It’s time. You need a vacation. I’m pretty sure it’s been proven somewhere that we all are happier, smarter, and healthier when we’ve taken a nice, relaxing break from the grueling demands of the grindstone. Although we leave it to you to find your own version of paradise, you can leave it to us to help you be fashionable when you get there.

Styles may vary by location, but whether you are in the Caribbean, the Bahamas, Mexico, Hawaii, or somewhere off the beaten path, the following are staples in any location.

Must Haves: hot sunglasses, bright toes, cute hats, swimsuit and coverup, rockin’ tan, beach tote, ipod, haviaianas.

What is best for your body type?

apple shaped body

For body frames that have broader shoulders and smaller hips

Two-piece bikinis or tankinis with a solid color top and a patterned bottom will give you a more balance appearance.

pear shaped body

For body types have larger hips and smaller shoulders with a waist that is larger than the shoulders

One-piece bathing suits with tummy control or other design feature that create the illusion of a waist line will be the most flattering.

small bust

To enhance a smaller bust try a halter bikini top that has a seam just under the bust line or a lightly padded or line top. Swim wear with texture can also help detract attention away from your bust line if you feel self-conscious.

fuller bottom

Skirted swim suits are back in style and can be found in many different patterns and styles. The skirt flatters a fuller bottomed body type and will give you a more balance look. You may also want to try on a few boy short styles as well. Both of these options offer a little more coverage on the bottom.

slender body

For athletic bodies that have shoulders, waist and hips that are the similar in width

One-piece or two-piece suits with detailing around the waist will help create a more hourglass shape. Try a wrap style top or a belted bathing suit bottom to create more waist definition.

hourglass figure

For bodies that have balanced shoulders and hips with a smaller waist

If this is you, you're lucky because just about any classic styled bathing suit should flatter your figure.
