Finding a style for your shape

All of this swimsuit advice can be mind boggling when you are on the hunt for a swimsuit but just keep the following style tips in mind when shopping and trying on swimwear: •Short Torsos: Vertical stripes or prints will make your body look longer. •Long Torsos: High leglines and low necklines shorten body length. Stay away from vertical stripes. •Hide Your Tummy: Styles that focus the eye in other places are best. Try a printed top with a solid pant. Also, try a one piece that is slimming in the torso or that will move the eyes toward the bust line. Tankinis also work great at hiding your tummy. •Boy-Shaped Body: Look for styles that create a waist. Avoid plain suits. •Small Chest: Bold prints and bold colors always flatter. Bandeau tops only put emphasis on small chests. •Large Chest: Support should be your number one concern. Underwire tops will provide the best support. Halter tops, especially ones with a wide band, also provide good support. Stay away from patterns that emphasize the bust. Try a solid top with a printed bottom. •Large Hips or Saddle Bags: Draw attention to your top half. Choose styles with vertical stripes, dark slimming colors, or with bust details. Try a solid pant with a printed top.
