Take a look at our Perfect Fit Guide below or contact our personal shopper for some tailor made advice.

Enhance your bust

Padded bikinis/swimwear will help create a cleavage, whilst triangle tops with details such as ruffles, frills and prints will draw the eye upwards. String halter necks and v-neck shaped bandeaus will pull the bust together, enhancing your shape even more. Go for a wide bandeau style top with padding, great for balancing out a bigger behind.
You can’t go wrong with this year’s safari print or keep it simple in a timeless black.

Support your bust

For a bust bigger than a D cup, underwire or power mesh provide the best support. Halter neck tops with thick straps offer fuller coverage, try one which ties at the nape of the neck allowing you to adjust for the perfect fit. Alternatively, a bikini top with side-boning not only supports but creates great cleavage.
For a smaller bust that needs support, padding will add definition....

Flatten tummy

Go for double lined one-pieces that pull you in and provide tummy support, eg. Karla Corletto, or choose ruching details over the tummy area to loosely disguise. Stylish tankinis are an easy and flattering option....For those with small mummy tummys, one of our roll-down bikini tops will help hide that problem area.

Elongate legs

Wear higher cut bottoms to create the illusion of length whilst drawing the eye upwards. String style bikinis with tie sides are great for showing more skin and making your legs look longer,

Flatter a fuller figure

.Go for a 50’s style ruched bikini or a one piece with a sweetheart neckline, enhancing your bust. Try these with slightly higher cut bottoms to accentuate the waist. Metallic swimwear will show every lump and bump – so avoid! An hour glass figure looks great in retro cuts, halter neck straps and ruching.

Slim hips and bottom

Often a smaller, well cut bottom will be more flattering than a large one, as it won’t draw as much attention to the area. A bikini bottom that’s a bit on the tight side will dig in and not flatter, adjustable sides will ensure this doesn’t happen. If you’re concerned, go for different sized separates.
