Michelle's Perfect Suit

"Finally -- a bikini that makes my lower half look good!"
Her best bet: a fold-over style bottom with cinching side strings that adjusts at the waist and leg.

Got a body like Michelle's? While boy shorts can make you look squat, an asymmetrical skirt bottom will elongate you. Keep it dark on the bottom with separates or two-toned suits. When choosing a one-piece, look for bandeau styles that offer full bottom coverage.

On Michelle: Badgley Mischka Twist and Shout bikini, $166, neimanmarcus.com
