Swimwear is designed to fit more neatly than normal clothes, so try going up a size for a more comfortable fit. It looks much better.

When looking at patterns, bear in mind that the bigger the print, the bigger you look. Instead, try small and detailed designs.

A frilled skirt or edges on bikini bottoms can create a sought-after hourglass silhouette.

A higher leg cut makes your legs look longer, but make sure your top half isn’t too low as well.

If you are well endowed, make sure your swimwear has underwire and a proper cup, to give suitable support.

Make sure to check how the swimwear fits from the back as well as the front – that’s the view you will give the beach as you walk into the sea!
