You Will Need

  • Flattering bottom
  • Hot top
  • String bikini
  • Wedge espadrilles or gladiator sandals
  • Accessories
  • Sunscreen

Steps

  1. Step 1

    Pick your bottom

    Pick a flattering bottom. Elongate a short torso with one that sits below your waist; lengthen short legs with a style that's higher on the hips. Prevent hip and thigh bulges with a bottom that ties at the sides. If you have a belly, skip bikinis made with Lycra; go with a loose-fitting bottom containing elastic instead.

  2. Step 2

    Choose a top

    Look hot in the right bikini top. Choose one with boning or underwire if you're big-breasted; go with ruffles or ruching if you're small-busted. As for style, the bandeau works well on small busts, while halter tops and criss-cross back straps lend support to heavier bust lines. Go for a string bikini if you have a boyish figure.

  3. There should be no more than 3 inches of string between your breasts.

  4. Step 3

    Ditch the flip-flops

    Ditch the flip-flops for sexier beach footwear, like wedge espadrilles. If you're very tall and slim, go for gladiator sandals.

  5. Get your feet sandal-ready by soaking them in equals parts warm milk and water; the lactic acid dissolves dead skin.

  6. Step 4

    Accessorize

    Add some glamour with a straw hat, oversized sunglasses, and a delicate piece of jewelry, like an ankle bracelet. Have a sexy cover-up -- a sheer tunic, a crochet top, or a sarong.

  7. Step 5

    Strike a pose

    Strike this classic model stance to look slimmer: Stand up straight with your shoulders back, stomach in, and chest out; twist your torso a bit at the waist; put one leg slightly in front of the other, bent at the knee; and put our hands on your hips.

  8. Flexing your armpits makes your arms look toned.

  9. Step 6

    Slather on the sunscreen

    Slather on the sunscreen -- because keeping skin healthy is definitely hot.

  10. A third of women polled cited their bust as their best physical asset in a swimsuit.
