It's a water world -- especially in June, July, and August. Whether you've got a three month beach plan devised or you'll be working on a natural tan, it's inevitable that swimwear season will leave you shopping for a new suit. That's why we wrote up this bathing beauty guide -- make finding the perfect water wear the most simple task of your long awaited vacation.

    How many times have you made a dash to the mall, only to come home depressed at the fact that your ideal swimsuit must be in Europe? Well, no need to head overseas. As a matter of fact, it may not be the suit selection -- you could be the one checking out the deceptive suits. Here, some tips to wear the perfect fit:

H20 SOLUTION: If you're looking to make more of your upper chest area, no need for plastic surgery. Instead, opt for design details in the bust area. Also, if you're looking for a specific style of swimwear, your best bet would be mesh, bright fabrics, or horizontal striping to create the illusion of a larger bustline.

H20 SOLUTION: If the problem occurs the opposite of the above, try for tankinis, diagonal tops, or crossovers. Pay close attention to support and comfort coverage -- this will make your beach going expedition a more successful relief. Halter tops and structured back treatment, (such as a keyhole back), can also aid in lessening your chest.

H20 SOLUTION: Hips aren't too hip to you? To make your sides less noticeable, it is suggested that you look for skirted suits, sarongs (those cute and stylish wraparounds), and boy cut styles. Another option would be to select bikini bottoms and one piece suits with higher cut leg openings. This is where the boy cut fits in. These suggestions work perfectly if you want to make your thighs look trimmer, as well.

H20 SOLUTION: This is where you become a master trickster. There is no swimsuit that will magically make you lose that tummy, but that doesn't mean you have to give up on looking good in a swimsuit entirely. Instead, endeavor for something that draws attention to any area but your stomach. This can be a pattern of some sort across your bust to a skirted suit that accentuates your lower half. Also, consider one of the newest swim styles, the blouson swimsuit, to hide your problem area.

     A helpful suggestion is to pick a day to spend shopping for a suit. We know, we know. Not exactly how you want to give up a weekend day. Make it more interesting by having a joint shopping trek with your closest companions, (especially ones who will be honest). This way, you can find which style best suits you, (pardon the pun), so you can keep that in mind for future reference. Here, we bring you some last minute tips:

>>>When trying on a variety of suits, make sure to get a look from as many angles as possibly to determine the true fit of the swimwear. Move around the dressing room a bit to see if it rides up, sags down, or does anything mildly annoying, (mild turns to extremely irritating when spending the day in the sun with your entourage).

>>>If it doesn't work for you but it's "in," don't fall in the trend trap. It's better to feel comfortable and confident in a suit, then to wear a thong and wonder if you're being secretly laughed at.

>>>Consider the purpose of your bathing suit. If you're going to be doing some serious activities, like major swimming or running, then opt for a suit that fits your priorities. If you'll just be lounging, then something to show off or fit comfortably is your best bet.

>>>Figure out the statistics of your body type. Then, decided which areas you'd be happy to highlight and the ones you'd like to make more of a downplay on.

    Finally, buying basics is an interesting concept. That'll help, so that you can mix and match for a more elaborate swimdrobe. This summer, be safe and rule the beach. After all, with ninety days of freedom ahead, this is going to be a long ride. Don't forget your sunblock!
