7 points and below: Retro, high-waist bikini

Vintage-inspired swimwear is divine and has made a strong statement in beachwear over the past couple of seasons. Holding the chest and stomach in place with the reminiscence of a pinup perfection, going retro is still a feminine alternative to the traditional bikini, but it plays with a comforting insouciance for flair.

If trying high-waist for the first time, go with a solid color for less distraction. Prints draw more attention to the body. If craving the spotlight, go with a pretty paisley; solid black is a solid option for the wallflowers.

8-11 points: String bikini

You really can’t beat the attraction of a skimpy bikini, especially in the right shade or shade pairings. Simple and classic triangle tops with barely-there coverage are a swim-wardrobe necessity and spring break staple.

Mint green and sharp tangerines are bold and ostentatious colors to try this season, both pairing well with a fine tan. Steer clear of whites without padding; otherwise a quick dip will issue you a ticket for indecent exposure on the family friendly beach.

12 points and above: Monokini

Nothing says va-va-voom like a well-fit monokini among a sea of bikinis. It’s an inherent juxtaposition: more coverage issues more sex appeal. The deep V neckline and intricate details are coy and ideal for those seeking more ogling stares than sunshine.

When wearing a one-piece, going with a print can either be too matronly or oppositely childish. Solid colors speak more volumes in this case, and dark is always more alluring. A classic navy or a deep burgundy looks romantic and beautiful in the sunlight.
