4 on-trend swimsuits to show off your best assets
1. Bandeau Love your shoulders? Show them off in a bandeau-style top. It brings all the focus to your top half and the simple shape means you can experiment with bright colours, prints, textures and unexpected details such as zippers
2. Bikini If your bust is on the smaller side, a halter style top will give you a little extra oomph without the need for an underwire. If you’re on the athletic side, side ties and tassels offer a touch of feminine flair.
3. Retro This swimsuit style lets you still rock a two-piece, but with a little extra coverage. Thanks to a high-waisted bottom, this style conceals the stomach while accentuating your waistline.
4. One-Piece Look for ruching, cut-outs and plunging necklines when shopping for a sassy one-piece. Those fun details instantly elevate simple swimsuits and can help elongate your body, emphasize your bust and trim your tummy.
