Style Guide: Bikini Beauty Tips

So, now that you’ve gone to Bal Harbour Plastic Surgery and have the body you’ve always dreamt of, how do you choose a new bikini to show off your beautiful, beach-ready body?  Here are a few tips to help you find the perfect bikini for you:

1.    Before you hit the department store circuit, schedule a spray tan for yourself.  Spray tanning is quickly becoming one of the hottest trends on the beach because its easy, effective, and very slimming.  There is nothing like a bronzed appearance to shave at least five pounds off your look.
2.    Once you get into the store, choose a variety of bikinis in different styles and cuts to try on.  You do not want to get trapped into thinking only one style will work for your particular body shape.  If you have a variety of different swimsuits on hand, you can quickly and easily see how different styles make you look.
3.    When trying a swimsuit on, remember to consider your particular requirements for the swimsuit.  If you plan on moving around or playing beach sports, you will want to stay away from swimsuits with a lot of excess fabric.  If you are wearing a bikini, make sure the straps offer adequate support and the front of the bottom sits a little lower than the back.
4.    As you analyze your look in a particular bikini, be sure to use a three-way mirror.  This will allow you to see how the suit fits you from every angle.  Also, be sure to check out your appearance while squatting or sitting.  You will quickly become alert to a too-skimpy bottom or uncomfortable style.
5.    When choosing a print or fabric color, remember that nearly everyone looks good in smaller prints and darker colors.  If you love the look of big prints, try to find a print in a dark color for slimming effects.  Don’t be afraid to pair a print top with a solid bottom, or vice versa.  And, if you are mixing colors, be sure to wear the darker color on the part of your body you’d like to minimize.
6.    If you are choosing a string bikini, make sure to tie it properly.  The tie at the bottom should rest on your hipbone, with the remaining string stretching across your hip at a length of no more than seven inches.  To tie the top, make a bow at the back first and then stretch the fabric cups over your breasts to tie the neck.  You should allow for no more than two to three inches of string between your breasts.
7.    At the store, don’t let yourself be talked into a trendy style or color you are not comfortable with.  If you do get pressured into a purchase, you will likely never wear the swimsuit again, or you will be constantly tugging at ties and straps.  If you have an old swimsuit you love, feel free to bring it into the store and ask for assistance finding a similar style.
