If you have an athletic build, you are not one size fits all. There are many different athletic builds. Use this guide to suit yourself.
Most athletic builds ave a more muscular upper body. So show off those shoulders and necklines. Halter tops compliment this build and inscreases the healthy look of the shoulders and upper body.
Option 1: Suits With Smaller Chest Styles for Athletic Builds
Not all athletic women have bigger chests. In fact, many don’t. So if you are one who is blessed with a smaller top-half, try a swim top with:
- cute straps
- a halter top
- more coverage on the chest between your boobs to lessen cleavage
- embellishments
- ruffles
- padding to give the illusion of a larger chest
- bright colors help

Cellulite doesn’t discriminate. Look for boycut brief shorts, swimdresses, or tankinis with longer hemlines.
Cellulite takes a long time to get rid of, plain and simple. You can get rid of it, but it does take a lot of hard work. Creams, melting mechanisms, and surgeries are options, but the good old fashioned way of getting it off still has the best advantages and will give you the healthiest and BEST results. If you are really interested in truly getting rid of cellulite nutrition (80% of your battle) and exercise (20% of your battle) are your going to be your starting point.
If you try another approach and get it off (such as through surgeries) your chances are higher for putting it back on if you don’t get to the source of your nutritional habits. Starting off with exercise can help. Here are some options.
Printed or solid suits with a different color side panel to give an hour-glass shape to take the broader shoulder appearance down a notch. A fun neckline that’s not straight across can also pull away from the attention from the shoulders.
