Do You Know What is the Best Bikini for Your Body?

Bathing suit shopping can be exhausting and daunting, and you might not find the right one on your first shopping trip especially if bra shopping is difficult for you, you could be dreading trying on bathing suit tops. What you like might not be what you look good in, which can be so frustrating. Below are some tips and (cute accessories) we hope you find helpful when shopping for bathing suits and finding the right fit for your breast size.

Larger Chests
If you have a large chest, usually you need that extra top support so an underwire style is the best pick to help reduce dropping. On Glamour.com it states that "they should be sized by your cup size, which is how most women buy a bra. The actual underwire keeps you in place and the foam pad gives you shape," explained Amy Romanowsky, head of technical swim design at J.Crew.

Smaller Chests
If you have a small chest, you’re really fortunate to have your pick of most bikini tops. Women’s Health Magazine says to own “and rock the daring silhouettes that busty gals just can't wear (think skimpy strings, cutouts, one-shoulders, bandeaus, plunges). Or give yourself a sartorial boob job via ruffles, graphics, and push-up padding.” If you want to create the illusion of fuller breasts yet still want to look classy, you can choose between fun ruffles, florals and tiered fabric – all of these styles add volume and will still look trendy!

What is the Bikini Top Everyone Can Rock?
What looks best on all breast sizes is the flattering molded-cup halter. Sexy and stylish, the molded-cup halter bikini top will make a trendy statement wherever you rock it! This top is flattering because it’s a tie halter top and has molded push-up cups to give you a sexy shape.

Regardless if you have a large or small chest, embrace what you can wear! Even if you can’t find the trendiest top to fit, there are a lot of cute cover-ups that can up the wow factor of your bathing suit.

How to Wear a Statement Tee

If it seems like everywhere you turn, someone has a statement tee on, you are not alone. Statement tees have become one of the most popular tops to wear. These comfortable tops can be worn with nearly any outfit, but there are limits. It is important to consider the statement on the tee and the location you are wearing it. Once you learn how to wear a statement tee, you can bring them out of the gym and out into the world.


One of the best combinations is a cute, ironic statement with a skirt and cardigan. There are several adorable statement tees with words about popular literature, food, and love. These can be dressed up with a favorite skirt, like a pencil skirt, midi-skirt, or even a fun tulle skirt. But, since you are wearing a tee, you do not want to get too dressed up; so, you pair the skirt with a comfortable casual cardigan or wrap. The skirt and wrap should coordinate, but the tee can provide some variety. The cardi can cover some of the words and the outfit will still look cute. Many women will pair this look with a statement necklace and/or decorative earrings. You can easily wear tights with flats or booties for even more fun.


If you are in a cold climate, you can wear your favorite statement tee over a flannel shirt with your favorite jeans. To make the look unique, keep the tails of the flannel shirt poking out under the shirt. Since the statement tee will be front and center, you should be sure the statement is something you are comfortable wearing in public. It should fit with the casual look. Artfully torn jeans look fantastic with flannels, so if you have distressed jeans, this is the outfit to wear with them. You can add booties or long boots with cuffs. You could also wear this with chunky winter boots, too. A scarf can also add to the look.


Statement tee shirts can also look great with different types of jackets. If you are looking for a casual look, pair the tee with jeans and a bomber jacket. You can also wear them with cigarette pants and a fitted blazer. Women also look great when they wear them with cute leather jackets, especially with a pretty skirt for an ironic, but fun look. The statement tees that look best with jackets are the ones with single words across the chest. It is best to pick tees with simple fonts when you pair them with multiple pieces.


Another fun look is more appropriate for warmer climates. Statement tees look great with a cute pair of shorts. If you know you are going in and out of air conditioned places, it can be helpful to have a chambray shirt tied around your waist so you can throw it on quickly if you get cold. Some women will also wear a warm-weather scarf as a fun accessory. You can wear strappy sandals or your favorite canvas sneakers with an outfit like this.

Our Bring It Up breast shapers can help keep everything covered, even if the tees are white and somewhat sheer.

Hot Holiday Fashion: How to Wear Boots Winter 2015

Boots and booties are the hottest trend in footwear right now. Long gone are the days where women had to spend hundreds of dollars to get a great pair of boots. They have become so affordable that women can have several pairs to wear with all types of outfits.


Popular Booties


One of the most popular styles of boots right now is the ankle bootie. These are short boots that stop right above the ankle. They usually have a strong heel and some details. These short boots look fantastic with jeans and leggings. In most cases, they should not be worn with socks showing out of the top. They should have a clean line between the top of the boots and the bottom of the pant legs. Some women will roll their jeans at the ankle to show off the booties. With booties, there is no need to perfectly color match them, but they should be matched based on the style of your outfit. For example, a rustic oversized sweater and jeans should be paired with booties with a distressed, rugged look. A polished work outfit should be paired with clean, professional looking booties.The only thing to be alert to is if your booties look like they belong in the marching band rather that on a fashion commercial.


Winter Boots with Knit Accents


Another popular type of boot for the holidays is the leather boot that is layered with knits. These boots often have some bulk to them. This type of boot resembles the suede boots with shearling insides, but the upper has a knit or fabric detail that gives them a rustic look. Sometimes the cuff designs can be removed and changed. These look great with leggings and a big sweater for a comfortable apres-ski look. It is important not to over-accessorize with these bulky boots, but they usually look great with a coordinating infinity scarf made from a chunky or fluffy knit.



