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!

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.

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.
