Tips on Buying Swimsuits
(Published in The Manila Bulletin, Feb. 26, 2006)

Buying the right swimsuit for your body type is the key to looking good in swimwear. No one, save for a blessed few, looks perfect in swimwear. For those of us who have “real” bodies, choosing the right cut, color and style are key to looking and feeling great on the beach, by the pool or anywhere Summer 2006 takes you.

Sassa has launched its 2006 swimsuit collection with real women with real bodies in mind. The collection has a swimsuit for just about every body type.

Here are a few tips on how to get the best swimsuit for you this summer:

• Before buying a swimsuit take note of where your eye is first drawn on the suit. Chances are when people look at you wearing it, that’s the first place their eyes will fall as well. Make sure you are accentuating the best parts of your figure and not the parts you’d rather keep to yourself.
• To give yourself a boost in the bust area, Sassa has taken the particular needs of its customers in mind by adding special removable “bust enhancing” pads to a number of its swimsuit tops.
• For those with heavy hips, thighs or backsides, boy shorts are not just good for hiding your extra “assets” but for looking oh-so-stylish in the sun. Sassa swimsuits with boy-short bottoms are far from ordinary as they come in the most cheerful, bright colors and prints.
• If you are petite, a high-cut leg on the swimsuit makes your legs look longer. Sassa bikinis are sexy without being too revealing. Contrary to popular belief, the bikini is not exclusively for the super-thin runway model. Sassa bikinis are completely wearable—supermodel figure or not!
  

Sassa swimsuits can be found in the Sassa Activewear boutique on the 2/L Ali Mall, and in stores such as The Landmark, Robinsons Department Stores, Shopwise and Super SM Hypermarts. Also available nationwide in stores such as Mart 1 and Gaisano.
