I never thought I would would have a thing for polka dots, but here I am writing a whole post on polka dot swim suits! Aside from the polka dots, I also wanted to share my two favorite styles of swimsuits that are sure to be a hit come spring and summer!
I swear these two silhouettes will flatter just about every body type. I first fell in love with these styles last summer when I was dealing with body insecurities and weight gain, you can read more about that here. I felt like these bathing suits flattered me in all the right places so, you bet I am adding a few more to my wardrobe this year.
Polka Dot Pieces I’m Loving:
The Cut-Out One-Piece

If you were around last year, you will notice this trend started last summer when I shared my summer swim look book here. Talk about flattering in all the right places! I love one pieces that have cut outs in the middle, but still keep the waist high. It makes for such a flattering silhouette while remaining modest.
By getting a one-piece with cut outs, you get a bathing suit that hugs you in all the right places while staying fashionable and comfy. I always felt so confident in this style of swimsuit last year. Wether I was playing beach games or eating a burger on by the pool, I never had to worry about feeling out of my comfort zone. It kept me covered in all the places I felt self-conscious about but still have a fun and flirty style!

The High-Waisted Two Piece

It’s no secret I am a sucker for anything high-waisted, but I truly have a thing for high waisted swim suits. The silhouette of high waisted bottoms hug you in all the right places and personally, I think they flatter your stomach more the low rise swimsuits.
The best way to pull off this look is to pair your bottoms with a slim, dainty top to balance out the entire look. But, if you need more support and coverage I think the a scoop neck bikini top with think straps (like the one I’m wearing here) is the perfect addition!

Polka dots are so cute! And you’re right, the first model really does look flattering. I’ve always worn bikinis but this year I’m looking forward to getting a bathing suit, I think there are such cute ones out there and I can’t wait to see what brands create for this summer.
