Let's begin with the essential pieces our stylists recommend for a versatile and stylish poolside wardrobe.

Goal 1: For a Flattering Tummy

A sarong is a fantastic tool for creating a comfortable and confident look, as seen in the photo. The key is to use soft draping and stylish layers to your advantage.

• Tie a sarong with a soft, diagonal drape.
• Try a one-piece with tummy-control ruching.
• Wear a high-waisted bikini bottom.

Goal 2: To Define Your Waist

Adding a focal point at your narrowest part creates a beautiful shape, just like the chain belt does in the visual. This simple trick works on many swimsuit styles to add interest and create definition.

• Add a stylish belt over your one-piece.
• Use a scarf or pareo tied at the waist.
• Try a swimsuit with strategic side cutouts.

Goal 3: To Elongate Your Figure

The secret to a longer-looking silhouette is creating an unbroken vertical line, as the open kimono perfectly demonstrates. This draws the eye up and down seamlessly, making your figure appear taller.

• Wear a long, open-front kimono or duster.
• Choose a swimsuit with a plunging V-neck.
• Opt for high-cut bottoms to lengthen legs.

With these tips, you can use a few key pieces to build poolside outfits that make you feel fabulous and ready for the sun!
