Prepare to be the ultimate bombshell: whether hiding specific areas or showing off your best assets, these genius style tricks and super flattering suits will make the most swimsuit-skeptic gal into a certified sun goddess.

If you are looking to slim down your hips…

We recommend a solid color bottom. Too much print or bold colors will bring more attention to hips. In this case; less is definitely more! Bring more focus up top by choosing a swimsuit top that is a lighter. Color, or with fun details or a pretty pattern. Finally, choose a fairly high-cut bottom that will create the illusion of longer, leaner legs. 

 

 

If You Want The Illusion Of A Tummy Tuck …

We recommend choosing swimsuit fabrics that are matte instead of shiny. A shiny swimsuit will accentuate every lump and bump. Switch out your tankini top for a controlled top One piece. Finally, show some skin by choosing a silhouette with a high-cut leg or low-cut- top to draw attention away from your mid-section.


  

 

If You Want To Flatter Your Curves …

If you want to show off your natural curves, we recommend stripes! Stripes can be super flattering if they’re vertical or angled across your body. A bikini can be super flattering if done right. Avoid thin string ties that can dig and create bulges. Ruched detail can also create the appearance of a smaller waist!

   

 

If You Want To Support A Bigger Bust …

If you're bigger than a D Cup, ditch the triangle top and stay away from high necklines.  Underwire is your friend and is essential for additional support. It will also lift and shape your chest.

 

    

If You Want The Appearance Of A Larger Bust …

Try a bikini top that has underwire. Underwire will help give shape and lift. Any swim top that has ruffles, beading, and pleating will enhance your chest as they add bulk and visual interest. Finally, stay away from bandeau tops as then tend to flatten you.
