7 Quick Tricks to Look 10lbs. Thinner in Your Swimsuit for Spring Break

Spring Break is coming up quick. No time to hit the gym? No problem. You can easily fake a better body with a better bathing suit! Read on for 7 quick tricks to get your best beach body instantly.

1. Consider a one piece. It elongates the silhouette for a leaner look. Higher cut legs help lengthen legs, too.

2. Underwire tops are a great choice for the bigger-busted - they'll lift your breasts up and help define your waist. Formed cups and wider bands under the bustline also give added support; halter tops offer support with cleavage.

3. Mini-skirted bikini bottoms are perfect for bottom-heavy pear shapes, covering what you'd rather hide while showing just enough skin.

4. Tummies look can trimmer under tankini tops and high waisted bikini bottoms. Look for a suit with built-in tummy control panels.

5. Prints, ruching, wrap waists, and shirring all help hide extra lumps and bumps, while well-placed frilly details or pretty hardware help direct the eye away from our more problematic areas to our more universally loved features.

6. Finally, ditch the baggy T-shirt (they just make you appear larger and frumpy) for a grown up cover up and invest in a beach-ready sarong or kaftan that will stylishly play up your assets. Keep in mind, short tunics are great for killer gams while tube dresses show off beautiful collarbones and shoulders.
