Question by Linda: What is the best swimsuit type for someone with large thighs?
I have large thighs and can never find a swimsuit to make them look smaller. Any ideas?
ANSWER:
A Sarong is one of the best things for someone who wants to hide some parts and accentuate others.
below is a combination beach cover-up AND sarong, it is a beautiful way to be modest yet still sexy on the beach.
Here is a sarong over one piece bathing suits great for drawing attention away from some areas while accentuating others.
also there is what’s called a “Beach Coverup” as shown below.
here are a few more beachwear examples for full shaped women.

Give your answer to this question below!
Get a whole piece suit that has more coverage on your body. I’m sure it will give it a visually balance. It may not make it look smaller but I’m sure it’ will complement your look.
well. i seem to have the same problem. what i do is buy a bathing suit with a skirt attached. so your thighs never show. its worked pretty good for me. good luck!
boy short bottoms or the kind with a little skirt.
Check out Land’s End.com….they have really cute suits and a chart to help find what flatters your body type the best! Good luck!
Get a one piece and wear shorts or a skirt. But having big thighs isnt necessarily a bad thing. Either way good luck on the search.
Try drawing peoples attention away from your lower body adn up to your upper body. Go to the url I’ve pasted to see some tips.
Nice bikini top with a pair of board shorts.
Get something with a skirt bottom and a top that is longer and covers some of the top part. Just to everything looks even. If you have a tiny top and then a skirt at the bottom many look alittle funny. Good Luck.
Try something like this

If you go for a two-piece, wear solid on the bottom and a bright print on top, this draws attention away from your thighs.
If you opt for a one piece, you can use the same concept or take advantage of the swim-skirt or shorts. Do not get a two-piece with the cute boy shorts as a bottom though, this will make your butt look big and draw attention to your thighs.
For women (considering your nickname of Linda) there aren’t too many options but you do have some.
There’re some 1 piece swim suits that come down to just above your knees and the cover up all of your upperbody and about 90% of your thighs. These suits are usually skin-tight like UnderArmour and if you find a suit that’s just right for you you can look skinnier while staying comfortable.
As for 2 piece suits I’m really not sure what to say. Get a suit that’s a little tight but not too tight to kind of shrink up your upper thighs a bit. Unfortunitely though there’s no 2 piece suits that I know of that’ll come down to just above your knees.
Lastly you can also wear a bright top for a 2 piece while wearing a darker color for the bottoms. It all has to do with eye perception and how people’s eyes and sight are drawn to you.
