"It's Amy Ellars here with Expert Village in sunny Malibu, California. I am here today to let you know what type of bathing suit will fit your type of body. I know that there are so many different types of bodies and so many types of bathing suits out there, that sometimes when you go shopping for a bathing suit next summer or this summer, you don't know what to get. Here are some tips for you. Right now, I'm going to let you now a little bit for short legs or short torso. One thing that you really need to make sure you do is find a bathing suit with a high cut on the side. This really helps elongate your legs and your torso by giving you a longer look. It really helps that out. Also, bright colors are great for this. It kind of gears the eye towards the color of the swimsuit and not the length of your leg or your body. Also, a great suit to wear would be a one-piece suit. This swimsuit is a great texture for short legs or short torso. It's a good color so it elongates you. As well as it has a high thigh, so it brings your legs up and makes them look a lot longer. It also has a plunging neckline, so it actually creates a nice long feel to your body. One thing to avoid is skirted bikinis or bathing suits. That's going to shorten your legs if they're already short as it is. That's one thing you really want to avoid. Just enjoy the beach, the sun, use bright colors, great textures of fabric, and have fun with it. You have a great body, so have a great time."
