Swimsuit shopping is a different experience for everyone. Personally, I'm always on a mission to find bikinis that flatter a small bust and make my legs look longer. While shopping for the latter, I've realised one thing: always go with high-cut bikini bottoms.
That means the straps sit a little above your hip bones, drawing the attention upward. Even the simple curvature of a bikini bottom makes a noticeable difference. I've learned to avoid styles that cut straight across and to stick to solid or printed options like the ones ahead. If you want the illusion of longer legs, the swimsuits here will give it to you.
