Who says you have to spend a fortune on summer clothing, shoes, & accessories?  Not me (or rather, Not I).  And it may be the last day of July, but I say we still have a good month-plus left of summer (and perhaps longer, depending on where you live).  It's never too late to buy cover-ups, flip-flops, and beach bags.

 If you're heavier on the bottom and smaller on the top [like me], then you want to take the attention away from your hips and butt but adding ruffles (whether subtle or obvious) to your bikini top.   


Long Torso

Bantu High Waist Printed Bikini


$200


net-a-porter.com







If you're tall and/or have a rather long torso, you want to break it up with a wide bandeau top and high-waist bottoms.






Apple-Shaped


Lisa Curran Granada One Shoulder


$180


lisacurran.com





You can hide any tummy bulge with a black one-piece, and if you don't want to skimp on the sexiness you can wear a one-shoulder suit.  




Busty Babe


D&G Dolce & Gabbana Bikini


$133


store.dolcegabbana.com







This bikini top gives your fuller cups more coverage, while simultaneously showing them off with some rather obvious cleavage.  






Boy-Shaped


Tomas Maier Bikini


$192


thecorner.com





For those people who are straight-up-and-down, this bikini is perfect for creating curves (anything tops and bottoms that are busy will do).
