2. Do own a classic black suit.
What's the one color that never goes out of style? Black! It's slimming, classic and looks great on everyone.
Style Guide favorite:
Calvin Klein black bikini $130
** available at select Macy's
3. Do try a one-piece.
Some suits are sexy but impossible to swim in. This summer's one-piece suits are not only functional but some of the prettiest styles around.

Michael Kors orange/brown paisley one piece $138

Don'ts
1. Don't go unsupported.
If you have a large bust, the best swimsuit is the one that keeps you covered up. There's nothing wrong with a little cleavage but a suit with cups can make a big bust look better.

Sometimes it's better to leave some things to the imagination! Stick with suits that flatter your figure, not ones that reveal too much.
