plus size swimsuit models pictures

This page is dedicated to pictures of plus size swimsuit models and the aim of the page is to inspire all plus size women out there when it comes to wearing swimsuits. We have used some of the most well known and respected models in plus size fashion in order to take inspiration for this page and we have laid out the swimwear models accordingly.

It is worth pointing out as well that there are lots of plus size swimwear models pictures available online – Google images is a great place where you can find such pictures and is also a source for much of our research when writing this article. Having said that, if you are just searching in the Google web results you may have noticed that most of the top ten results don’t really show many pictures of plus size women but rather they show women with slimer figures – this is the problem with plus size fashion and how it is perceived still and it is another reason why we decided to put this article together.

Georgina Grogan

Georgina Grogan is one of the most well known bloggers within the plus size fashion niche – she writes regularly on her blog as well as on social media accounts including her Twitter account. She is very confident when it comes to fashion and often makes bold statements with the clothes that she wears. She is a great inspiration to may women with plus size figures and her style and confidence when it comes to swimwear is something to be taken notice of.

The above swimsuit picture is actually one of our favourite swimming outfits. Modelled again by Georgina Grogan this blue white and pink swimsuit is really bold, bright and really accentuates a fuller figure. At the same time it is still somewhat modest to the body and can be comfortably worn by a wide range of different body shapes and sizes.

kelly Augustine

Kelly Augustine is a fashion blogger from NewYork who posts regularly about plus size fashion on her blog. Because Kelly is from a country that sees a lot of nice wheather she often posts about swimwear and has done some great shoots, which are available on her blog, and modelled some really cool swimwear recently. The thing we have found as well is that over in the US there is a much more positive and accepting vibe when it comes to plus size fashion. In fact in the US it is just considered to be another body size/shape the same as any other. Whereas in the UK we don’t quite seem to have the same equality when it comes to the plus size figure. This is evident when searching for plus size fashion in the UK compared to the US – in the UK the results are always dominated by clothing modelled on slimer figures (Even when that clothing range is targeted at the fuller figure) whereas in the US there are always plus size models wearing those ranges that are geared towards the fuller figure (rant over).

In these two images taken from Kelly Augustine’s blog you can see two very different outfits. Both fit nicely under the category of plus size swimwear models pictures as they are both outfits that are directly associated with swimming and swimwear fashion. The first is a golden brown one peice swimwear outfit that is very trendy whilst also being quite modest in design. This outfit compliments Kelly’s skin very nicely but would also look equaly great against other skin colours.

The second outfit is a wrap around dress with a green and yellow leopard print design. This outfit is exceptionally cool because it is both reserved and outgoing at the same time – this is perfect for someone with a fuller figure that doesnt want to “bear all” but at the same time wants to show off a bit of skin.

Shainna Tucker

Shainna runs a fashion website called a thick girls closet. She hails from Jersey and is very passionate about the promotion of the plus size figure, especially within the fashion industry. Below you can see some of the great plus size swimsuit outfit pictures that Shainna has published on her blog and other social media avenues. You can probably see a common theme here already – all of the models in these plus size swimsuit images are very confident in their appearance – this is smoething that should be acknowledged by every plus size woman and also by anyone and everyone that is involved in fashion – having a plus size figure is something to be proud of and you should all fell confident about showing that figure off.

We definitely beleive in #keeptheplus, not because there should be a segragation of plus size and other sizes within the fashion industry or society as a whole but rather because a fuller figure is something to be proud of and something to use in your favour to differentiate yourself when it comes to fashion.

This is another swimsuit outfit that we love. This outfit is a combination of a tankini style swimsuit along with a open and flowing white dress. We feel like this outfit takes a modest swimwear outfit that someone with a plus size figure might typically have worn to cover themselves up (the long flowing dress) and then adds an element of sexiness and style that just screems #wewearwhatwewant. This creates a great statement of acceptance for the fuller figure and goes to prove more than ever that plus size is just as sexy, if not more sexy, than any other type of body shape.

Tess Holliday

We havn’t really covered Tess Holliday on this website up until now, but Tess is a name that should never be missed out when talking about plus size fashion. She really is an ambasitor for the fuller figure and someone that is an inspiration to plus size women all around the world. In the below images you can see Tess modelling a couple of really trendy swimsuits that are simple yet effective and really give off that reveiling and alluring vibe that screams absolute body confidence.
