Q. Help! I need a new swimsuit for summer that makes me look like I have some curves. I have a straight figure with very little or no curves. What style would look good on me?
-Blind Curves
A. A straight or boyish body type can create the look of curves with swimsuit styles that have cut-outs, such as one-piece halter swimsuits with cut-outs and monokinis. The monokini is similar to a bikini, except the top and bottom parts are connected in the middle and cut-outs show off your sides--it's perfect for creating an hourglass look. In addition to cut-out details, diagonal stripes, bows, and ruffles on a swimsuit also help increase the look of curves with sweet summer style.
