Help, I Dare Not Wear A Monokini On The Beach!

1. Practice At Home

It sounds weird, but it will help you immensely. Put on your monokini and hang out around the house. Do the laundry, watch Netflix, cook dinner. Whatever you do at home, do it in monokini. This allows you to sit comfortably in the bathing suit or not. Because maybe the bottom or top is too tight or too big, and it's just awkward to walk around in. But you may also find that this type of swimsuit makes your body look great. This will help you decide if you like the way it fits before heading to the beach. Plus, it forces you to spend some time with your body in a way you normally wouldn't.

2. Surround Yourself With Friends And Family

People who support and love you when you're nervous or self-critical are your go-to. Go to the beach with some friends who will make you feel confident and help you focus on having fun rather than how you look. Don't spend your time with people who compare their bodies (and yours!) to others, or who complain or feel ashamed. It's hard enough dealing with your own inner critics. The last thing you need is for someone else to take your body down.

3. Find The Right Monokini For Your Body Type

Choosing the right monokini can make all the difference. By trying different styles, you will discover which monokini suits your body. This will do wonders for you to feel confident on the beach.

4. Every Body Is Worth A Monokini

When you realize that you don't have to do a juice cleanse or special training to feel confident on the beach, not only choosing a monokini becomes easy, but also wearing a monokini. Swimming, lounging by the pool with a good book, catching up with a good friend while laying on a beach towel, walking along the water - there are so many fun activities you can do in a monokini without having to go all the way up and down the beach. Being active and eating healthy is always good for you, but know that your body is ready for a monokini at any time.

5. Invest In A Good Cover-up And Fun Accessories

Walking from your safe place on the beach to the water or the beach bar can be the most awkward, scary walk ever. But if you have the right cover that makes you feel less vulnerable on that walk, your day at the beach will only get better. Want something that covers your entire body? A long maxi dress is the trend. A sheer wrap dress or top shows off your monokini while feeling a little more modest. It even makes you feel like you're drinking margaritas all day on a Mexican beach. Taking the time to make your monokini look extra fabulous can make a huge difference. Whether it's a nice pair of sunglasses, a straw hat, the perfect beach bag or a cute pair of beach shoes, these accessories will give your confidence that extra boost you need.
