Shape-Shifters-> Bikini/ Swimsuits guideliness

SHOPPING for swimwear is no easy feat - everyone's body is different and everyone's idea of the perfect bikini or suit is different (are you buying for pool-side lounging only or serious splashing about in the sea?). 

 

 

One-shouldered

 

Small busts should take advantage of clever design quirks - such as the one-shoulder asymmetric style. There are plenty out there, those with thinner straps too, but this Preen number is a little more fashion-forward than most. But whatever your shape and whatever your swim agenda, these are the style rules to follow - be it to hide or show off your assets; to pack smart; or to top up that tan.

Swimsuit by Preen by Thornton and Bregazzi, £360 at Matchesfashion.com

Tie-side

 

 

 

They'll leave less of a tan line with their barely-there string fasten. Bikini bottoms by Gap, £29.95 at Gap.com

 

 

 

 

 

Structure 

 

 

Being bigger on top means you'll need more support and  structure in general when it comes to your swimwear. This wrap-style suit is ideal, working much like the famous wrap dress to pull you into shape in all the right places. Lisa Marie Fernandez, £422 at Matchesfashion.com

 

 

 

 

 

 

High-waisted

 

 

 

Show off your curves in a Fifties silhouette - high-waisted bottoms and a retro bikini top will fit the bill perfectly. A high-waist will also help to hide any insecurities you may have with your stomach if you didn't quite manage to make it to the gym as much as you had hoped pre-holiday. Bikini by Pistol Panties, £159 at Pistolpanties.co.uk

Bandeau 

 

 

Flat to small chests will find a friend in the bandeau style of bikini, which will work to enhance what you haven't already got.  Bandeau top by Prism, £106 at Matchesfashion.com

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sporty

 

 

Zip up and make a splash. Swimsuit, £84 at Seafolly.com

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Frills

 

If it's not your bust you're worrying about, it's your derriere. Bikini by The Kooples, £115 at Thekooples.co.uk

 

 

 

 

 

 

Halter

 

 

Halter styles will enhance a small bust - be that on a swimsuit or bikini. It's also a shape entirely in-keeping with fashion's current penchant for the Seventies right now, which makes it an ideal buy. Swimsuit by Topshop, £36 at Topshop.com

 

 

 

 

 

 

Triangle

 

The old faithful triangle style is suited to almost everyone - showing off both what you do and don't have. Those with larger busts should probably leave it behind though and opt for something with more support. Bikini top by Zara, £17.99 at Zara.com

 

 

 

 

  

 

Day to night 

There is only limited space in your suitcase after all and though swimsuits and bikinis are only small, it soon mounts up. So think laterally and cross-promote your occasions. So pretty is this swimming costume that you can add a variety of skirts to dress it up for the evening and no one would be any the wiser that it was in fact swim-bound. Swimsuit by Zimmermann, £195 at Selfridges.com

 

 

 

 

Hope this will help in choosing the right bikini for you.

 

Have a great day girls xxx
