    How To Look Your Best for Your Sexy Bikini

    Cupid's Light TeamBy Cupid's Light Team13 Mins Read

    The days are longer, the sun is hotter, and now that it’s summer, you’ve got one thing on your mind: Hitting the beach or pool with your friends and family and soaking in all the vitamin D you can get before the overcast sets back in. But first, you need to get the perfect sexy bikini to help you feel your best!

    Maybe you picked a bathing suit up last year but didn’t feel confident enough to wear it. Perhaps you bought it in a smaller size to help motivate you to lose weight. If not, it’s time to hit add to cart on a new sexy bikini that will help you look as fabulous as you feel. Even if you already have a suit that works, it’s okay to indulge yourself now and then with a new one! The warm weather is here, and it’s your time to shine.

    Now that you have your perfect swimsuit, here’s everything you need to know about how to look your best for your sexy bikini. You’ll be beach-ready and looking like a famous swimsuit model in no time.

    How to Look Your Best in a Sexy Bikini

    Even if you’re not as skinny as Miranda Kerr or as curvy as Kim Kardashian, you can still look great in a sexy bikini! Gone are the days you had just a handful of options at your local store. There are different styles, shapes, and patterns, so you can pick the sexy bikini of your dreams in-store and online.

    Looking your best in a sexy bikini is a combination of pre-work like eating right, grooming properly, exercising, and drinking enough water and in-the-moment work, like picking a suit that fits your body type, flattering color, and accessorizing to your benefit. It’s more complicated than it looks to choose the sexy bikini of your dreams, but don’t lose hope.

    Try on different fits and colors until your find one that you like. Then just go for it! Don’t let the haters stop you from wearing what you want. Keep in mind any dress code restrictions at the beach or pool. Some require fuller coverage, so a thong bikini will get you ejected when they see what you’re wearing. If you’re respectful and consider your surroundings, you’ll be radiating confidence in your sexy bikini in no time.

    Tips for Choosing a Sexy Bikini

    When cruising the beach, you’ve got to have the right mindset. Sexy bikini, check. Banging body, check. Plenty of sunscreen and beach towels, check and check. It’s all about looking and feeling your best, and here are some tips for choosing a sexy bikini.

    Select Your Bikini Type

    First, select the bikini type. Not all kinds of bikinis suit everyone, so pick a flattering style for you and your body shape. Throw the old rules out the window. You don’t have to wear a one-piece swimsuit if you’re self-conscious about your midsection. Instead, choose a sexy bikini that’s high-waisted and has thicker straps. You need something with full support that can tuck everything in without cutting into your skin.

    Try a string bikini if you have an hourglass shape and want to draw attention to your hips while wearing a sexy bikini. Mix and match different styles of tops and bottoms if you have different needs. Customize your swimsuit to your body type. There are more options now than ever, so if one store isn’t right for you, try another. Some even specialize in particular sizes for your best fit.

    If you’re unsure what your best feature or body type is, try on several different styles to see what you like best. The perfect sexy bikini makes you feel confident while wearing it. If you love it, wear it! Sexy swimsuits are all about how they make you feel, not anyone else. Don’t let the inner critic in your mind win when they tell you you’re too big to wear that, or everyone will be staring at you. If people are looking, it’s because you look amazing!

    Pick the Right Bikini Top

    Now that you’ve picked the overall style, consider the bikini top and the features you may need. Many different tops are available, so you can get the support you need no matter your chest size in a sexy bikini.

    Adjustable straps will help keep the girls in place, while halter tops will let you make them as tight as you want them. You can get a mix of both with the band adjustable and the straps halter. Next, consider the shape of the top. Triangle tops are best for smaller breasts because they don’t provide much coverage.

    On the other hand, some bikinis have cup sizes, which provide extra support for a big bust. They often come with removable padding to give yourself a little extra boost. The tops can be solid, frilly, patterned, and more.

    You want your top to be tight but not cut into your skin. Look for spillage. Size up if you have too much side boob or overflow at the front. Your ideal bikini top should be snug enough to feel secure but loose enough that it’s not hurting you by digging into your chest.

    Pick the Right Bikini Bottom

    The same rules apply when picking the right bikini bottom. You can get the traditional low-waisted bikini style, high-waisted, skorts, boy shorts, thongs, and more. High-waisted may help keep your stomach tucked in and slimmed during your beach session, but you won’t get as good of a tan while wearing it. String bikini bottoms will get you the best tan, but your coverage will be lower, so it’s best for those with no body image issues.

    Your bikini bottom, much like your top, should not cut into your skin. It will make more rolls instead of flattening them out if it cuts. If it has a higher rise, be on the lookout for unsightly camel-toe situations when your bikini bottom rides up. Lower rise bottoms risk your butt crack to be showing, so continue to adjust your suit for its best positioning.

    Ultimately, if your bikini bottom is cutting into your waist or thighs, it’s too small. Size up or select a different fit. You should feel comfortable with full and free movement. If you start to feel any pain or discomfort, it’s time for a new bikini bottom.

    Choose Your Power Color

    When selecting a bikini color, you want to choose one that makes you feel your best. If you have a power color – a color that makes you feel confident, sexy, and ready to take on the world – now’s the time to use it!

    If not, dark colors like a black bikini will be flattering, but it may get hot in the sun. A bright color like neon yellow or pink will help you stand out from a crowd. If a solid color isn’t your thing, there are many patterns to choose from for your sexy bikini. You can also mix a patterned top with a solid bottom and vice versa.

    Busy patterns can hide and smooth out more lumps and bumps because the eye has more to focus on while you’re wearing your swimsuit. Also, you want to consider your skin tone when choosing the color and pattern for your sexy bikini. Some colors look better on darker skin tones, while others universally look good on everyone. If you can put it on, you can pull it off – you just have to have the confidence to do so.

