one might do the trick!! If your bottom piece is about to fall down every time you get out of the water get a size smaller.

#3 Emphasize your assets!

Show what you have! Some of us have great legs others have a slender waist.  Some of us have wide hips others have the narrow hips of a teenage boy! Well,  surprise nobody is perfect! So if you great legs, show them off!! If you have a sexy tush, flaunt it!! Don’t worry about the parts of your body that are less than perfect. Doutzen Kroes has some practice wearing her bikini to so her best assets; learn from her!!

#4 Pick a cool color

Choose a cool summer color and you will stand out and most people will be blinded by the fabulousness of your swimsuit. The love handles and muffin top will blend in with the rest of your look if you choose the right color. Not a bad trick, right? Brooklyn Decker can wear anything but this time Mayan tribal prints were her choice. And the color combination worked!!

#5 Accessorize

Lupita Nyong’o is rarely a fashion victim. She usually nails it on the carpet and she seems to do the same on the beach.  We love this white, ruffle cut bikini. It is great color and fits for her well. She made the look more fun with a few accessories.  A waist chain is a very unique way to sex up your swimwear. And a very thin chain will not leave tan lines. A cool hat is always a great solution. It makes you look hip and it protects you from the Sun.  Of course, everyone needs a fabulous pair of sunglasses!
