1) The most important criteria in choosing a swimsuit is the fit. Since women come in all shapes and sizes, swimsuits should too. This is the reason why I like to choose bikinis that I can buy different sizes for the top and bottom. By having that option, I can choose the one that best fits me everywhere. Make sure the bottom doesn't have that extra fabric that creates a pouch of water that follows you when you get out of the pool.
If there is a swimsuit you really really like but doesn't comes in a set, it will still be okay if it's a string tie bottom on the side, that way, you can adjust more.
2) Prints for bikini, color for one-piece - Get some bright color prints for the summer! We have all of Fall and Winter to wear black and brown, have fun with your prints in the summer time! As for one-piece, larger prints will be better to offset the busyness. If you are most conservative, at least go for one that is not black so that you will look different from all the other women wearing black one-pieces.
3) Watch for the funky tanlines. There are a lot of 'different' styles lately of monokinis, bikinis with multiple straps that go all over the place. They may look cool right now, just watch out for the tanlines that they bring with it. You have to imagine, "Do I want this print on me for the next 3 months?"
4) Finally, get something you feel comfortable in! A woman is the most confident when they are comfortable. By being confident, your sexiness will show.

Now that we have our swimsuits picked out, let's go rock it at the pool! One more tip, lime juice stains, so if you just took a shot of tequila and touched lime, do NOT, I repeat, do NOT put your hands on your skin until you washed it. After a day in the sun, it doesn't look pretty to have hand prints on your body....no personal experience what-so-ever here. *wink*
Heh heh heh - some useful shopping and general life advice!! :-)
