Nothing says summer like rocking your
fave bikini, right? The tricky part is finding that perfectly flattering suit.
We’re dishing tips to find the best suit for your shape. Want more tips? Check
out our June/July issue!
Curvy cuties
Play up your feminine figure in this
flirty pink two-piece. The bra-inspired top will offer just the right amount of
support while still being fashion-forward. Skirted bottoms are fab for curvy
chicas, allowing for a bit more coverage—super slimming!
Petite pretties
Your frame may be mini but you can still
flaunt your figure in the right bikini. Funky patterns are great way for
petites to look and feel more mature. We love this sassy black and white polka
dot bikini because it shows off your shape without looking too young. The key?
Bigger, bolder dots. Petite polkas read a bit babyish.
Pear princesses
Do your curvy hips and small chest have
you in a bikini bind? Bold, eye-catching prints are a great way to visually
balance out your proportions. We love this exotic print inspired by the beaches
of Brazil! Scour the racks for a ruffled top that adds a lil’ extra oomph up
top. Wanna go one step further? Mix and match your suits and rock a patterned
top with a solid bottom. All attention will be instantly drawn upwards.

Ruler babes
A stick-straight bod gets instant shape
with a quick hit of ruffles. This pretty pastel yellow is totally on trend for
summer and layers of flirty ruffles will help create the illusion of curves
(yay!). Off the beach, rock the top with a button-down chambray shirt and denim
shorties. Sweet!

Hourglass hauties
If you’ve got an out-in-out bod shaped
like an hourglass, you should be looking for a bikini that totally flaunts your
itty-bitty waist. We love this pure white corset-inspired bikini that draws
attention to your mini middle. Now all ya need is a sparkly pair of sandals and
you’ll be beach ready!
