From skimpy bikinis to cover-ups, body confidence on the beach is all about finding the costume style that doubles up as a silhouette miracle worker and makes you feel like Ursula Andress emerging from the sea - bikini, tankini or all-in-one costume convert, this season there's a swimsuit for every body shape that will set temperatures rising.Here are a few figure-flattering tips to look sizzling hot on holiday this summer.
YOU ARE VOLUPTUOUS
If, like Nigella Lawson, your figure is womanly, you want a swimsuit fabric that isn't flimsy, but has the control and support to help pull in your tummy and rear. Wraps, side-shirring, or draping can help you look sleek and trim without losing sight of your curviness.
YOU HAVE A BOYISH FRAME
Superfit Cameron Diaz looks great but a sporty figure can lack curves. Go for gel-filled or underwired, padded tops. Bikini tops with ruffles and prints and a halter neck will give an illusion of a fuller bust. Boy shorts and tie-side bikini bottoms show off a slim waist and toned tummy.
YOU HAVE A BIG BUST
Kelly Brook's blessed with an ample bust, but finding bikinis to fit top and bottom half perfectly can be hard. Many stores sell bras and briefs separately so you can buy in different sizes. Find larger cup sizes at Marisota. Choose an underwired top with wide straps.
YOU HAVE A MUMMY TUMMY
If you've recently had a baby, like Holly Willoughby, and still have a bit of wobble, opt for a one-piece or tankini that covers your tum. Many swimsuits are made from control fabrics that flatten and shape, giving you a smooth silhouette.
LONG TORSO
A long-waisted figure, like Demi Moore, is one of the hardest to fit. The solution: suits cut with extra length in the torso so you don't have to constantly tug the bottom down. You no longer have to guess which ones have elongated measurements: Just look for hangtags marked LONG
