In the swim with our top styling tips...

-To make sure your swimsuit looks fabulous, it should fit comfortably. If it is too tight, it will reveal any bumps. If necessary, buy a size up – only you know the size on the label.

This applies to a bikini, too – a generous fit will ensure there are no bulges, around the bikini top or the bikini bottom.

-If you have wide shoulders, a halter-neck style is perfect. On the other hand, wide-set straps make narrow shadows look broader, helping to balance hips.

-Whatever you choose – swimsuit, bikini or tankini – a high-leg cut is more flattering as it elongates the thighs.

-Boy cut or “shorts” legs are fashionable, but they tend to create the illusion of shortening and widening the thighs.

- If you are generously endowed in the bust, always choose a swimsuit or bikini with proper support or you will be left looking droopy. Look for a swimsuit, bikini or tankini with underwiring and light padding, and ensure the fit is right. If the swimsuit is too short in the body, it will drag your boobs down.

Crossover styles are good for the well endowed, but ensure there isn’t too much fabric flapping around, which will add to your silhouette.

- A dark colour or a muted pattern will distract the eye from bumps. Avoid shiny fabrics if you have anything to hide!

- If you want to look longer in the body, and slimmer, avoid horizontal lines, “belts” or horizontal blocks of colour.
-There are now lots of “miracle” and “magic” one-pieces on the market. They can really pull you in and give you a flatter tum and trimmer waist. But don’t be choose anything too restrictive – you need to be able to breathe and move.
-Ensure your one-piece or two-piece adequately covers your bottom. Plenty of swimwear brands are designed with real bodies in mind. A skimpily cut swimsuit or bikini bottom will not give you a flattering rear view.
-Always check the rear view so you can see how you look from the back.
-Choose gorgeous cover-ups that make you feel glamorous and sexy. Sarongs are most flattering when tied just below the natural waistline. Ensure the knot is just off centre; if it is on your hip, it will widen your silhouette.
-If you buy your swimsuit online, you can try as many as you like in the comfort of your own home – and you may save money, too.
