As soon as the down payment is made on the holiday, anxiety often sets in about bearing all on the beach. Bikinis and swimsuits are not exactly the most discreet items of clothing, and given that most people would never dream of parading themselves about in just their underwear, it is no wonder that the prospect is a slightly scary one.

Instead of hitting the gym or starting out on a new fad diet, however, why not simply try to learn to love the skin you''re in and make the most of your assets, just as they are? There are plenty of flattering swimwear solutions available if you are willing to take the time to seek them out.

First of all, there is absolutely nothing wrong with not wanting to wear a bikini. Swimming costumes are just as sexy and usually more stylish. Furthermore, what will really make you look and feel great is self confidence, so if you are more comfortable in a swimsuit stick to that.

Swimsuits can, in fact, be incredibly flattering. They can boost or reduce your bust. They can make your tummy invisible. They can even make your bum look good. Don''t be afraid to try out a rang of retailers ...
... and styles in order to find the one that will give you the most beach body confidence.

Bikinis are a different ball game. Often, it seems like the only ones on the market are those stringy varieties that tie at the back, the neck and on either side of the bottoms so that they may be adjusted to fit all shapes and sizes. Note the word fit does not necessarily equate to suit.

The fact is, this style offers little support to those boasting a bigger bust and, even on petite frames, are rarely the most comfortable. Shop around and try to find a store that will offer you the chance to mix and match tops and bottoms so you can choose the shape, size and style to flatter each body area.

For those wishing to enhance their cleavage, padded halter neck styles and bandeau tops with plenty of ruching will help to maximise your bust. For those who already have plenty of cleavage and are looking for adequate support, halter neck styles are likely to be the least comfortable. Go for full bra straps instead and look out for bra tops with under-wiring and plenty of structure.

Confidence is paramount. If you are not comfortable, you are sure to damage your confidence so make comfort your first priority. Why not go for a skin boosting spa treatment and a pedicure before you leave? These are all things that will help you to feel fabulous in the skin you''re in.
