Step 1: Pick your bottom
Pick a flattering bottom. Elongate a short torso with one that sits below your waist; lengthen short legs with a style that's higher on the hips. Prevent hip and thigh bulges with a bottom that ties at the sides. If you have a belly, skip bikinis made with Lycra; go with a loose-fitting bottom containing elastic instead.

Step 2: Choose a top
Look hot in the right bikini top. Choose one with boning or underwire if you're big-breasted; go with ruffles or ruching if you're small-busted. As for style, the bandeau works well on small busts, while halter tops and criss-cross back straps lend support to heavier bust lines. Go for a string bikini if you have a boyish figure.

Tip
There should be no more than 3 inches of string between your breasts.

Step 3: Ditch the flip-flops
Ditch the flip-flops for sexier beach footwear, like wedge espadrilles. If you're very tall and slim, go for gladiator sandals.

Tip
Get your feet sandal-ready by soaking them in equals parts warm milk and water; the lactic acid dissolves dead skin.

Step 4: Accessorize
Add some glamour with a straw hat, oversized sunglasses, and a delicate piece of jewelry, like an ankle bracelet. Have a sexy cover-up -- a sheer tunic, a crochet top, or a sarong.

Step 5: Strike a pose
Strike this classic model stance to look slimmer: Stand up straight with your shoulders back, stomach in, and chest out; twist your torso a bit at the waist; put one leg slightly in front of the other, bent at the knee; and put our hands on your hips.

Tip
Flexing your armpits makes your arms look toned.

Step 6: Slather on the sunscreen
Slather on the sunscreen -- because keeping skin healthy is definitely hot.
