Okay, so I’ve been seeing these “long leg” bathing suits all over my feed, and I was like, “I gotta try this.” I’m not exactly blessed in the leg department, so anything that promises to make them look longer is worth a shot, right?
First, I scoured the internet for options. I wanted something high-waisted, obviously, because that’s the whole point. But there are, like, a million different styles.
My Shopping Spree(A Lot of Trail and Error)
- Tried on a bunch of different cuts. Some were way too cheeky for my comfort level. Others had these weird ruffles that just made me look wider, not taller. Nope, nope, nope.
- Found a couple that seemed promising. One was a simple black one-piece with a really high cut on the leg. The other was a two-piece with high-waisted bottoms and a cute, sporty top.
The Moment of Truth–The Beach Test!
I took both suits to the beach to see how they actually looked and felt in action. Because let’s be real, what looks good in a dressing room can be a total disaster in real life.
- The one-piece: Okay, this one definitely made my legs look longer! I felt pretty good in it, but it wasn’t the most comfortable for swimming. The high cut kept riding up, and I was constantly adjusting it.
- The two-piece: This one was more comfortable, and it still gave me that elongated leg look. Plus, I liked that I could mix and match the top with other bottoms.
The Verdict
So, after all that, I decided the two-piece was the winner. It gave me the long-leg look I wanted, and it was actually comfortable enough to wear all day. I felt confident, I felt cute, and I didn’t spend the whole day tugging at my swimsuit. Win-win!
My takeaway? These suits are definitely worth a try if you want to add a little length to your legs. But be prepared to try on a few different styles to find the one that works best for your body type. And don’t be afraid to prioritize comfort – nobody wants to spend a beach day feeling self-conscious and uncomfortable!
