Swimsuits For All Types

The search for a bathing suit that looks great and accentuates your positives can be a withering experience. To help with this year's shopping, the editors at Glamour magazine have tested over a thousand suits.

Executive fashion editor-at-large Suze Yalof Schwartz visited The Early Show to show off some of the season's best swimsuits.

Schwartz says swimsuits are not always true to your actual clothing size. They can be generally one size larger than your other garments. So, keep this in mind and do not get discouraged in the dressing room.

The following items were demonstrated on The Early Show:

Sunglasses, Via Spiga, $48

Tips:

• Look for hidden support from underwire and high content lycra suits; the support should be for your bust as well as the sides of your top.

• If you have a boyish figure, Schwartz says try to wear feminine suits with flirty details like bows or flirty ties on the side will help create visual curves; also suits with a big plunge in the front is great to because the space between cups helps distract from a flatter chest.
