Flatter Your Figure: Lengthen a short torso

4 of 6

Swimwear

If you have a bikini body, that's definitely what you should wear, especially if it has a v neck for the top. Opt for lower cut bottoms, and don't shy away from cute little boy shorts or skirts, like this Juicy Couture Beach Ruffle Skirtini from Nordstrom. If you are wearing a one piece, look for something with straps and a bit of coverage in the front. A halter with a deep V will show just how little distance there is between your chest and waist and hips. Cutouts in the back and on the sides, if you can handle it, will lengthen your torso.
