“I love the ‘Ruffle Backflip’ by SummerSalt for a petite frame,” says stylist Risa Kostis. “This silhouette caters specifically to a shorter torso using a deep-V to give the illusion of a longer middle, while also giving great coverage and support.”

Frequently Asked Questions

• How should you wash a swimsuit?

  “Swimsuits should be washed by hand in almost all cases, and always immediately rinsed before washing if you were just in chlorine,” says Kostis. “Make sure you always read the care instructions on the tag to keep that perfect suit looking fabulous. There’s nothing worse than finding the ideal suit and having it be ruined in the wash. When in doubt, hand wash in gentle detergent and lay flat to dry,” adds Busbee.

  As far as drying it—don’t! “Lay flat or hang to dry and never put in the dryer,” Kostis says.

• What types of swimsuits work best with your body shape?

  Pear/Triangle: “For this shape I love something that is higher cut on the sides, full coverage in the back, and that has either a halter neck or thicker straps—giving an overall more balanced look and drawing attention upward,” says Kostis.

  “If you are an inverted triangle with wider shoulders, a halter neck swimsuit is a no-brainer for softening the look of the shoulders. Asymmetrical necklines can also help, so look for swimsuits with one shoulder. Another option is capped sleeves,” adds Busbee.

  Apple: “Choose a suit that has an interesting neckline, like a sweetheart or V, to shape and accentuate the chest area,” Kostis says. “Suits that are ruched through the center or even have an illusion detail on the sides is also a great way to go.”

  Hourglass: Kostis recommends “A thin strap cutout or a belted tank-style one-piece is a great style for this body shape.”

  Rectangle: “Choose a sporty, boy short style one-piece or something lower cut with a shoulder ruffle detail to give your shoulders and hips a more full appearance,” says Kostis.Look for embellishments to add definition at strategic points, too: “Cutouts, belts, or any strategic design details around the waist will also create more of a waistline,” adds Busbee.

  Petites: “You can create the look of length with ruffles around the shoulders,” says Busbee. “Ruffles also create volume at the shoulders and in contrast, the look of a tinier waist. Lower rise bottoms will also help create more space.” Keep in mind your bottom half too: “High cut bottoms, also known as French cut bottoms are exactly what they sound like,” she adds. “They are cut higher on the legs, which makes your legs look longer.”
