It may not seem like it yet… but we are supposed to be expecting some sort of ‘heat wave’ and if it ever comes, we should be at the ready with our new bikinis. So I am going to lay this out quite plainly- bikini’s are hard to wear, and yes they do all look different on different body shapes so you have to make sure you are looking for a particular type of bikini for your particular body shape. Here are some ideas for you…

For the blessed slim, petite girls- little bust, smallish hips, and all-in-all slim physique.

Do: Be aware that you can pretty much pull off any type of bikini, but some will be more flattering than others. Look for ruffles, little details, that make your bikini give you a bit of extra shape.

Do NOT: Go for a plain, monochrome bikini. You can do so much better than that! And also do not wear a bikini that will make you look too young (I’m talking baby pink with hearts on it…).

Reasons for a slim petite girl to buy this:

1. The ruffle details will make you look a bit more curvy and make you feel feminine.
2. As well as enhancing your already amazing shape, the colour are flattering and summery.
3. £26 for a bikini is totally reasonable for a bikini as pretty as this!

For Busty, Curvy Girls- C Boobs +, hips, and a bit of a bottom!

Do: Go for something that will keep everything in place. A padded top half bikini is necessary!

Do NOT: Wear a strapless top- they do not give enough support.
