As the temperatures begin to rise you may be asking, Are You Bathing Suit Season Ready? This question could refer to a dozen different things for many people, but most often it refers to being in good shape to feel comfortable about getting out in a bathing suit in front of people. While wearing a bathing suit may be frightening to you, there are a ton of things you can do to feel more confident this bathing suit season.
Are You Bathing Suit Season Ready?
Shop for a well fitting suit. Take the time to really shop for the bathing suit to fit your body. Instead of grabbing the cheapest suit on the rack, or the one like your grandma wore just to cover your flaws, really take the time to find a flattering suit. No matter what your body shape or size is, you can find a ton of great choices out there. Boy cut bottoms, tankini styles that help you get proper sizing for larger chests, and even skirted suits are all options that disguise flaws while fitting your body and flattering you.
Use spray tan. Having a lot of pale skin exposed can make you even more self conscious. Invest in a quality spray tan to give your body a boost of color without fear of cancer. Avoid sunbathing or using tanning beds. Both can expose you to skin cancer, and no amount of vanity is worth that.
Accept your body and it’s flaws for what they are. Moms will almost always have a little extra tummy, some stretch marks or even arms that aren’t toned. Instead of worrying about how you compare to the models in magazines, embrace the features you love and accept how strong your body is. Flaunt your best features, and accept your body for what it is.
Exercise if you choose to. Getting bathing suit season ready is typically all about diet and exercise. That can actually be a great motivation for someone who needs to get healthier. If you choose to do so, work on a great exercise or diet program that will help to tone your body and improve your health. If you can’t reach your goals as you want to, simply accept your body and appreciate it for how it is. Changes come slowly sometimes, and usually slow changes will last longer.
Making sure your body is bathing suit season ready is simple. You just have to put all outside distractions from your mind and focus on how to flatter your body. Let go of the body image comparisons, and embrace who you are in a bathing suit of your choice this year.

February 17, 2017 at 1:18 PMI am not swim suit ready…heck I am not even sweater and sweatpants ready. I love that one of your tips is that you need to accept your body, flaws and all. I think we are in a society that compares us to everyone else. It can be really hard on the ego. From body size, to how many digits your salary is, we are made to feel we are not good enough. I think accepting the good and the bad is key.
