When it comes to swimwear, I always prefer bold block colours and simple silhouettes and, because I have a short torso, I tend to go for bikinis. Covering my good bit with a swimsuit makes no sense. Instead, retro high-waisted briefs work because of the sliver of skin left at the top, or I choose low hipster briefs. Remember – the smaller the brief the better! Less fabric on the bottom weirdly makes you look smaller! I promise.
I only wear Bodas underwear: the fit and fabric are the best and this knowledge translates seamlessly into their swimwear. The silhouette is simple and unfussy and a choice of different tops and bottoms means you can mix and match to suit your body shape. Plus, the fabric is lightweight and dries in an instant.
