Summer Style - Beach Kaftans for Problem Thighs....
8 November 2008
To the knee please is the safest bet and one that is sure to restore your beach confidence this summer. Now that doesn't mean frump...far from it. You must still be conscious of your upper body shape to really make sure you nail this all too frequent dilemma.
Chunky Thighs + Smaller Boobs: If you are not so blessed in the breast department, then a longer kaftan with more detail up there is the go. For example our San Sebastian kaftan or Cannes kaftan. Clearly our best seller and for very good reasons...it helps smaller boobs and shoulders, covers over tums and those retched thighs.
Chunky Thigh + Great Waist: For gorgeous curvy girls with problem thighs, you need to make sure that the styles you chose don't flatter your best bit...your stunning waist! Look for more fitted styles - like the classic 'shift' kaftan cut ideally darted in the back to 'bring you in' and help define your waist. Our Farrah does this brilliantly...see what I mean?
Chunky Thighs + Big Boobs: Well endowed girls - just make sure your neckline is right. Wide open scoops or deep 'V's are perfect for you as they stop you from looking 'blocky' up top. Your boobs are beautiful...work with them to help you get over your thighs.
Check out how well St Barts handles the job at hand. It's all in the simple wide 'V' neckline and fine floaty fabric.
Swimwear tip for Chunky Thighs : Don't try and cover up your thighs with low cut swimwear - that strategy is fraught with danger! A slightly higher cut will elongate your legs and help to reduce their 'chunkiness'. Try the Capriosca bandeau 'night flower' one piece.
Tops for Chunky Thighs: sounds like a weird combo but the wrong top will add weight to your thighs. Please make sure they end above the widest part of your thighs and not ON them - this will only bring greater attention to your least liked area...not what you're wanting I'm sure.
Remember that every garment has a Size & Fit tab with simple tips on what shape works best. Many beachwear options have inspiring Goes With Looks to give you great ideas on how to wear them.
All too much to take in? Then cheat and take a peek at this quick link to give you quick clues in a snap.
Cry over spilt milk...just not over those thighs. There is hope, there is a way...just ask me!
Until next time.
