“Bikini Body” from our Fashion Expert

I know some of you probably don’t break out the swimsuit right away but that time is approaching.  Keep in mind, a big part of having a "bikini body" is to look and feel confident in a suit that fits your body type!  Here’s a quick and easy guide when swimsuit shopping.

Small Bust – There’s nothing wrong with a bit of padding, just don’t go too crazy!  Halter styles are a good natural alternative to a push-up without wiring.  Also, fun details, ruffles and embellishments around the bust line help to enhance.

Large Bust – Your main concern is support!  Underwire will be your friend when looking for a swimsuit.  Avoid teeny tiny unsupportive swimsuit tops like the bandeau.  If possible, opt for wider straps as opposed to spaghetti straps for added comfort.

Short Torso – Wearing a solid bottom with a printed top will draw the eyes upward, giving you a lengthy appearance.

Long Torso – You’d look great in monokinis and boy shorts if you are wearing a two piece. 

Bottom Heavy – Avoid teeny bottoms and go for supportive bottoms with a wider band on the sides.  Also, those bikinis with the skirt bottoms are super cute for this body type!

Straight – If you lack the curves, a decorated bikini would look good on you, enhancing the right spots leaving your waist appearing smaller.  Try to avoid solid one pieces because they will immediately straighten you out!
