If you’re blessed in the booty and boob department, then it’s time to show off what your mumma gave you.

You can get away with a low cut top and high cut bottoms just like Iggy Azalea and Kim Kardashian – it’ll be the perfect two-piece to show off your figure.

Note: the higher you pull up your bikini bottoms, the smaller your waist, and bigger your thighs will look.

Iggy adds a body chain to show off her waist, and sticks to a classic black bikini to let her accessories (and killer bod) do all the talking.

A cut out swimsuit like this striped Topshop number with tie top will help create a waist and show off your slender body.

Note: ruffle details and a slightly padded bikini top like this H&M style will add curves in all the right places.
