"Swim season's here! While we've got you set with the summer's trendiest suits, the matter of beach-ready fitness and confidence requires some expert attention. So we hit up (who else?) model Candice Swanepoel at the Victoria's Secret summer kick-off party for her master advice. Read on for her top tips!\n\nYour work as an Angel (and cover girl for the Victoria's Secret swimwear catalog!) certainly makes you a beach style expert. What do you look for in a swimsuit?\n\n Because I'm so active on the beach, I like them small, but they still need to be made of good material. I look for nice colors, and I need to be able to surf and swim without my suit moving around!\n\nDo you have a favorite color for swimwear?\n\n I like blue and yellow! Victoria's Secret has some cool patterns that you can mix and match\u2014like a solid bottom and a printed top. It's good to change it up and feel different every time you put on a suit.\n\nWhat are your other summer staples?\n\n For New York City, I like to have some good sneakers since walking in sandals gets a bit nasty. I also really like comfortable shorts, T-shirts, and jeans.\n\nWhat are your beach styling tips?\n\n When I pack for the beach, I always have different scarves and sarongs that I can double-up by wrapping around my waist or my head. I pack pretty simply, but I take a lot of accessories that are fun to play with, like different sunglasses.\n\nWhat advice do you have for how to be confident in a swimsuit?\n\n It's important to work out because you always feel better when you do. Get a good coverup\u2014Victoria's Secret has beautiful coverups that are good to have if you're feeling a little self-conscious. But even if you don't feel that confident, the real secret is just fake it!\n\nTell us about your summer fitness prep.\n\n I've been trying out a couple of different things lately because I got bored of just doing the same routine! I love to try new classes\u2014I recently tried a jump rope class at Aerospace. I like boxing and ballet. I also tried Pilates on the machine, which I really like!\n\nWhat is your warm-weather beauty routine like?\n\n Less is more! Wear a little bronzer, and have something to tie your hair back with."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
