Summer and going to the beach go hand-in-hand. Of course, going to the beach also means donning a bathing suit; a piece or two of stretchy fabric which can make it hard to hide any flaws. Instead of feeling insecure, find the perfect suit that will compliment your body.
Pear Shape
Avoid boy shorts as they will exacerbate curvy hips and thighs. Instead, flaunt your assets by wearing swim bottoms that are have tie or ring sides. These feminine bottoms will sexily show off your hips and thighs without making you look too hippy. Pair the barely-there bottoms with a strapless or halter top, and people will notice your sexy shoulders and waist instead of your voluptuous bottom half.
Boy Shape
Having a lack of curves doesn't have to stop you from looking sexy. Unlike with other body shapes, you can get away with mixing your patterns. The more outrageous the print, the more flattering the suit will be. Think polka dots, stripes, paisley, bright colors and other wild patterns. Bows and ruffles on top will create the illusion of a chest whereas high-cut bottoms will give your legs a sexy silhouette. Wearing boy shorts or strapless tops will only perpetuate your boy shape.
Top Heavy
Find a suit that will display your busty assets. A halter top will both show off your voluptuous curves and give you the support your bust needs. If your suit doesn't have a built-in bust, you'll end up looking droopy.
Small Chest
Getting a one-piece with a dramatic V-neck will help you avoid looking like you belong on the high school swim team. A bandeau top with subtle details like ruffles will give people the illusion that you have a bust. Stay away from any suits that have padding. The inserts tend to get water-logged which can leave you with an embarrassing situation.
