1. Phone a Friend
They saved me from acid wash jeans and midriff-baring tube tops. With that said, I know I can trust my girls to give me some helpful swimsuit tips…or a reality check. Just be prepared to bid adieu to that barely there bikini.
2. Feel Good, Look Good
If you just devoured a pint of ice cream and feel totally bloated/insecure/slightly ill, now’s probably not the time to try on bikinis. But it’s the perfect time to splurge on summer shoes (read: instant pick-me-ups).
3. Take Care of Things down under
As in, wear a thong, even if you usually stick to briefs. Because chances are, you’ll be asked to don undies when trying on swimsuits…and no one wants to see your panties in a bunch.
4. Go for the Fabric Gold
A nylon/spandex blend is swimsuit royalty. Nylon is super slimming, dries in a flash, and holds its shape after continued wear. A bit of spandex will provide extra hold. I feel like a sea queen already!
Discover the mystique and charm of historical garments with our carefully curated inspiration from the medieval era. If you're seeking authenticity for a theme party or costume event, here are some truly renaissance outfit ideas that will transport you back in time. Evoke the spirit of grand festivities with fashion that celebrates tradition and craftsmanship. Embrace a different period, dress up and have fun!
5. Embellishments Matter
As someone who wants a little oomph on top, I always head straight for the sequins, buttons, and prints. These will add to your chest in a cinch. Or if you happen to be a busty gal, go for a darker halter top, minus the trappings. It’ll hold you in without adding extra baggage. The same rules apply for bottoms: accents and side ties will help you fake curves while plain-Jane ones will work wonders at hiding problem areas.

6. Lengthen Your Legs
If you’re like most of us, you can afford to stand taller. So, ditch the boy shorts in favor of high-cut bottoms. Now that’s a swimsuit tip we can raise our legs to!
7. If You’ve Got It, Flaunt It!
Calling all curvy girls: don’t hide in a suit that looks like one of your grandmother’s castaways. Instead, choose to highlight one of your major assets with a plunging neckline or high-cut leg on a ruched one piece. Ruching will camouflage belly fat, making you look even more fabulous!
With these tips, you’ll find the right swimsuit for your body in no time. Which of these tips will you try this season? Or do you have another trick to finding the perfect suit? Let us know…after all, we’re swimming together on this one!
