You are a showstopper! Break necks on the beach this summer by strolling through the sand in the perfect swimsuit. Pair an amazing swimsuit that compliments your frame with daiquiris, a large sun hat, and glamorous sunglasses and the hotties on the beach will really be in for a summer treat. Whether you're curvaceously tempting like Pam Anderson, tall like Gwyneth Paltrow, or a short dose of gorgeousness like Eva Longoria, pear shaped like Kim Kardashian, or curvy like Kelly Clarkson, we've rounded up the best swimsuits to flaunt your most attractive assets.
Petite
You might be short, but if you follow Carrie Underwood's example, you will be a firecracker this summer. Be bold in a bikini, especially string, since it can be adjusted if you are a little overweight. Pair bold pattern tops with a neutral bottom to elongate your legs and you will be beach ready!
1. Striped Ruffled Bikini ($10.80 bikini top, $9.80 bottom, forever21.com). With the ruffles and higher-rise bikini bottom, this might be a petite girl's best friend.
2. Beach Sexy gold coral bandeau bikini ($18, top, $18 bottom, victoriassecret.com). A bold patterned top with a similar bottom is beach paradise.

Curvy
Swimsuit season might not be a favorite of the curvy girl. As a curvaceous vixen, I completely understand. But, don't be afraid of the beach this summer! With these swimsuits, you will be a knockout. Tankinis are your friend. Wear bright colored swimsuits with ruffles or other obvious accessories to distract from the areas you are uncomfortable with. Find swimsuits with tummy control and you will be a bombshell like Kelly Clarkson on the sandy shores this summer.

3. Metallic one-shoulder swimsuit ($59.94,oldnavy.com). Wear this and you will be golden - literally!
Pear Shaped
Larger hips, a firm bottom, and slimmer shoulders. You are a goddess to most of the men splashing in the beach waves. Channel Kim Kardashian's fabulousness this summer and be the envy of the beach. If you want a man to focus his attention on your eyes instead of your hips, choose a swimsuit with a decorative neckline. Feeling confident? Invest in a stunning monokini. Monokinis in neutral colors draws you in at the stomach and camouflages your bottom. Swimsuit heaven is just a few clicks away.

3. Push-up bandeau top with skirted bottom ($22.90, various bottoms $16.99 - $22.99,victoriassecret.com). Wildness and sexiness all in one!
Apple Shaped
Pamela Anderson mastered swimsuits for the apple-shaped ladies. Now, it's your turn to run in slow motion down the beach. You will kill in a tankini with a built-in bra, but a one-piece will serve you well. Use accents on swimsuits to your advantage. If it has a bow on ruffles, purchase it!

Tall
Congratulations! Your shape is perfect for almost any swimsuit. Ask Gwyneth Paltrow. Whether you choose a bikini or one-piece, you will be sure to turn heads when you use your longer legs to seduce. Wear bright colors and cute accessories and the summer belongs to you!
