Choosing the right swimsuit model is a serious task. Bikinis, monokinis and all other variations of swimwear can emphasize both the advantages of the figure and its flaws. Maria Trofimova, stylist and fashion expert, talks about what mistakes to avoid to look stunning on the beach.
Mistake 1. Broad shoulders
Women with broad shoulders often try to compensate for this characteristic by wearing tiny bikinis with thin straps on the beach. This is a bad move! The wider the straps, the better. Also, accent bodices with frills and additional volume, with an American armhole and bandeau models that “draw” a strong horizontal line in the chest area will not work.
What to do? Take a closer look at halter neck swimwear and asymmetric one-shoulder bodices.

Owners of such a figure often cover the problem area with shorts, frills and skirts, which gives the opposite effect.
What to do? Choose a trendy bikini model with panties at waist level. This technique allows you to adjust the line of the hips and visually lengthen the legs. High-waisted 60s-style trousers made from thick dark fabric will do the job perfectly.
Mistake 3. Narrow hips, flat buttocks
Girls with narrow hips should ditch the bikini in favor of shorts and accent bottoms with a low rise and wide straps.
What to do? Various ruffles, drapes and lacing, as well as tango models, will help you give your hips extra volume and your buttocks will be visually rounder.
Girls who do not have a pronounced waist instinctively try to “draw” it with various belts and products cut off at the waist, which only emphasize the flaw.
What to do? Pay attention to the trendy two-piece swimsuits of this season, where the upper and lower parts are equally emphasized – metallic models, variants with frills and draperies, one-piece swimsuits with slits on the sides, monokinis with high panty openings.
In this case, you definitely cannot rely on chance and buy a swimsuit without taking into account the proportions of the figure, because some of them may look very unfortunate and shorten your legs even more.
What to do? The solution is quite obvious! If you want “legs from the ears”, then all kinds of “bottoms” with a high cut and high armholes will be the right choice.
A modest breast size is not a reason to despair and let the situation run its course, because there are many ways to add the desired volume.
What to do? A small bust will look delicious in bodices decorated with draperies and lacing, in swimsuits with a push-up effect. Bikinis are also great, especially if you use the trendy hack and turn the cups to the side.
With female forms in this regard, things are more complicated. Girls with large breasts should avoid small triangles and thin bikini straps, as well as bandeau tops.
What to do? Take a closer look at the classic models with a thick cup and bones, with good fixation and adjustment options. Models with a V-neckline, a halter and an angel will help to present large breasts in the most favorable light.
Curvy women often mistakenly believe that if they buy a swimsuit one size smaller, they will get a tightening effect. However, this will only harm the figure: the fabric will pull the body ugly and create additional relief.
What to do? Swimwear must be selected according to size. You will have to give up thin sweaters, laces and other elements that cut into the skin. Pay attention to the density of the material and the cut. The tight high panties will hide the protruding belly and the high armhole of the lower part, and the side cutouts of the one-piece swimsuit will make the proportions more harmonious.
Don’t forget that a well-chosen swimsuit will emphasize all your assets and make you the queen of the beach – so it’s worth doing a few extra things to find the “same” holiday outfit that won’t disappoint you!
