Um, hello, it's June! And it has been for a week already! And even though it's not yet officially summer (2 more weeks - yes, I'm counting), to me, June the 1st signals the start of summer. And summer means all things sunshine, outdoors, water, swimming, beaches, and of course, all the apparel that's required for such activities.

A swimsuit is an article of clothing that I think most people are very particular about, and after some (or lots of) trial and error, most have eventually learned what styles do and don't work for them. So, instead of featuring swimsuits, which would be tricky and too generalized, I chose to depict some swimsuit cover-ups. A beach cover-up is more universal - the cover-ups are usually loose and flowing and are suitable for almost every body type.

If you're short, choose a shorter cover-up, to make your legs look longer. If you're tall, choose a shorter cover-up, to show off your long legs. Oh wait - I guess that means both short and tall girls should wear shorter cover-ups. See? Told you - universal and flattering for every body type.

If you're short, choose a maxi cover-up, because it will give you an elongated look. If you're tall, wear a maxi cover-up, because who are we kidding, tall girls can wear anything. Hey look - maxi cover-ups also work for both short and tall girls!

So choose a short or a long beach cover-up. Both are equally flattering. For all body types.
