Swimsuits that Highlight Your Chest
In order to highlight what you already have or add visual interest to that area, Jennifer Hinton, founder of swimwear brand Carve Designs, recommends opting for an underwire top. The underwire will offer support, lifting the chest, as well as creating curves.
Cassandra Kuzneski, founder of Cassea Swim, says that ruffles or other embellishments along the cups can also create the illusion of a bigger chest.

Swimsuits that Elongate Your Legs
Bottoms with high-cut legs can really "elongate the leg and makes you look like your legs go on forever especially if you're shorter," says Hinton. High-leg and high-waisted bottoms can serve as a double-whammy, giving you legs for days.

Swimsuits that Offer Support
"Lining is everything," says Joey Clark, stylist and owner of Kin Boutique in Philadelphia. "A suit that is double lined will help hug those curves and keep you comfortable when you are getting in and out of the water." High-waisted or tie bottoms can cinch your waist and offer all-day support.

Swimsuits that Elongate Your Torso
Look for straight suits that don't have bands or seams that cut you off in unflattering places, and try more of a low-rise bottom. You could also opt for a one-piece suit, without too many cutouts to also lengthen the appearance of the torso.

Cheeky Swimsuits to Showcase Your Curves
When opting to flaunt what you've got in some cheeky bottoms, make sure you pay attention to the material of the swimsuit; it can make all the difference. Tracey Munn from Fused Hawaii suggests looking for a spandex and nylon blend. First time wearing a cheeky or thong suit? Munn says you can never go wrong with a solid black color.
