Holiday Style Edit: Beach wear for your body!

It's that time of year again! The swim suits and bikinis have hit shops and with a sinking heart we realize its almost swim wear time, and although it's snowing outside we are all fervently running to the gym to at least make it look like we tried to get in shape for our coming up holidays. So as we don't cause any strokes when we subject the world to ourselves in swimwear! Thing is though, that's just a feeling, and we are all probably looking better than we suspect, the best trick to heading on holiday and looking good is knowing how to dress your shape and above all to feel confidant in what you're wearing.

So we will break it down to a few different body shapes and what's the best shape for them!

If you're one of those lucky woman who are super slim, tall and little junk in the trunk, it is probably best to stick with something which implies curves.Try to pick something with straps to balance out narrow shoulders, do however utilize lovely slim legs and trim tum with low rise briefs with a frill detail again to add a bit more volume around less curvy areas! River Island and asos are stocking some great bikinis to just do the trick! Try to avoid full suits as the flatten the chest and bum! If you however don't feel comfortable in a bikini and would like a full suit pick something that draws the eye away from problem areas to your better areas picking something with a pattern or cut out is a good way to do this.

If you are a little curvier it's probably best to go with a one piece swimsuit, this however does not mean you need to totally cover yourself up. At the moment there are an array of cut out swim suits which look UNREAL on the woman who can fill them! Don't think just because you are a more voluptuous woman you need to stray away from nice swimwear! This is the worst thing you can do, work those curves, where that low cut bikini, man I would if I could! The big thing about cut outs is where they are, if you want to minimize curves and imply a waist grab ones with a side cut out, if not get a v neck cut swim suit and emphasis your cleavage, do think straps though! You don't want a flasher accident, if you need support give it to yourself.  There is such a wide variety of cut out swimsuits out there that most very very slim woman can't pull off.

If you are petite and curvy stick with a little higher waisted bikinis , be it mid waist or high waist this will give the illusion of longer legs! If you're a little chestier do stick to thick straps and halter necks these will balance out your body, and give you much needed support.

If you are a little on the less curvier side and still quite petite its best to stick to a string bikini, these don't allow you to be cut off in the wrong place and don't emphasis a particularly small waist, they also elongate legs and well are pretty flattering!

The biggest thing to keep in mind when you are stepping out in semi nude wear is that your best accessory is your confidence! 

Bring on summer!
