If you are planning on getting a little flirty this summer, while portraying an innocent sex appeal,the skirted bikini is just what you'll need. The skirted bikini is conservative enough in appearance, but it teases by what is both visible and hidden. It is the ideal outfit for a real beach babe.

This style of bikini is highly flattering to the feminine form both in and out of the water. It allows you to walk around feeling confident and not completely indecent.

The skirted bikini should not be confused with the skirtini which has more of a tankini feel to it. The skirted bikini is a bikini with a skirted bottom, and will still leave a whole of your midriff exposed. However should you be uncomfortable with that, give the skirtini a try. They are just as flirty, even though they are more suitable for young girls, and are not as sexy as the bona fide skirted bikini.

When purchasing one of these, remember more is not always better. Do not think that a longer length will look better or that the same as shorter may not be as flirty. Consider your build and how your body is proportioned before buying one of these. A bad selection could turn your flirty to floppy.

So to keep the spice in spicy and the flit in flirty, it is best to follow some of our pointers for selecting the best skirt for your body:

• Mid to high thigh length skirts are for longer ladies.

• For stronger but shapely thighs, play them up with a ruffled look.

• For larger derrières, a smooth or straighter look with a detailed top works well.

• Small derrières can be played up with a short ruffled skirt, especially if you are larger on the top.

• A high thigh length skirt or a slanting skirt is best for shorter girls, and if combined with little ruffles it will give an illusion that you are taller. The skirt however should never be longer than mid thigh.

How to choose the right colors:

These little bikinis come in a variety of colors. However, it is important to remember to use the colors correctly. To avoid the possibility of your thighs being mistaken for the next best advertizing space, use the correct colors. We took a look at some simple rules:

• If your slightly fuller in the body, stay away from bright and neon colors.

• If you have large thighs avoid white.

• Darker toned ladies look super hot in a white skirt.

• Go for softer pinks and yellows if lighter in complexion.

• Wear black only if you plan to draw attention to your mid section, these skirts in black tend to have the same eye drawing abilities as boy style shorts.

So if you're a little sensitive about exposing your body this summer because of your flaws on your hips or thighs, fear no more. The skirted bikini is ideal for covering up those little flaws. And you can at last look sexy and carefree this summer while enjoying the sun with your BFF.
