Short torso

• One-piece suits with a plunging neckline create a continual long silhouette and have a torso-lengthening effect.
• Vertical stripes and patterns visually lengthen the body.
• Bikinis with bottoms that sit low on the hips add length to a short torso.
• Embellished or printed tops with solid bottoms draw the eye up and create a longer look.
• Avoid: Suits with horizontal-stripe designs on the waist area and high-cut bikini bottoms.
