Actress (30 Rock, Dietland) and fat activist Jen Ponton explains that finding well-fitting swimwear is crucial, and that starting the search in spring will only get you more excited for the summer. She tells Jil Dever, “Don't be afraid to go for a design that excites you! Whether it's a fatkini or something bright and bold, there are more and more people out there normalizing fat, fabulous, swim-ready bods. I've even circled back to one-pieces because so many designers are making creative, bold, [and] sexy designs for them.”
