Voluptuous gals with enviable figures like Sofia Vergara look great in sizzling one-pieces! But if you're trying to downplay your curves, the brand director of Australian swimwear company Seafolly, Andie Halas, suggests reaching for ruched styles. "Ruched detail is flattering and camouflages the tummy area," she explains. Plus, ruched panels, like the ones on this vibrant J. Crew suit, help shape the waist and hide a tummy!
"For full-figured girls, I love full pieces that accentuate your waistline," explains Tori Praver, who models and designs suits for her eponymous swimwear line. "For example the Marilyn from my collection hugs you in all of the right places."
To minimize attention to your bottom half, slip into an eye-catching bikini top, like this Mouille one with an asymetrical strap similar to Jennifer Lopez's sexy suit, and pair it with basic black bottoms. "Ruching details and twist-front necklines flatter the figure," says Halas, so heed her advice and go for tricked out tops if hiding hips is a priority!
Draw attention to, ahem, other assets with a plunging neckline. "Bust detail such as frills and V-necklines will take attention away from the hip area," Halas tells us. With its low-cut, ruffled style, this W Swimwear one-piece fits the bill perfectly.
If you have a naturally athletic shape and want to add a little volume to your upper half, a fab fringed top helps create the illusion of a bigger bust. And if you aren't a fan of the boho chic style? "For a smaller chest, I love a triangle top or a bandeau," offers Praver.
To add a few curves, Tori Praver's ruffled bikini bottoms help add a little sex appeal to a sleek physique, while a girly glam ruffled string bikini top boosts the bust.
"For girls with large breasts, I think halter tops or tops with underwire work best," Praver reveals. Do as Victoria's Secret Angel Alessandra Ambrosio does and chose a stylish striped halter top that will provide plenty of support.
This Zimmermann two-piece is pretty yet practical for top-heavy bathing beauties, thanks to sturdy underwire and a charming tropical print.
