ody is smaller in comparison to their upper body. A good suitwill bring attention to anything other than the belly. Aim fora one-piece that is low cut to keep the eyes up top. Say no tostyles that accentuate the tummy.SMALL BUTTSIf your tush is small, thank your lucky stars. But, if youwant to lift your rear or make it more prominent (thank you,Sir Mix-A-Lot), then opt for a suit with a ruffle or layers ofruffles on the bottom. Go for larger prints on the bottom or evenstripes to make the bottom appear rockin’.HOURGLASSHourglass figures are shaped—well, like an hourglass. Ifyou are curvy on the top and curvy on the bottom, with a smallwaist then you can wear just about any type of suit. A bikini isa great choice to highlight your natural shape. If you have alarger bust, try a V-neckline to take attention from your “girls”and toward your collarbone or neck. If you are smaller up top,a higher neckline will emphasize your shoulders and keep theeye away from the chest.Just like our bodies, swimsuits come in all shapes, sizesand colors. Smart companies make bikinis, tankinis, skirtinisand more. With all the teeny choices, a martini might be yourfirst order of business. But, if you know your body type and howto highlight your best features, you can choose a suit that suitsyou best all summer long.For more information, please visit www.moreswimsuits.com or www.glamour.comHERLIFEmagazine.com 13
