The difference with tall swimsuits is in the length. A longer torso means one-pieces sit comfortably without pulling on the shoulders, and higher-cut legs look balanced rather than cropped. If you're between styles, look for flexible straps and tie details so you can adjust the fit.
Styling your beachwear
Beach days are all about easy layers. Throw a shirt over a one-piece for the walk to lunch, or knot a sarong at the hip for a relaxed feel. A wide-brim hat and slides finish the look, and an oversized tote carries the rest.
What to look for
Adjustable straps, ruched detailing and cut-out shaping bring the finishing touch to your look. Darker tones and clean prints work hard across the whole vacation, while brighter shades make a statement for pool days.
