Step 1
Emphasize your defined waist by choosing a two-piece swimsuit. Bikinis show the most skin and will highlight your curves the best. If you are not comfortable wearing a suit that reveals so much, try a tankini. These styles cover most of the stomach but feature a separate bottom, offering the convenience of a two-piece with more coverage.

Step 2
Play up your curvy shape with a fun print. Because an hourglass figure is considered the perfect shape for swimwear, you can feel free to choose a more dramatic print that will draw attention to your body.
-
Step 3
Choose a swimsuit with a V-neckline if you have a larger bust. This will draw attention away from the chest and toward your neck and collarbone. If you have a smaller bust, a higher neckline will help camouflage the bust and instead emphasize your shoulders.

Step 4
Feel free to experiment with swimwear styles. Aside from the traditional bikini bottoms, boy shorts and skirted bottoms are available. When paired with a bikini top of the same print, these styles provide a fun and flirty alternative to the standard bikini.

Step 5
Shop at stores or order from catalogs that sell swimsuit tops and bottoms separately, so you can purchase the exact sizes you need.
