The red one-piece swimsuit . . .
If there’s one thing you buy this spring or summer, make it a red one-piece swimsuit. They come in so many different shapes, styles and even hues. Plus experts across the board tend to agree that the color RED is universally flattering. In the mood to shop? I’ve made it my mission to find the cutest options for you to choose from. Let’s have a little look see, shall we.
Why I Love My Red Swimsuit
It makes me feel like a BAYWATCH BABE. Kidding, but only kind of.
I know I’m not alone when I share my hesitations + anxieties about swimsuit season. After two babies, my body just isn’t the same as it used to be. Don’t get me wrong–it’s not a bad thing! Even though I’m still learning how to love my body after pregnancy, I do swear by this one trick: wear red.
It may sound silly, but this trick has always been one of my go-to’s. Why you ask? The color red is considered a power color. It instantly triggers something in your brain that makes you feel more confident, more attractive and more capable. (Read about it in this Bustle article.) The color red is also made up of both cool tones and warm tones. It’s the perfect balance. This means that red looks good on any skin tone and with any hair color.
Next time you need a poolside confidence boost, reach for that red one-piece swimsuit. It is scientifically proven, after all.

Oh girl, this swimsuit is giving me LIFE with how you’re wearing it!

Amanda says
I would love a red swimsuit, and actually, I used to have one! But I think I’m far too self-conscious to wear one, hehe! I have yet to find a swimsuit that actually fits me. YOU, however, are totally rocking this! Swimsuit season is my least but most favorite at the same time. Is that even possible?

You ROCKED that red swimsuit! I just adore that ruffled one-piece. I may have to buy it before summer hits!
