Have you ever wandered around department store racks of bright and adorable swimwear thinking, “I love that; but there’s no way that bathing suit will look good on me?” Well summer is obviously here, and it’s time to find the perfect bathing suit/bikini. We need to realize that no matter what type of body shape we have, we all have great figures. Below are some tips and looks to finding swimwear that is perfect for your body type.
Small to Medium Size Bust – If you are opting for a bikini, a triangle shaped top is good. It will make the bust appear larger. If you have a small to medium size chest, a strapless top is also attractive.

Medium to Large Bust – Look for swimwear with built in underwire! You want something that will give you a lift (no saggy boobs.) Look for straps with good support (just like buying a bra.) Halter top style bathing suits/bikini tops are also good for support. Halter style swimwear can also minimize wide shoulders.

Long Torso – A bikini or tankini may fit better than a regular bathing suit. A bikini and tankini will give room to move, but a bathing suit is only so long. If it doesn’t fit properly, parts of your body can appear larger than they actually are. I have a long torso and larger bottom half so instead of drawing attention to my hips, I wear a bikini to show off my waist. Think about showing off your best assets! If you have great legs, you may want a bathing suit or bikini that is very high cut.
Straight up and down – First of all, you are lucky because most swimwear will probably work. If you want to add some curves a great option is a cut out one piece suit.

Curvy – Find something to show off your sexy curves. If you have a small waist, a bikini will accentuate your curves. If you have a tummy, there are many one piece suits that have minimizers built in to make you look as slim as possible but sill display your hourglass figure.

Remember to accessorize when you go to the beach or pool. A straw hat is a great accessory as it keeps the sun out of your face and looks so glamorous. A cover-up is must. Most designers sell cover-ups to match a bathing suit or bikini. It’s not always necessary to match your cover-up exactly to your bathing suit. Invest in one nice cover-up that will work with all of your swimwear. Add fun bangles and earrings to complete your beach look.
Most importantly….don’t forget your sunscreen!! Happy Summer!!
