How to choose the best swimwear for your body.

The holiday season is here. Looking good in swimwear is a major concern for many.

There are many different swimsuits and swimwear to choose from.

These tips will help in choosing a swimwear that not only suits your body shape but also help you rock that beach look.

Love handles and back fat: Choose a bottom that is high waist but avoid very tight bottoms as this will create a bulge on the mid-section area. Opt for full swimsuit as opposed to a two piece.

Tiny bust: Ruffles, patterns and embellishments on the bust is the kind of wear to suit this body as they give an illusion of a fuller bust.

Big bust: Search for swimwear with underwire bra for support. Try to avoid embellishments and ruffles on the top part of the swimwear. Choose swimwear straps that are thicker for a flattering look.

Flat bum: Choose bottoms with ruffles and frills to give the illusion of a fuller behind. Choose not to cover the behind completely but leave room on the sides(cheeks). Bright colours, loud prints and patterns are also quite suitable.

Big bum: Choose ample coverage for the bottom because G-strings and small bottoms might be quite uncomfortable. Printed tops and plain bottoms should be the best style for this body type.

Athletic body: Choose girly designs and frills as well. This is to take attention away from the compact body and create a feminine look. Go for tops with pads and gathers. Choose bright colours that are warm and compliment the skin tone.

Cellulite and full thighs: Go for bottoms with coverage that covers the upper thighs and opt to tie a wrap around the thighs.

Tummy: Opt for a peplum swimwear to cover the tummy area.
