Bikinis and swimwear are the perfect way to get ready for the summer season, after all what screams summer better than a good bikini!
To make sure you’re feeling confident and looking great on the beach this summer make sure that you arm yourself with a suit that perfectly matches your body.
We’ve hunted down the best suits by body shape to ensure that no matter what your body concern, there is a suit out there for you – so you can feel confident and look great this summer!
Once you have armed yourself with the perfect swimsuit then make sure you have the right accessories! You’ll need a great beach bag to tuck away your towel when strolling down the beach, or a great caftan for covering your legs when out of the water. And don't forget the ultimate accessory, gorgeous silky smooth legs. We love the Braun Silk-épil Xpressive which looks fantastic, and will make sure that you look fantastic too! It'll keep your legs hair free for up to four weeks; it’s the essential beauty tool this summer! A shade of dark A sexy suit in a dark shade is not only a good staple for any swimwear wardrobe; it’s also a figure flattering choice when it comes to swimwear. If you’re pale and feel that black washes you out, go for a suit with black detailing, black piping on a block colour or a black on colour print are both great options. 2: Perfect for a pear shape: 2 Chillies AU$47.50 from Zodee 3: Perfect for an athetic body: Anna and Boy Swimwear $225.00 from MyCatwalk 4: Perfect for a curvy girl: Marilyn Halter Neck Swimsuit $155.00 from Ginger Lover 5: Celeb Follower: Kate Hudson Light and bright in shades of white White swimwear has a fresh, clean feel for spring summer 08/09.

For spring/summer there will be more and more safari themed prints arriving. Those with smaller busts should reach for the industrial looking buckled and eyelet bust styled swimsuits, which will arrive in high summer.
