Whenever you are bathing suit shopping, you want to continue with that mentality. Obviously, you want to focus on fit, as with any body shape, but opt for bikinis over one pieces as they will accentuate the appeal of your boyish figure and make you appear curvaluscious! The bikini will actually help break up your straight up and down lines, but look for ones that are triangle shapes to add to the curve appeal. In addition, if you aren’t comfortable enough for a two piece, look for a one piece that has a sweetheart neckline, bringing you some curves there.
