Two piece celebrity womens swimsuit ideas that can be translated to 1 piece suits as well. Look like a Hollywood celebrity in that sexy womens bikini or one piece swimsuit

I’ve noticed that celebrity models and actresses often mix and match swimsuit tops and bottoms. Even the swimsuit brands such as Ujena and Canyon Beach Wear offer a mix match selection of tops and bottoms that can be paired together. Now, normally, I would not purchase swimsuit separates because the tops and bottoms that don’t go together can create potential for clashing colors. Yet, in the case of swimsuits, I make an exception. I actually do like a different color top and bottom. As long as they are fully complimentary with one another I think this look of one color top paired with another color swimsuit bottom is incredibly hot. I also think that this look has some advantages for the mature women.

As your figure ages your body shape changes and your chest may be a totally different size than your waist hips and legs

Most women don’t wear a two piece swimsuit after forty because they feel their figure can’t look slender in it. One problem is that two piece swimsuits are harder to find that flatter the figure. The nice thing about pairing tops and bottoms is that you can buy two different suits. While this adds expense to your swimsuit purchase, it makes economical fashion sense for several reasons.

Most women forego the bikini because either one of the top or the bottom does not look good, so the entire suit is a no go. If you mix and match, you can find a suit where the top looks good on you, and pair it with a suit where the bottom looks good on you. Throw out the unused top and bottom, and make a custom bathing suit out of the two pieces. This concept may enable some women to actually wear a two piece swimsuit when they otherwise couldn’t because of a dispropertionate figure. If your figure can handle a two piece, it is usually a sexier look.

By mix and matching, you can customize the top or the bottom to your figure. For example, if you have large breasts you might need to find a top with excellent bra support or under wires. You can find the swimsuit top just right for you, whether it is a halter top, bandeau, or whatever looks good. Shop the two piece swimsuits for the perfect fitting top, and if the bottom doesn’t fit, then don’t worry about it. As a separate task, search for the perfect bottom. Generally, a bikini bottom that goes up at least a tad on the thigh will slim and lengthen your legs. Accentuate your waist with scoop bottoms that have a curve to the waistline under the belly. Straight across the waist bikini bottoms aren’t as flattering, unless they have detailing on the side such as strings or rings. The idea is that you can find the perfect top and pair it with the perfect bottom. Granted, you have to buy two bathing suits, but you might be able to put together a decent bikini look with this approach since you only need to find a good top of a 2 piece or a good bottom of a 2 piece. Even if the colors are different, a bikini top that looks great on you, coupled with a bikini bottom that looks great on you, is way better overall than a matching top and bottom (or 1piece) that only looks so-so on you.

Women’s swimwear tends to be so frumpy, plain, tourist like or over the top tacky. I don’t generally like large or noisy patterns as they tend to be aging. But if you have at least one half of the suit as a solid color, you might be able to get away with a more colorful top or bottom paired with the solid (look at the swimsuit photographs shown for examples). A little bit of tropical color like a turquoise top or bottom with a figure flattering black top or bottom adds neon sex appeal. If you are color impaired and not good with fashion, stick to matching two basic colors together, such as pink and black, as shown at the right of the swimsuit photos.

I actually think a different color top with a different color bottom is a somewhat sexy look. It adds some pizzazz to the swimsuit. I prefer this to other pizzazz including stripes, ribbing, borders, belts at the waist and so on. If the swimsuit top and bottom are rather simple and fun, the mismatching is actually a figure flattering look. It distracts from figure and body flaws and adds eye catching interest. One other thing is that women tend to buy all black or dark colored bathing suits to hide figure flaws. The problem is the drab colors end up looking frumpy. This matching enables you to bring a little bit of color into your look and it looks more … swimsuit like.

If you are only comfortable wearing a one piece swimsuit, then you can try to adopt the same ideas when looking for a 1 piece. A one piece bathing suit that has a separate top design can make a boring swimsuit color such as black alot more interesting. Shown at bottom are two examples of one pieces that have somewhat of a two piece look to them because the bikini top of them has it’s own colors. This can look prettier than the normal one piece suits you would find which are frumpy with all over flowers, ugly stripes or plain boring colors and no details.

Celebrity women often wear mix and match swimsuits and it can look good on mature women too. It’s actually figure flattering, adds some pizzazz, and lets you shop a 2 piece for only its top or its bottom. This might increase your chances of finding a two piece suit that looks fabulous. There are plenty of online bathing suit stores that you can surf to look for more ideas. I for one like to try on a suit before I buy it. If you buy a swimsuit online, be sure it’s a brand and style that you already like, to minimize the potential of having to return it.

If you plan to mix and match colors, make sure the colors are complimentary. Don’t buy a top or a bottom unless it looks wonderful on your figure. If you have a good swimwear top, and a good swimwear bottom paired together and they look great on you, it’s worth the cost of having to buy two swimsuits. Match primary colors like pink with black, or blue with white and you may just look ten years younger.

If you aren’t going into the water or are self-conscious of flaws or have a plus size figure, you can often wear the top of a two piece swimsuit with a pair of nice shorts or sarong wrap over the bottom for a beachy look with more coverage. It never hurts to have a good two piece swimsuit top. Some women relegate themselves to one pieces when they could look good in two piece with shorts over or a sarong coverage of their bottom. Apply a golden fake tan to add a sun kissed glow to your beach day look. I hope these beauty tips gives you some ideas for how to look fabulous in a swimsuit when you are a woman over forty years old.
