If you struggle with finding the perfect suit (we all do) that fits your personal style & flatters your figure…read on! We asked Monica Wise, our Creative Director & founder of L*Space to give us her expert tips when it comes to choosing the best bikini.
When it comes to choosing a bikini, “It’s important keep the 3’s C’s in mind. Color, Coverage & Cut. Utilizing Monica’s 3 C’s, here’s how to break it down + pick the perfect suit.
COLOR
Everyone knows what colors look good on them, so this is always a great place to start. For darker skin tones, stick to bright + poppy colors.
Monica’s color picks: Garanium, Sorbet, Sapphire + Pool are perfect hues for you!

Monica’s color picks: Fern, Pebble, Ice + White

Light + fair skin beauties, stick to dark colors such as black, charcoal + denim. Dark & rich colors always complement lighter skin tones. Plus, you can’t go wrong with black!
Monica’s color picks: Black, Charcoal, Denim + Pebble

COVERAGE
Fuller-coverage isn’t always the best option for those of us with a fuller derriere. Instead of reaching for the suit with the most fabric, consider a cut that flatters your figure rather than hiding it. Remember…friends don’t let friends have baggy bikini butt!

CUT
Know your cuts( or where a bikini would land along your waistline/hipline)! If you’re petite & have a small torso, look for a suit that elongates your mid-section. Monica’s pick: The Monique
