Your Tall Swimwear Options

As a tall woman, shopping for tall swimwear can be very frustrating. The swimsuits at most retail stores just aren't made for long bodies. You try on suit after suit only to be left with painful memories of wedgies and straps tugging at your shoulders. So what's a tall woman to do to look and feel great at the pool? Simple...check out the options below, each varying in the amount of body coverage. With the great variety of colors, patterns, and styles, your only frustration now is how to choose.

• One-Piece Long Torso Swimsuits – If you don't really feel like baring your body, one-piece swimsuits are your best option. The great thing is that there are plenty of long torso swimsuits available if you look in the right places. And, don't get caught on the notion that one-piece bathing suits are dull and boring. Cinched or sleek, straps or no straps, v-neck or halter, solids or patterns, stripes or polka dots...these are just some of your fantastic choices.
• Long Torso Tankini Swimwear – Tankinis are a terrific alternative for those who still want coverage, but want to be a little less conservative than with a one-piece. You will, also, get more freedom of body movement with the separation of the top and bottom portions. You can find some tankinis specifically in a tall size. Others aren't necessarily considered a tall size, but are long enough that they might as well be. Tankinis are trendy and chic and a wide variety of styles are available to you in a size that fits.
• Bikini Swimwear – This is the swimwear option that gives you free reign, if you're comfortable showing skin. Because you're not limited to strictly tall size swimwear, bikinis give you an endless selection to choose from. And, fortunately, you can find them anywhere, online or offline. With bikinis, the only thing to do is find a top that fits your top and a bottom that fits your bottom. Easy enough.
• Custom-Made Swimsuits - If you want a bathing suit that fits to your exact proportions, you can't go wrong with custom-made swimsuits. By providing your design preferences and precise measurements, custom swimwear shops create your perfect swimsuit from scratch. There's no mass production here. Choose your favorite style – one-piece, tankini, or bikini – and get to designing your exclusive tall swimwear.
