PEAR SHAPE
梨型身材
Pear-shaped women typically have a smaller top half, with wider hips and a shapely behind. Famous examples include Beyonce, Alicia Keys and Kate Winslet.
梨形身材的女性通常上半身比較瘦，而臀部寬大，背影凹凸有致，比如碧昂斯（Beyonce），艾麗西亞•凱斯（Alicia Keys）和凱特•溫斯萊特（Kate Winslet）。
When picking a bikini, pear-shaped women should stick to high-waisted designs that show off their curves.
挑選比基尼的時候，梨形身材的女性應該選擇高腰的設計，這能突出自己的曲線。
Steer clear of ruching, draping and pleating, as well as thick-banded bottoms, which will only serve to draw attention to the area.
要避開各種垂墜和褶皺的設計以及厚重的下襬，因爲這隻會把大家的目光吸引到下半身。
To draw attention away from your midriff, opt for plunging tops or those with plenty of detail to distract. You can also emphasise your top half with jewellery or a hat.
應該選擇注重細節又比較搶眼的上裝，來轉移大家在你腹部上的注意力，還可以戴首飾或者帽子來突出你的上半身。
To conceal your hips, tie the bikini or a sarong with the ends drifting down one side of your body to narrow your bottom half, and always opt for wedges to lengthen your legs.
可以將比基尼打個結或圍一個紗籠裙，裙襬偏向側面，一定要高開叉，這樣既能稍微遮住臀部又能顯得腿長。
BIG BUSTED
豐滿胸型
If, like around 40 per cent of women, you take a D cup or above, listen up.
如果你是那擁有D罩杯或以上的40%女性之一，那麼聽好了。
Take Kate Upton as your muse and opt for a triangle top that ties at the neck; good support is vital for spreading your bust out width-wise whilst lounging around the pool.
把凱特•阿普頓（Kate Upton）作爲你的榜樣，選擇系在脖子上的三角形胸罩；當你在泳池裏盡情遨遊時，泳衣對胸部的支撐力至關重要。
As for the bottom half, opt for substantial briefs to emphasise your derrière and balance your top half. Colourwise, darker or brighter hues are the most flattering; avoid pale shades like the plague.
至於下半身，選擇複雜的設計來強調臀部，以此來與上半身達到平衡。而顏色方面，深色或者亮色爲佳，避免平淡的淺色。
If you want to distract the attention away from your cleavage region, wear bottoms with details to divert the attention from your top half.
如果不想讓你的乳溝太吸睛，下半身穿得吸引眼球一點。
Glam accessories below the waist, such as embellished sandals or bold patterned kaftans, will draw the eye away from your top half.
腰以下的部位的華麗飾品，比如珠飾的涼鞋或者帶大膽圖案的長衫，都能轉移大家對你上半身的注意力。
SMALL BUSTED
小胸身材
If, like Kendall Jenner and Kate Hudson, you're proportionally smaller on top with, say, an A or B cup, these tips are for you.
如果像肯達爾•詹娜（Kendall Jenner）和凱特•哈德森（Kate Hudson）一樣平胸，只有A或者B罩杯，那麼以下是給你的小貼士。
Bandeau style bikini tops are perfect for cheating a cleavage, as are ruffled tops. If you really want to go the extra mile, snap up a padded push-up top for extra lift.
細絲帶比基尼以及帶褶飾邊的上裝能夠擠出完美乳溝。如果想效果再好一點，上衣就選帶內襯有託舉效果的款型。
Like Kendall, opt for low-slung high-legged briefs on the bottom half of your body.
像肯達爾，選擇低肩高腰的泳衣。
Accessories-wise, add lots of bracelets - including the oh-so-now gold tattoo jewellery - to draw attention to your arms, giving you a wider outline.
而裝飾方面，戴上很多手鍊——包括搶眼的黃金珠寶紋身——把大家的注意力轉移到你的手臂上，將視覺拉寬。
CURVY GIRLS
曲線凹凸
Do you take after Kim Kardashian with a big bust, hips, thighs, and derriere? You fall into this category.
如果你像金•卡戴珊（Kim Kardashian）一樣，有豐滿的胸部和臀部，大腿粗壯，那你就是這類型的人。
Contrary to popular belief, it's all about highlighting rather than concealing your curves, whilst simultaneously providing enough support and coverage.
與傳統認知相反，這時應該強調你的曲線而不是弱化它，同時要有足夠的支撐和遮擋。
Asymmetrical suits are perfect for drawing attention to the neckline, whilst colour blocking can help highlight your shape. Bigger bikini bottoms will help smooth things out.
不對稱的泳裝有助於把大家的目光吸引到頸線上，而撞色系列的泳衣則有利於凸顯你的曲線。大一點的比基尼下裝能夠讓你的身材整體看起來更勻稱。
Choose eye-catching accessories that distract from your tummy - such as white-rimmed shades and a beach basket or bag.
佩戴搶眼的首飾能夠轉移大家在你肚子上的注意力——例如白框太陽眼鏡，沙灘籃或者沙灘包。
