Get In The Swim - Some Tips To Choosing The Best Bikini

by

For many, sunbathing on the beach or around a pool can be an intimidating experience. No matter how healthy or fit you are, some parts of your body are bound to cause you concern. Our star tips will have you looking your gorgeous best this summer.

* Short Neck – look for plunging necklines but steer clear of halter neck styles as they draw attention to the problem area

* Narrow shoulders – go for boob-tube style and bandeau tops that make your shoulders look broader

* Broad shoulders – halter necks are the best style here

* Big bust – choose something with plenty of support to prevent the saggy look

* Flat chest – opt for cups that contain some padding to boost your bust

* Short body – pick vertical stripes that make you look longer

* Pot Belly – cover a tummy with short-style bottoms or a swimsuit with added control and stick to dark colours

* Wide hips – pick bikini tops with plenty of detail to draw the eye away from your bottom half

* Chunky thighs – wear a sarong over your bikini or choose longer, shorts-style bottoms again in darker colours which minimise size

* Large bum – choose a light coloured bikini for a size-minimising effect

* Short legs – choose a high-cut skimpy bikini to add length to your legs

**STAR TIP*** Always pack a sarong for beach breaks. It can be used to cover a multitude of sins and is the ultimate speedy outfit for café or bar breaks.
