If you’re pear-shaped
Draw the attention away from your hips and to your small waist with a high-waisted bikini body. Keep the lighter colors on top so you look slim all over.

If you have some tummy
If you have a little pouch going on, don’t worry! So do most women. Look for a one- piece that includes some tummy control. The ruching at the midriff of this navy blue number will make your stomach look flatter and your waist look slimmer.

If you have big boobs
For women with bigger busts, finding a swim suit in their bra size could be a challenge. Look for a bikini top that comes in your size and with thick straps that will help hold the girls up and keep them fully supported.

If you have a small bust
If you have small ta-tas you can probably get away with a bandeau strapless bikini top. I love to mix and match these with different color bottoms.

If you’re voluptuous
If you’ll all over curvy, accentuate those curvas with a one-piece suit that will help cover those pesky areas as well as show off that incredible hour-glass shape.

If you have an athletic built
Look for a flirty bikini that will make your straight figure appear curvier. A super feminine ruffled style would do the trick.

If you have big butt
Look for cute boy shorts or bikini bottoms that feature wide waistbands that will give you a little more coverage. A retro-inspired one-piece also does a good job at covering and adds a nice glamorous flair.
