Tall Swimsuit Fashions for the 2010 Season

For most tall women finding a swimsuit that is both comfortable and fashionable can be a chore but knowing your body type and what the fashion trends are for 2010 can take away a lot of the headache of shopping for a swimsuit on our great online shopping sites. Whether you are hitting the beach, deciding what to take along on Spring Break, or out by your own backyard pool, having the “perfect” swimsuit will make your fun in the sun that more enjoyable.

One of the hottest trends this year is the cutaway monokinis. This style blends a classic one piece with the fun of a flirty bikini, and if you are tall in the torso, there are companies that cater to tall women and helping them find the fit that is right for their needs. Another option or variation of this style would be a tankini if you need extra length in the torso.

Another trend we will be seeing a lot of is the one-shouldered bikini. As a tall woman, your choices are endless with a bikini. The one-shouldered look can be found on the one piece swimsuit or a bikini in solid colors such as blacks and whites but occasionally can be found with florals or prints. The cut and design of these swimsuits is great for smaller chested girls, but let this style be the one to show off your shoulders.

Swimsuits are not just for swimming. If socializing and soaking up the sun are high on the list of things to do on the beach or at that resort, finding the right accessories for your swimsuit can be just as important as picking out the right swimsuit. A sheer cover up is must have this year and can dress up any swimsuit and be just what you need to make last year’s suit “new” again.

Another look to accessorizing your swimsuit in 2010 is the bohemian fashion trend. To achieve this look, find Russian inspired, gypsy, and folk pieces that can be used as cover ups in pastel pink and blue colors with prints and tied with leather belts over your swimsuits. Use bright colored coin/charm jewelry as accent pieces.

But whatever swimsuit or accessories you decide to choose let comfort and fashion be your guide. Don’t forget the sunscreen!
