Going on holiday this year? I am hoping to be and I CANNOT WAIT to get shopping for some new things for holiday! But, not all of us have bodies to die for and most of us all have a hang up of some sort about our body. But rather than be depressed about it, or swear to yourself that going to the gym two months beforehand is going to fix them, why not embrace them? Make the most of what you've got! Not sure how to do it? Here are a few tips I've read on the internet or magazines that might help you when choosing a bikini/tankini/swimsuit:


Girls with big boobs - If you have a big bust, underwire provides support but can look a bit ugly and the general look of under wired bras is not always flattering. So, try halter neck bikinis that provide support but also look gorgeous. In addition, buy swimsuits with high cut necklines, or ones with ruffles and patterns elsewhere which draw attention away from your breasts.


Girls with small boobs - You can buy lots of swimsuits and bikinis now with adjustable padding to add if you feel you need to increase the size of your breasts. You could also look for bikinis where you can adjust the pull between the cups, which can help to create more cleavage.


Girls with a boyish figure - It might be best looking for swimsuits that have high cut legs, ones that have ruffles to add detail, and also tie up bikinis which add extra detail to your sides. You could also go for a low cut neckline to show off your boobs to create a more feminine look.


Girls who are curvaceous - Girls who are curvaceous should draw attention to their best bits and if this means you have great boobs - go for halter neck bikinis to attract the eye there. If you are pear shaped but hate your bum, go for darker coloured bottoms to draw less attention here and upwards instead. We all know that black is a slimmer! Wherever it is you feel uncomfortable about, avoid frills or ruffle bits around these areas to make you feel happier and draw the eye away from there.


Girls who are short - low cut bikinis are great as they lengthen the torso and a halter neck style top helps draw attention to your boobs. These both look good, and draw attention away from the bits you may not like so much.


Girls with big thighs - high leg cuts are great for making your legs look longer but without revealing too much flesh. You could also go for detail which is centred around your boobs and top half which draws attention away from your legs if this is what you're worried about. Remember that darker colours are slimming, so lighter colours up top and darker colours blow are great for this.


Girls who are pear shaped - Tankinis are great for pear shaped women - they cover your stomach if you would rather hide it and also cover the top half of your legs and balances your figure out. You could also go for halter neck or plunging bikinis or swimsuits as these draw attention from your wide hips and thighs. Boxer style shorts are to be avoided as these accentuate your hips.


Do remember though, everyone is beautiful regardless of shape.


Why not take a look at some of the cutest and unusual swimsuits and bikinis I've come across so far whilst browsing? If you are anything like me, I am struggling to make a decision on the many many bikinis that are out there and so maybe this will help you out a little!
