"Go for styles that suit your body type. If you LOVE certain features, make sure those are the ones you play up. Don't buy swimsuits that look good on celebrities, or even your friends, if they don't look great on you. If one suit looked good on everyone, then they wouldn't make so many different styles!"

Denim-meets-sexy in this plunging-neckline one piece. Jenny's #1 fit tip is: "Buy your right size. Often girls want to buy the size that they think is the 'right' size, while this may not be 'their' right size. You look slimmer and more confident in a larger size than one that's too small. Nobody ever knows your size anyway, so buy what fits you best!"
