Do it for You, not for Anyone Else’s Approval
If you’re going to post a swimsuit selfie to impress other people, don’t do it. If you’re taking it for yourself, to document a special or beautiful moment and to make yourself feel more confident and proud, then go for it.
It’s OK if you Want to Cover Up
The swimsuit selfie does not need to be overly sexy or revealing. Sure, some bathing suits are skimpy, and some celebrities are all about those sassy shots in barely-there bathing suits, flaunting their curves with no shame. But that doesn’t need to be you. As Cosmo tells it, it’s OK to cover up in a selfie. Grab your favorite sarong or towel, rock a wide-brimmed hat, take a photo that is a close-up of your face (and not your body)…do what makes you comfortable and what makes you feel beautiful.
