Surely wearing a white bikini was in the realms of tanned models and actresses? The answer to this is no - with a good figure, anyone pale or tanned can wear a white bikini, but there are a few provisos.



Fake tans rub off
If you are naturally pale, don't be tempted to use fake tan if you are wearing a white bikini. Any fake tan or tinted moisturiser can easily rub off leaving the edges of the white bikini with an unfashionable orange stain. No matter how pale you are, wearing a white bikini will make you look more suntanned than you actually are.

See-through nightmare
If you are planning to swim in your white bikini, make sure you pick one that is fully lined as the material has a tendency to appear see through when it gets wet. Again, if you have used fake tan, this is where the tan can wash or rub off. It's also important to make sure you are well groomed if you are choosing a white bikini.

Uma Thurman chooses white
A good indication also is to look at the celebrities that have been currently spotted wearing white bikinis. Uma Thurman and Britney Spears who are both pale skinned lovelies have been seen on the beach wearing white bikinis. The white bikini is extremely flattering and made Uma Thurman look more bronzed than she actually was. If the white bikini is good enough for Uma, it's good enough for us!

So don't worry about a sun tan. A white bikini is flattering no matter what shade of pale you are. It will show your body off in style and you'll make a confident statement on the beach.
