fashion & beauty Shape Up For Summer by Becca Charlo, with Sheila from Sugar and Spice
Whether you’re curvy and full-figured or stick-thin and boyish, top-heavy, bottom-heavy, or somewhere in between, our tricks of the trade will have you looking like a water babe this summer.
INVERTED TRIANGLE For ladies with a bigger bust
• Definitely go for the integrated bra top, making sure the bust is well supported, giving you shape and confidence around the pool
• Fit is important - make sure the cups fit properly, avoiding the four boob effect, therefore go for a balconett not plunge style top
• Halter neck styles are good, as long as straps are wide enough to support the bust weight comfortably
• A solid block colour on the top diverts attention, but patterns are fine if it fits well
• String bikini bottoms can be flattering, but keep strings below the waistline
DON’T DON’T
• Go for ruffles, frills, stringy styles or big patterns on your top

TRIANGLE For narrow shouldered figures
• A two piece bikini is likely to work better for you than a one piece swimsuit
• Look for bikini tops that are padded or enhance cleavage to balance out your shape
• Lighter patterned tops with darker or block coloured bottoms will shift attention from your bottom
• Tops with wide set straps will help disguise narrow shoulders
• Draw side bottoms will enable you to modify the shape and size of the garment to suit your shape
RECTANGLE The straight up and down body
• For upper portion, choose halter tops in lighter shades or with fun ruffles.
• To curve your waist, contrast the top piece with the bottom.
• Look for prints, ruffles and other cute details that add curves.
• If choosing a one piece, look for lots of pattern or detail around the waist area
DON’T
• Choose a one piece swimsuit in a block colour
