Flatter your figure this summer

With summer around the corner we all can’t wait to hit the beaches and show off. Wherever you decide to go the one important thing that will be on your mind this summer will be the swimsuit pieces you put on to accentuate that beach body of yours.

With all the latest trends for summer coming out it can be quiet a task to pick out what suits one and whether you have the hottest body or not it is still quiet imperative to pick out what works for you. Here are a few pointers to help you flatter your figure and still look trendy:

Fuller figure

• Accentuate your curves rather than hide them. Try halter necks or cupped styles, and anything that brings in the waist to play to an hourglass shape.

Pear shape / small bust

• Use ruffles to your advantage by adding volume at the top half to create curves. Vintage cupped styles with padding would do the trick

Top heavy

• By adding ruffles to the bottom you balance your hips with your bust. Stick to structured styles and halter necks.

Athletic figures

• If you're not big on the curves make the most of styles like statement strapping, backless styles and crochet that instead show off a toned physique.
