Here are some basic bathing suit tips to finding the perfect suit for you specific body type along with examples of bathing suits you should be looking for. We included some of our favorite picks for bathing suits of summer 2010. Enjoy!
If you are petite-- With an all-over smaller frame you can wear an all-over smaller bathing suit. Tops with pleats and rouching can make your bust appear larger and strings or thinner straps on the bottom will help give the illusion of curves while flaunting your small bone structure. Also try bathing suits with bright colors and bold prints to help your smaller features look larger and stand out.

If you are vuluptious-- Wearing a dark solid color with give an all-over slimming effect. Thicker straps on top are better for support and won't dig into your skin. A low v neckline adds a vertical line whick will make you appear thinner and at the same time, show off your beautiful cleavage.

If you are apple shapped (carry your weight in the middle)-- One peice bathing suits will work best to cover your stomach. Use patterns and printed fabrics to mask extra weight in your middle and bring attention to your top and bottom with a low cut top and high cut bottom.

If you are pear shapped (larger on bottom)-- Two-peices bathing suits are usually best to show off your smaller middle and upper body. The key here is moderation. You do not want to wear a bottom with too little fabric like a string bikini which will just make you look bigger, but you also don't want to add extra weight with ruffles and too much skirting. If you opt for a skirted bottom to hide flaws, you will need pair that back with a top that is a bit heavier as in no little string bikini tops becasue you will look unbalanced. A thicker strap bottom with a push up bra top is ideal. Also, avoid printed bottoms which bring attention and mass to that area, but welcome ruffles and embelishments to the top which will help balance you out.

If you are boyish/athletic/banana shapped (straight up and down)-- Bathing suits that give you shape and curve are best. Something with feminine details and/or prints and patterns will help add to this illusion. Monokini are great options for you as many other body types can not wear them. Anything with cut outs or angles that add shape to your body will help.

What to wear this Summer
With all of this hot weather it can be hard to motivate yourself to put on anything except grungy shorts and t-shirts with flip flops. Here are some cute and easy wardrobe ideas that will keep you cool in the hot weather while maintaining a fashionable edge.
The trends right now are great for hot weather. Billowing blouses and looser fitting tops help keep us cool in the heat. Pairing these types of tops back with a tighter, more fitted pant or capri is a cool fresh look. Dresses are still the greatest choice since they are easy and cool. Accessories are still large and bulky and look best when paired back with a simple t-shirt or solid blouse. The shoes right now are high so invest in a great pair of wedges that will give you all the height without all the discomfort.
What to wear to a barbeque or other casual outdoor event: If there is any chance you will be sitting on the ground or playing with kids or animals, dresses are probably not the best idea here. Wear a nice pair of shorts, paired back with a fitted t-shirt. Add rhinestone flat sandals to add a little flair to the outfit and maybe throw on an oversized pair of earrings. Carrying a large hobo bag also gives this outfit a fashionable look.
What to wear to work on casual Fridays: The ankle pant is the hottest pant length right now and are perfect for work. Pair them back with a short sleeve chiffon blouse (wear a tank underneath if the top is too see-through) or you can opt for the tank top and long cardigan set. Both ways, you will stay comfortable inside where it is usually over air conditioned and stay cool outside. Wear a nude pump for a classy, current look.
What to wear to happy hour with friends or date night with the hubby: This is the perfect time to wear that cute dress that you splurged on! You will look stylish with little to no effort. Wear a wedged heel with the dress and a fun chunky necklace. You will be comfortable and look so fashion forward.
