Mix and Match your bikini

Fashion keeps becoming more creative, enabling you to choose your own unique styles. The 'classic' bikini is made up of a top and bottoms . This is usually a triangle or an underwire top. Push-ups, bandeaus and neckholder tops in all shapes and sizes by brands like O’Neill and Rip Curl are trendy alternatives. Many brands now sell bikini tops and bottoms separately for you to combine any way you like. Mix & Match is the name of the game here. The general rule is: the more material, the more hold the bikini offers. Tops without straps are less suitable for surfing or other water sports. Active girls should opt for bustiers or tankinis.

Bikinis - Hot Tops And Cheeky Bottoms

There are also many different kinds of bikini bottoms to choose from. You can choose to wear more or less material on your hips, according to your personal taste. Bikini bottoms usually have quite a high cut leg. The panty and hipster versions show off less skin than other bikini bottoms, so you can hide away those extra pounds. If you want to show off what you've got, then choose some bottoms that have a lower cut, side ties or a Brazilian fit. Brazilian bottoms show off a bit more, but they also give you less tan lines and more looks from the guys. Of course you can also combine your bikini with some cool Boardshorts .

Similar to a bathing suit, the mono suit covers you up slightly more than a bikini but is still super stylish. If you think that swimsuits are old fashioned, let yourself be persuaded otherwise by Roxy and Billabong with their stylish new designs. The most important thing however is that you feel comfortable and your choice of swimwear is fit for its purpose. Let your new bikini take you to hidden beaches with the best breaks, relax after an intense round of beach volleyball and soak up the sun.
