Now that your body is ready for the swim season, the next very important task to accomplish is to find the perfect bikini for your body type. Finding the right swimsuit is an art necessary to master for every woman regardless of age.

Create major curves with a bandeau top. The rounded neckline of this bikini, along with twist details, give the illusion of a fuller chest– but also, just how cute is it?

Don’ts

Padded or push-up tops– too obvious! The beach is all about freedom and it’s so much more natural and flattering without all the underwire cups and serious padding.

Full Hips

This mesh halter bikini has basically the shape of a statement necklace, keeping the focus on your face. It also shows off your toned shoulders giving you a more athletic and balanced look.

Don’ts

Ruffles or boyshorts will add more to your widest point. Keeping it simple with a classic bikini bottom is the way to go!

A slender physique works well with almost any swimsuit, but a delicate string bikini is particularly flattering. Geometric patterns or the triangle top adds more curves to the top.

Full Chest

Choose tops with wider straps and more substantial cups. Not only does that provide more support, it also balances your curves.

Don’ts 

Since you have beautiful feminine physique, let the body do the talking for you.

For most chic and pulled-together style, stay away from anything super girly and feminine like lace, ruffles, extreme florals, bows, etc. Something sleek in an eye-catching solid will do more for you (think Halle Barry in 007).

How to Accessorize the Perfect Bikini

• Prepare your skin. Here is how.
• Do a mani-pedi in bright colors that look best on the sand.
• Pick an easy and beautiful hair style. This list of easy-to-do messy updos offers a few sexy options.
• Do wear jewelry. Something like a fun bracelet, necklace, or ring sounds like overkill when you’re heading out the door, but then you get to the beach and feel so fabulous. This is what makes it a beach outfit!
• Find a great cover-up. A cotton dress or a tunic, romper, surf shorts, a gauzy sweater or even an oversize chambray shirt.
