Carve Designs at Zappos

Little details in swim wear can make a huge difference in how it looks on certain body shapes. Here are the best styles to make sure you look sizzling this summer!

Hide a Tummy – A great suit to look slimmer through the middle is a one piece with ruching over the midsection. It helps to disguise any lumps and bumps.

Small Chest – A halter style top is the most flattering. For extra enhancing, look for one with padding added.

Short Legs – Buy a suit with a higher cut leg. Less fabric across the hips give the illusion of longer legs.

Short Waist – Find a suit with a belt, chain or some kind of embellishment that hangs low on the hips, it will lengthen the torso.

Large Bust – You need to find a suit with underwire to give extra support. You want to keep them up where they belong!

Bottom Heavy – A skirt style is a great option when looking for coverage on the bottom half. Look for a suit that is dark on the bottom and lighter or patterned on the top. This brings the eye up, away from the problem area.

Long Torso – Choose a two piece suit with a wide band below the bust and a higher rise in the bottom. It will reduce inches off a long midsection.

And lastly our absolute best tip to ensure that you look fabulous at the next poolside party – a great cover-up. There are so many pretty cover-ups out there right now and they are sheer and cool to wear. So if you are not planning on jumping in the water or when you are between dips, put one on and you’ll have maximum coverage while looking very stylish at the same time.