How to Wear Thigh-high Boots


Thigh-high boots are no longer reserved for party dresses and sexy outfits. They can easily be worn with everyday skirts that stop above the knee. To tone down the boots, it is best to wear a skirt in the same color as the boots so they make a long clean line together. If you live in a colder climate, you can pair colored tights with the boots to keep your legs warm. When you pick a mini-skirt to wear with thigh-high boots, the skirt should hit below the fingertips so it not too short. It can be fun to pair the skirt with a tee with a bold statement on it and a traditional peacoat



Keep It Simple in Suede


Suede boots in a calm brown can look fantastic with leggings and a long sweater dress. If the sweater dress is long enough, tights in a complementary color can also accentuate the beautiful suede boots. Many women will add a pair of long socks or boot cuffs to peek out of the top for a little extra accessorizing.

Your Shoes: Your Personality

Women have a love affair with shoes. There are plenty of reasons why shoes are the favorite accessory for women. First of all, they always fit, even on your most bloated days. Secondly, they can help women feel a certain way. Thirdly, they last a long time, so they seem more like an investment than an expense. It is true that women can show their attitudes through the shoes they choose to wear, it is also true that the shoes you pick show something about you.


Look through your shoe racks and take note of what type of shoes you have the most of. That type of shoe has become your favorite for a reason. It could be because they are extremely comfortable or possibly even because they are incredibly sexy. Here are a few of the popular styles of shoes and what they show about their owners:


Ballet Flats: These comfortable little shoes make a girl look like a girl. They also add a retro feel to many outfits, especially when they are paired with skirts or slightly cropped pants. It is difficult to make a pair of ballet flats look edgy.


Bold sneakers: You like to exercise and you are not afraid to show it. You have so many sneakers that you do not need to save them for the gym. With statement sneakers, you can even wear them with your professional clothing, which really shows that you are edgy and tough.


Birkenstocks: Your are laid back. While these comfortable sandals have been on-trend lately, the ultimate Birk-wearer knows these kicks last forever and are incredibly comfortable. You might even be the person who loves to be barefoot - all of the time.


Chic Pumps: Whether you wear them in black, red, white, or metallics, a great pump always looks sexy. There is no way to make them look frumpy - and you know it, which is why you wear these. The woman with the closet full of pumps and stilettos is sexy and she is not afraid to show it.


Slip-ons: From Toms to Vans, the slip on looks a bit tomboyish. You are a casual person and you need a shoe you can get in and out of quickly and easily. You might not be able to wear these to work, but you can wear them everywhere else!


Tiny sandals: The beach is your favorite place to be and you are confident with your feet. Women who wear sandals usually prefer to wear no shoes at all.


Rainboots: These fun shoes show that you are practical - sort of. You are prepared for the weather, but if you have more than one pair of rainboots, you like to splurge, too.


Fashion boots: If you have plenty of fashion boots in your closet, you probably live in a cold place. You like the feeling of your feet and legs being covered. Since some boots are quite sexy, you might even be the type of person who has an understated sex appeal.

Build Confidence with the Clothes You Wear

When you want to improve your self confidence, look no further than your wardrobe. Think about how great you feel when you are wearing your favorite dress with perfect shoes and accessories. There is no reason to not feel this way every time you step out of the house.



With body awareness at an all time high, women are concerned with the way they look most of the day. Some experts say that women think negative thoughts about their bodies over 10 times each day. But, if your closet is filled with clothes that make you look and feel great, you do not have to be the average woman with above average negative self-talk.


One of the best ways to build self esteem and show your confidence to the world is to accentuate your assets. Maybe you have strong shoulders or a beautiful decolletage. You might even have an hourglass shape. Or, maybe your intoxicating green eyes are what make you feel special. No matter what part of your body you want to show off, there are clothes that will do it for you. It is easy to show off amazing eye color with tops or scarves in complementary colors. You can show off your shoulders with necklines that accentuate the shape. You can show off your cleavage with the right neckline, too.


Something to consider about showing off your assets is that you do not want to show off all of your assets. You can accentuate a bust line without baring all. In some cases, accentuating features means that you avoid certain clothing cuts. For example, if you do have a full bust, you should avoid wearing tops that hang at the bust line, because they will not curve the rest of your body and can make you look like you are wearing a tent. You can show off your strong shoulders by wearing clothes that fit at the waist, too.


When you know what looks good on your body, you can dress your body perfectly every day of the week. You do not have to wait for special occasions to look your best. You can find fabrics that feel good on your skin and hang in all the right places. You can even find accessories that make your fingers, wrists, ankles, and feet look just as good, too.


Creating self-confidence with your clothing is also dependent on what you wear underneath your clothes, You can show off your shoulders, but if you wear the wrong undergarments, you can be uncomfortable or create unwanted bulges and wrinkles. One way to avoid discomfort or poor fit is to turn to Bring It Up for the perfect undergarment. Our nipple covers, breast lifters, and breast shapers can seriously boost confidence quickly. Your favorite outfits will look and feel even better when you do not have to worry about bra straps or unwanted back bulges.
