Every woman on Earth has her own shape and size. The trick to looking good in a swimsuit is picking the right style for your body type.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    First you should decide if you have a long or short torso(middle). If you have a short torso, there are ways to lengthen the appearance of it in your swimsuit. You should wear a suit with high cut legs or a one piece with a plunging neckline to lengthen your legs and torso. The boy shorts and skirts should be worn if you have a long torso, but don't wear strips or high necklines.

  2. Step 2

    If you have a larger abdomen, you may want to look into a one piece with support or a tankini. In this case, you should avoid small bikinis.

  3. Step 3

    If you have a large bottom, try wearing a bikini bottom that has a straight miniskirt or about three inch sides. Don't wear boy shorts or skimpy bikinis.

Tips & Warnings
  • Try on different styles.
