Ladies,
Swimsuit season should be about the joys of bright pedicures, poolside cocktails and leaving the house without a jacket – not the agony of trying to buy a swimsuit. We suggest choosing one feature you love – like your curves or your shoulders – and working around that, or focusing on where else you can draw attention if you’re trying to hide a certain feature. Happy shopping, and happy summer.
Love,

Disguise A Tummy
There are several options for minimizing or distracting from a not-totally-toned tummy: the tried-and-true Miraclesuit – especially this one, called the Waist Whittler – firms and contours your middle, while ruching at the side creates texture that disguises any bumps.
A shaping tankini can also do the trick, and this one has a high neckline to create an even longer line.
An adjustable tankini is also a good option; this tank incorporates ruching and is long enough to cover your tummy. Wear it with a mini swim skirt to make legs look longer.
Work With Your Curves
To outfit a curvy silhouette to its best advantage, choose suits with simple cuts that will show off your figure and won’t pinch in the wrong places, like this retro sheath swimsuit; the shape is feminine and alluring without being too revealing.
Same goes for this elegant one-shoulder swimsuit: the suit’s curvy lines will accent your own, and the one-shoulder design is just fashion forward enough.
For some slimming power to boot, this shaping tunic swimsuit is a good choice, with ruching and a longer, almost skirtlike cut.
If you’d rather wear a two-piece, try a tankini with an empire waist like this one – it also has a faux v-neck that draws eyes up towards the pretty beaded detail.
Show Off Stellar Shoulders
Showcase a toned top half with pieces that have spare straps – or no straps, like this bandeau bikini with a hipster bottom.
Halters also do well to show off shoulders.
This keyhole halter tankini also has a shelf bra for extra support.
If you’re looking to distract from your middle while drawing attention upwards, this halter tankini, with a longer top than the keyhole version, will also cover up a tummy.
Support An Ample Bust
Look for swimsuits that come sized like bras if your main concern is fitting a big bust: this v-neck suit (with slimming power) goes up to size DDD.
This one-piece tank boasts thick straps for extra support, plus molded cups that feel more like a bra than the traditional one-layer swimsuit top. As for bikinis, they should have molded cups and a strap that’s thicker than a string.
This retro-style top has both; pair it with hipster bottoms for a feminine, sophisticated look.
