Be Your Stylist

HOT HOT HOT!

You don’t need to have a perfect body to wear a fashionable bikini and look “hot”. Summer is definitely the season to enjoy the beach, have fun and show your natural beauty. So why not choose the most suitable bikini in order to live the summer? You only have to find out which shape makes you look the “hottest”…

PEAR SHAPE: Try pairing an eye-catching bikini or tankini top with subdued bottoms in a dark color. This type of swimsuit will draw attention toward your top.

RECTANGULAR SHAPE: Give a square figure the appearance of a waist with a one-piece or tankini (a bikini with a top shaped like a tank top) that has a darker color from the crotch to the middle ribs and a lighter color on the chest.

LITTLE BREAST: Choose bright colors. They will look your breasts look bigger. Forget about dark colors and go for patterned or painted fabrics. Try flowers, stripes and big dots. To add curves and subtle cleavage to a small bust, look for a bikini top with triangle-shaped cups and a tie-front.

BIG BREASTS: For the generous bust, underwire is desirable. Choose one that hooks up -- rather than ties -- at the back to "bring you in and up a bit". Look for a straight across cut at the top of your swimsuit with wide set straps to minimize your bust.

BIG BOTTOM: Wear hotpants. They are absolutely on fashion right now! If you have wide hips, choose styles that cut across the hips rather than hanging below them. Also, try pairing dark red, blue, or black bikini bottoms with a light-colored bikini top. The light color will draw attention and eyes toward your bust and away from your hips.

SMALL BOTTOM: Wear white or small black dots over white. Details on a bikini, such as bows, belts, ruching, embroidery, beading, and ties will make your bottom look more voluptuous.

PLUS SIZE: In general, you will want to look for swimsuits in darker colors . However, a black swimsuit/bikini is not your only choice. Deep reds and blues will have the same effect and are more vivid for the summer. To accentuate curves, look for a fitted swimsuit with a defined waist and a high percentage of Lycra/spandex. A high-cut leg will also slim your legs and hips.

Don’t forget to accessorize your bikini with a nice hat, huge sun glasses and a pair of fun flip flops. Now you are ready to enjoy the beach and look sexy!
