Does the thought of shopping for a new bathing suit have you running for cover? Style cop Clinton Kelly says there's good reason this type of clothing makes women so anxious. "When you're wearing a bathing suit, it's as close as you're going to be to naked in front of other people!" jokes the *What Not to Wear* host. Clinton wants to help you embrace the warmer weather by finding the right suit for your figure. "You can cover up the things that you don't like about your body, because there are a ton of swimsuits on the market right now to fix every figure challenge."
**Camouflage a waistline.** "If you do carry weight in your mid-section, you want to look for a bathing suit that has a [control] panel in it in the front," Clinton explains. Also, look for ruching in the fabric to slenderize the waist.
**Bikini for moms.** Clinton suggests a two-piece "tankini" for a mature version of the bikini: "It's got that sophistication to it, but also shows a little bit of skin."
**Bikini for a fuller bust.** Look for bikinis sold by cup size and find one with an underwire. "When you have a larger chest," Clinton says, "you really do need that structure."
Clinton's extra tip: If the bathing suit of your dreams does not fit perfectly, get it tailored!
