Follow the guide below to make sure you choose the right bikini for your body shape.

Short neck: Choose plunging necklines but steer clear of halter necks as they will draw attention to the problem.

Narrow shoulders: Go for boob tube-style, bandeau tops that will help make your shoulders look broader.

Broad shoulders: Halter necks are the best style to draw attention away from wide shoulders.

Pot belly: Cover a big tummy with shorts-style bottoms or a swimsuit with added control.

Wide hips: Choose bikini tops with plenty of detail to draw the eye away from your bottom half.

Large bum: Choose a light-coloured bikini for a size-minimising effect.
