Teen Girls Swim Suits

Fitting Tips
Boys

Swimsuit fitting for boys is also easily accomplished. Depending on the style selected, the suit will either ride around the waist or the hips. To have your bases covered, measure around both before you shop so you'll know your size no matter which style is chosen.
Girls

Few creatures on the planet are as self-conscious about their bodies as teenage girls. Some burst into puberty early while others are left waiting in the wings. Take measurements around the widest point of the bust and hips, and a waist measurement as well. This will prepare you to select a size in every style available. Be aware that sizes vary from one manufacturer to the next, so refer to each brand's sizing chart to see which size most closely matches your measurements.

Here are a few extra tips to help pick out teens swimsuits for every stage of development.

* To enhance a smaller bust, choose teens swimsuits with ruffles over the chest area. This adds a bit of fullness without resorting to inserts.

* To de-emphasize a full bust, choose halter style tops that help the bust appear smaller.

* To add curves to a boyish figure, select teens swimsuits with flared skirts or ruffles around the hips. Pair one up with a ruffled top and go from boyish to babe-like instantly.

* To de-emphasize larger hips, choose suits that draw the attention upward. Lighter prints on top, and solid darker bottoms will work nicely together.

* To to hide a larger waistline, choose a tankini swimsuit that takes the emphasis off the tummy. A one piece with a belt will also help create more of a waistline.
