It’s official: Swimsuit weather is here, and you’ll want to be as comfortable as possible in yours for the next few months. From weekends at the beach to happy hour by the pool, the only problem here is finding a suit that does your body justice. After all, strutting your stuff takes some getting used to for most of us, so feeling just OK in your suit isn’t good enough!

Apple | Your waistline is the largest part of your body. Create elongating shapes using a deep V or plunging neckline. Exaggerated halter tops can also be a good choice for your shape.

Busty | Busty girls know who they are, and the one thing that you need in a suit is support. Look for sturdy straps and an underwire if you can find it, but keep the rest of you in mind while you look. Balance out the bottom with a larger waistband to round out your look.

Not-so-busty | Luckily for you, flowing bikini tops have been trending for a while now, so an overstated top won’t be hard to find. Try ruffles or a fringe on top to create the flattering silhouette you want without being too obvious.

Curvy | Look for seams fitting at the smallest part of your waist to complement your shape and play with color-blocking to do your body proud. A sweetheart neckline is also a great way to accentuate your shoulders, bringing all of the attention up towards your face.

Pear | Let your body do most of the work and go with simpler shapes and cuts. Lines created from strapless or pinup-style tops will balance out your generous bottom while still bringing attention to your better half.

Hourglass | You can give Kim K. a run for her money this summer in pretty much any style of suit. Try to highlight your favorite body part with a cutout swimsuit or go for interesting cuts and designs to switch it up a bit. After all, you can pull anything off, so why not try something different.

Petite | A baggy suit doesn’t look good on anyone, particularly if you’re pint-sized. Combat those too-big suits with adjustable straps, especially on the sides of a bikini bottom. Plus, a properly tailored suit slung high will lengthen those legs.

Boyish | Play with creating curves on your body with ruffles or a daring one-piece. An interesting all-over print will keep attention on your whole frame, rather than just one area, and a sweetheart neckline is always your friend.

Whether you’ve got the right swimsuit for your body type all figured out or are still trying to put the pieces together, the most important thing to have with you this swimsuit season is confidence ~ it looks good on everyone.
