When it comes to swimwear, it's all about finding the perfect suit for
your body type. I'm in the market for a new bikini (I've ruled out a
one-piece since my long torso makes them unbearably uncomfortable), so
in the quest to find the ideal two-piece I decided to ask four ladies
who know bikinis better than anyone: Victoria's Secret Angels.
Yes, this was a very humbling experience, talking to women who wear lingerie for a living (and look perfect in it). But they've seen it all and have to look swimsuit-ready at all times. It can't be easy. Anyway, they all agreed on the exact same bikini to try and promised it would be just right for me. It's the Victoria's Secret Triangle Top and Double-String Bottom. "I like a small butt on the bikini," said Lily Aldridge. "I think it's more flattering. I know women are scared of it, but it's honestly more flattering."
Adriana Lima added that before you try this classic swim look, you need to exfoliate and go for a self-tanner. "Getting that glow is so important. I like to look tan." Candice Swanepoel said that before she puts on her bikini, she gets her workouts in. "If I don't feel comfortable, it shows," she said. "I like the really small bathing suits, but they have to hold you in and not move."
Erin Heatherton said she loves a classic triangle shape, adding that Candice bought her an X-rated one for her birthday. "I literally can't wear it in the USA," she said. "I wore it once and covered my butt with my hands the whole time!"
OK—so I'm not going the X-rated route, but I do love this two-piece suggestion, and you know what? I'm going to go for a size smaller bikini bottom and see how I feel. Could it actually be more flattering (on a woman who is not an Angel)? We'll see!
