When choosing your bikini, you want to make sure that you are in with the latest trends but also that they style you choose suits your body shape and shows your body off at it’s very best when you hit the beach.
By choosing the right style of bikini, you can ensure that you feel relaxed and confident on the beach and have a great summer wherever you are.
Though there are many times dressing a petite frame can be quite frustrating, buying your bikini is one time that a smaller frame can really go to town.
Of all body sizes, the petite woman is more likely to be able to carry off bright colours and bold patterns than any other type of woman. Avoid block plain colours which can draw the eye and go to town with colour and design to give you the best look this summer.
The skimpy tie side bikini bottoms, which are so in fashion this summer, look superb as they accentuate the length of your legs and ensure a great silhouette when you are on the beach. If you are not confident enough to wear the tie sided bikini bottoms, team your bikini top with high sided briefs, a pair of very short hipsters or high sided shorts which can look fantastic and provide the same look and feel.
If your body is more pear shaped, the aim of the bikini is to draw the eye upwards. Keep the bottoms small and neutral so that you don’t accentuate the larger area or draw the eye down and then go to town on the top half. A halterneck style top will broaden the shoulders while using bright colours and integrated padding will ensure that the focus in most definitely on the way up.
If you have a more curvy shape, a matching top and bottoms will accentuate your curves and highlight your fantastic proportions. By keeping straps thin and your colours bright you will ensure you get the best look but make sure that if you are bigger on the chest you have the support required to keep your costume in place all day long. A halterneck top is more likely to give you the support you require, look for hidden support without padding to provide you with the best shape.
A straight, more rectangular, body shape needs some definition. This can easily be provided by a bandeau style bikini, a hot fashion item this season for those with the right body shape but you do need the right bust size. Your bust must be firm without being too small. A bandeau will reduce the apparent size of your bust and if you are already a little concerned, this could be a fashion disaster. If you want to avoid the bandeau or want some extra support in the bust area, go for an underwired or secret support bra style top and keep your bikini fun and bold to give that extra definition. Differing your top and bottoms for a rectangular body shape can give you extra definition and make the most of your style this summer.
So go to town this summer and find the right bikini for you. It doesn’t have to cost the earth as there are plenty of cheap bikinis which provide the style, support and quality you are looking for without costing the earth. The main thing is to look and feel confident. If you do, you will carry yourself better, wear your bikini better and look fabulous wherever you are.
