For a Large Bust

To properly support large breasts, choose a suit with underwire support or one with wide, firm straps. This Robin Piccone halter has sexy keyhole detailing and still provides full coverage.


To Trim a Tummy

This flattering tankinis easy fit and shirred sides make it a perfect choice if you want to camouflage a bit of a belly.


For Derriere Coverage

If you want more coverage than a traditional suit but dont want to wrap a shirt around your waist, go for one of the latest adorable skirted swimsuits. This maillot from La Blanca features a modest skirt along with a slimming ruched waist.


To Flatter a Small Bust

To make the most of small assets, choose a top with ruffles or other detailing on top to add volume and shape.


For Swimmers and Surfers

When youre riding waves or doing laps, you want a suit that will be secure and comfortable. This two-piece gives you a full range of motion without looking like workout wear. Avoid ruffles, flimsy straps, and suits that fasten, which are more likely to come undone.


For Pear Shapes

If youre bottom-heavy, resist the urge to add extra coverage there. Choose high-cut bottoms to lengthen legs, and interesting details on top to pull the focus there. Avoid boy shorts or two-tone suits with lighter bottoms.


For a Cleavage Boost

The Envy Push Up halter bikini from Voda Swim features a special design and a low absorbency material that adds up to two cup sizes without obvious padding.


To Create Curves

To make a thin, boyish figure look more curvaceous, pick a suit with detailing like ruffles or ties to add volume to hips and bust.


To Define a Thick Waist

If youre plus-sized or want to create extra definition around your midsection, look for a suit with ruching or draping in the middle. This one-pieces deep V-neck and halter top also create a nipped-in look. 224156
