Fashion dilemma of the week
How can I make a bathing suit a part of my outfit?
And which bathing suit is best for my figure?
Now that the sun has come out to play, we’re all looking forward to sun infused weekend sand holidays that are bound to come. From days at the beach with sand between our toes to drinking your favorite cocktail at a terrace in the sun: these are the days you don’t want to worry about what you need to wear. Okay, okay, not worry might not be entirely true… Sometimes you won’t be wearing too many items of clothing because you still want to be able to work on your tan. But the odds are, after having spent the day in the sun, you’ll go from beach bar to restaurant or perhaps even a night out. Well, here are a couple of bathing suits that are going to help you pull off the beachwear to nightwear look.
On the runways in Miami we spotted three big trends for the season: low cutouts, all over prints and bare hips. Regardless of keeping trends in mind, we have to make sure it suits are body type too.
Look 1
Do you have the shape of an hourglass? Then an asymmetrical fit is what’s best for you. It’ll accentuate the exact assets you want to accentuate, most importantly, your shoulders.

Look 2
Broad shoulders, hips and a teeny tiny belly? This is what we like to refer to as the reverse triangle. It’s important that you give more of a shape to your body, especially around your waist area. Do this by working with a spanx-like bathing suit or a waist belt.
