Look out for one-pieces with a plunging neckline that draws the eye to the middle (and smallest part) of your hourglass.

The halter style draws the eye out to your shoulders and gives the illusion of a more balanced and proportional figure, especially for those who have a slightly modest bust.

Last season’s cutouts get a refined upgrade with the addition of sheer material.
