Gone are the days of wearing bikinis in public when you’re middle aged, and so Swimsuit Fashion and Style becomes much more strategic. It’s definitely a time to embrace one piece swimsuits, beach cover ups, large-protective hats, sunglasses, and skin blemish concealers.
This is a great looking one piece suit and large-protective hat I found on Etsy, but I tend to buy my swimwear at J.Crew. They have a lot of choices, the styles are flattering, and they fit well. Like this Bandeau Tank with an optional halter strap…
I got this one, and it is great. Fits perfectly by going off of their size chart, and the fabric is high quality, and it is extremely well made.
J.Crew has other flattering choices like this ruched one piece. The ruching cleverly cinches you in, and creates shape and line. …
Thank goodness we have cute beach cover ups now in such variety so that you can just keep your cover on all day, and say you’re watching your sun exposure. You’re still in your swimsuit, but can hide just about anything in something like this kaftan…
There will be that time you have to uncover of course, and expose your skin to the world. Middle aged skin tends to get a lot more blemished with something they call “spider veins”. And they call them spider veins, because they look like an ugly spider crawling on your skin. It costs thousands of dollars to get these removed, and then they can come back after all of that spent money. There is some leg and body makeup however, for a fraction of the cost like this Dermablend with SPF 15…
This is something I haven’t tried yet, but might look into. There is even a primer concealer stick that claims to cover tattoos…
Target is my go-to for sunglasses usually. You can find great style at great prices, especially when you know they will get beaten up, or could be lost easily. It’s really hard to go wrong with something like these for $16.99…
So Swimsuit Fashion & Style doesn’t have to end when you’re 40 or older, you just have to get more strategic in your choice of swimsuit, beach cover up, accessories and by all means…body makeup!;)
