" Don&amp;#039;t buy into all that toxic noise about &amp;quot;pear-shaped women need to wear this and plus-size women need to wear that.&amp;quot; This swimwear guide is completely size-blind. No matter how big, skinny, or fit you are, all of these are guaranteed to make you look like a hot piece on the beach this summer. 1. Be the brightest thing on land or at sea. Use color to put the attention where YOU want it. Dark and muted colors recede, while bolder, brighter colors jump out at you.   Yellow Bandeau Top, ZERO + MARIA CORNEJO, $165; Blue Bottoms, REISS, $50; Multicolored Top, GIEJO, $120; Multicolored and Striped Bottoms, GIEJO, $95 Also, try color-blocking, which is flattering on absolutely everyone, expecially when done in a scheme similar to the suit on the bottom right.    Black and White One-Piece, MODCLOTH, $63; Blue and Yellow One-Piece, MONIF C., $168 2. Get more stares with eye-catching prints. Want to make a particular part of your swimsuit pop? Throw on a print. The bolder and more interesting it is, the more it will become the focal point of your look.  Push-Up Top, AERIE, $40; Turquoise Bottoms, AERIE, $20; Red Triangle Top, J.CREW, $44; Yellow Floral Print Bottoms, J.CREW, $50 If mismatching isn&amp;#039;t really your style, try print-blocking to achieve your desired effect. It&amp;#039;s the same as color-blocking, but with prints!    Black and White Striped Top, ASOS CURVE, $31; Black and White Striped Bottoms, ASOS CURVE, $31; Purple Printed One Piece, FP MOVEMENT X ZINKE, $128 3. Go big or go home! Another great way to draw the eye is by playing with proportions. Want to bring attention up? Create a little extra noise and interest on top with a rash guard or long-line bustier bikini top. Sometimes what you don&amp;#039;t see is actually more compelling than what you do.    Blue Printed Rash Guard, BECCA BY REBECCA VIRTUE, $54; Blue Printed Bottoms, BECCA BY REBECCA VIRTUE, $54; Multicolored Embroidered Bustier and Bottoms, MARA HOFFMAN, $278  Similarly, bottoms that use more material and cover more surface area, like retro, high-waisted styles, or bottoms with ruffles or skirts, are ideal for drawing the eye down, especially when you&amp;#039;re wearing something relatively small on top.    White Halter Top, FOREVER 21 PLUS, $13; High-Waisted Ruched Bottoms, FOREVER 21 PLUS, $12; Floral Print Bandeau Top, TORY BURCH, $125; Floral Print Skirted Bottoms, TORY BURCH, $130 4. Shine bright like a diamond. What&amp;#039;s more likely to grab your attention \u2014 something with sparkles and metal and other embellishments, or something totally basic? Duh! Sparkles!    Studded Black Top, H&amp;amp;M, $30; Black-Tie Bottoms, H&amp;amp;M, $10; Black One Piece With Chain Detail, BEACH RIOT, $147 If sparkly isn&amp;#039;t your thing, bows, ruffles, knots, and embroidery also make great embellishments.   Green Strapless One-Piece With Bows, JUICY COUTURE, $123; Pastel Color-Block Bikini Top, AEROPOSTALE, $22; Pastel Color-Block Bottoms, AEROPOSTALE, $26 5. Get a little weird. The more unusual something is, the more you&amp;#039;re going to want to look at it. A one-piece covered in sexy, skin-flashing straps is going to get a lot more attention than a one-piece without all the bells and whistles. And nobody is going to be able to look away if you&amp;#039;ve got a giant parrot on your swimsuit.   Coral Strappy Back One-Piece, MIKOH SWIMWEAR, $202; Parrot One-Piece, WE ARE HANDSOME, $390 Cutouts are another great way to create unexpected visual interest and the effects are similar to color-blocking, but sexier because you&amp;#039;re using your own skin to guide the eye instead of two different fabrics or prints.   White One-Shoulder One-Piece With Cutouts, DKNY, $108; Black One-Piece With Cutouts, VICTORIA&amp;#039;S SECRET, $99  6. Get a move on. The eye is drawn to things that move. When something moves, your inner hunter/gatherer gets scared and wants to make sure there isn&amp;#039;t anything dangerous about to jump out of the bushes and eat him/her. *~*~*AnThRoPoLoGy*~*~*. A swimsuit with a little fringe or a ruffle blowing in the breeze is a lot more compelling than one that just stands still.    Orange Fringed Monokini, EXPRESS, $70; Pink Gingham Bikini Set, TOPSHOP, $40 You can also make the eye move with swimsuits that sweep up and around in dramatic ways. One-shoulder swimsuits are particularly good for moving the eye up toward your face.     Purple One-Shoulder One-Piece, MIRACLESUIT, $200; Coral One-Shoulder Bikini Top, VICTORIA&amp;#039;S SECRET, $55; Coral Bottoms, VICTORIA&amp;#039;S SECRET, $39   RELATED ARTICLES: The Best Bikinis for Big Boobs 20 Totally Insane Swimsuits That Will Give You Super-Weird Tan Lines 35 One-Piece Swimsuits Way Sexier Than Any Bikini Follow Charles on Twitter.