    Accessorize

    The fun doesn’t stop when you’ve got the sexy bikini picked out! Now you can choose your favorite accessories to help elevate the look. A beach wrap can provide a little more coverage when you need it, transitioning from the beach to shopping without an outfit change.

    Sunglasses are critical to shield your eyes and make it easier to see in the bright sun. A hat can protect your face from the sun’s harsh rays while adding a stylish touch to any look. There are different styles of sunglasses and hats to choose from – and often, many beach vendors are waiting to help you select your next look.

    Accessories are optional but critical to help you stand out from others on the beach. Your sexy bikini and accessories can help you catch attention while you’re soaking up the sun’s warmth.

    Embrace Your Body – Flaws and All

    The last and most important tip about looking your best in a sexy bikini is to own your body. Embrace it for all its beautiful, imperfect flaws because nobody is perfect. Even celebrities like Kylie Jenner and Khloe Kardashian that you look up to hate something about their bodies. Many have gotten plastic surgery to help fix their body image issues, which is great if they did it for the right reasons.

    If that’s not in the cards for you, it’s time to give yourself grace and start working towards feeling comfortable in your own skin. Certain bikinis can help you hide problem areas on your body, shaping them to be more flattering. However, those areas will still be there after taking your sexy bikini off.

    Make changes to your diet and exercise routine to target those areas or work on self-love. You are perfect in your imperfections, and it’s unsustainable to think you have to change everything to be accepted by society. Remember, what you see on social media isn’t real. Filters are available at the tap of a button to snatch your waist, smooth your wrinkles, and pop your eyes.

    So, pick a sexy bikini that you love and rock it. Your body will radiate confidence when you’re feeling how you look, so don’t forget to take the perfect beach selfie!

    Before You Hit the Beach

    A great diet and exercise routine will help you feel your best when you’re getting ready to hit the beach, but it’s not the only thing you should consider when preparing to take in the rays. Let’s look at some of the pre-steps you can take before you even step foot on the beach.

    If you make smart choices, you won’t have to stress about getting beach ready overnight – you already will be!

    Eat a Healthy Balanced Diet

    Before you slip on your sexy bikini, you want to make sure you’re eating right. If you don’t, you may start to bloat, and you’ll look bigger than you’d like in your bikini. Avoid high carb, high sodium foods, including frozen meals and highly processed foods. Some vegetables like onions, broccoli, and beans may also cause gas, which will lead to bloating.

    Try eating a salad before you go, with goodies like cooked spinach, tomatoes, asparagus, and celery. They will help you feel full while digesting properly without any harmful side effects that could harsh your summer vibes.

    Alcohol can also make you feel bloated, making your skin look lifeless with high consumption over time. It is okay to drink occasionally; just drink water to balance out your alcohol consumption. There are often high-calorie counts in each drink, so be aware if you’re trying to watch what you eat for your sexy bikini.

    Drink Plenty of Water

    You’ll be in the sun all day, so you want to drink plenty of water. Dehydration is a real possibility and, in severe cases, could lead to hospitalization. Additionally, drinking enough water will make your skin look fantastic and prevent water retention, which is one of the reasons you look bloated in your sexy bikini.

    Typically, you should drink two liters of water per day, which equates to eight 8 oz glasses per day. Drink more if you’re out in the heat for long periods, up to 1 cup per 15-20 minutes. This will help you avoid heatstroke and dehydration.

    Take Care of Down There

    It’s not the sexiest of tips, but your personal grooming should be on point if you’re getting ready to hit the beach. First, you’ll want to shave your legs and armpits. Consider exfoliating and moisturizing if your skin is scaly and dry.

    Next, check your bikini line to see if you need to do any hair removal. You can consider getting a bikini wax if it’s bushy or shaving if you have stray hairs visible from your bikini bottom along your bikini area. They make special razors and hair removal creams that are sensitive enough for this area while being powerful enough to remove all hair without worry.

    If you’re pale, you may consider giving yourself a self-tan. Apply the product as directed all over your body using the mitten and wait. Check how long you need to leave it on for best results, and then rinse carefully. You’ll start your beach time with a great base glow. No one needs to know that it came from a bottle. If you’re in a pinch, you can also use bronzer. Don’t go in the water while wearing your sexy bikini, or it will quickly rinse off.

    Lather Up on Sunscreen

    Whether you’re planning a long day outside or just a few short hours, lather up on sunscreen before you go, hitting every part of your body, including your eyelids. Reapply every two hours, especially if you are in and out of the water. Sunburns can be painful, and repeated unprotected exposure to the sun can lead to skin cancer when you’re older.

    Use SPF 30 or higher for the best protection. If you don’t like the filmy white cast of lotion sunscreen, consider using a spray. It doesn’t matter what type of sunscreen you use, just that you protect yourself while wearing a sexy bikini. There’s nothing sexy about being lobster red for weeks as you wait for your skin to peel.

    The Final Word on Looking Great in Your Sexy Bikini

    Chose the right sexy bikini for you and your body type, paying close attention to the kind of support you need. Adjustable straps can help you feel secure, while fuller coverage can give your chest extra support. You can get away without cup sizes if you have a smaller bust, leaning instead towards a triangle or other shaped tops.

    The best thing you can do is try on your suit before buying it. Always wear underwear for sanitary purposes. If you buy them online, make sure they’re returnable. Have fun while picking the best sexy bikini for you. If you love it, wear it. You don’t have to have the perfect body to wear a sexy bikini. If you’re confident in what you’re wearing, it will show. If not, fake it until you make it.

    You may not look like Kendall Jenner, but you’ll be feeling like a million dollars in the perfect sexy bikini.
