Summer is almost here again and it is time to buy the prettiest swimsuit you can! You want to look your best when it’s time to swim at the lake or at those swimming pool parties you and your friends will be throwing.
Those of us who are plus size women often won’t wear a plus size swimsuit instead opting out and going for the shorts and t-shirt look so we can keep more of our bodies covered. But the older I’ve gotten, the more I am convinced that life is too short to keep ourselves unattractively covered to preserve what exactly; our modesty or our weight? It’s obvious when we are plus size women; no clothing really hides that fact.
That’s why I have made the decision to wear sleeveless shirts, shorts in public and a plus size swimsuit. Not only do I wear them (and for my own comfort), I choose bright bold colors that make me feel good. I have chosen not to “hide in plain sight” by wearing dark colors and keeping most of my body covered. And that’s why I wear a plus size swimsuit in public, regardless of my weight.
I believe that we all deserve to wear beautiful swimsuits and women’s plus size swimsuits in 2009 have some of the most attractive choices I’ve seen in awhile. I have gone through quite a few different websites that specialize in plus size clothing and put together a list of what I believe are the best plus size swimsuits for 2009.
