Finding the correct swimwear can be the difference between enjoying your holiday or feeling like you want to hide under your towel. You need to find the right colour and fit to flatter your shape and compliment your natural skin tones.

It can always seem tempting to get white swimwear to show off your tan when you finally get one but before that point it can make you look incredibly pale and it has the additional drawback of potentially going transparent which would certainly give you cause to retreat behind your towel!

However, strong block coloured swimwear like black, red and blue will compliment both your pre tan skin and your tanned skin, so you can be confident from the start to the end of your vacation. Mix and match bikinis are a great way of creating the perfect beachwear that will leave you feeling comfortable and confident. Bikini tops range from halter neck to a conventional bra top and can provide as little or as much support and coverage as you are comfortable with.

Create Shape Enhancing Beachwear

Bikini bottoms can be the difference between flattering beachwear and one that highlights your least favourite parts. If you are somewhat pear shaped the best type of bikini bottom is a high legged cut, this style lengthens the leg drawing focus away from the thighs and bottom. A pair of bottoms with frills and details are ideal for boyish figures because they create the illusion of curves giving a more womanly shape.

A tankini is a very flattering option, in certain ways more flattering than a swimsuit because they look not so clingy and will enhance the figure and leave you feeling more confident. They give the same amount of coverage as the swimsuit so you don’t have to worry about flashing areas that you are less happy with.

So time to get your holiday booked and you can look forward to flaunting it on the beach no matter what your figure
