How to Find a swimsuit for your body shape

Find a bathing suit / swimsuit for your body shape and type! Everyone looks good in simple black one-piece, but you can also try a tankini, monokini, bikini, two-piece...you name it, and still look Good.

Things You'll Need

• Your sexy body

Instructions

1. Determine your bodyshape. Are you a pear? Top-heavy? Hourglass? Small bust? Thick middle? Plus-size?

2. Pear shapes look best in two-piece suits with an eye-catching top and a dark bottom, to draw the eye away from the problem area.

3. Top-heavy women don't need to wear a sport top to get good support. Try something with a halter top, and make sure it has thick straps. Make sure to avoid strapless bandeaus and triangle tops!

4. Hour-glass shapes look best in...every kind of suit! But a two-piece can best show off that womanly form. You don't need to be super thin, either. Just make sure you choose a suit with enough coverage, and you'll look stunning!

5. For a small-bust, or boy-shape, bikinis with horizontal stripes, push-up underwire, or padded tops can create some extra va-va-voom up there. Also try a cut-out one piece to create curves

6. For women with tummy troubles or full-figures, one-pieces with side shirring, ruching or built-in control panels hide belly bulges.
   Diagonal lines and dark side panels that curve in at the waist have slimming effects. Suits with a high Lycra content provide more tummy control, and high-waistband bottoms flatter the midsection. Avoid: styles that cut across the body horizontally and two-pieces with bottoms that dig into the stomach area.

7. Once you find the perfect suit, take your sexy self out to the beach or pool with confidence!

Tips & Warnings

• Avoid any style that pinches or cuts into your body.

• Too big is always better than too-small, because you can tighten it.
