How to choose the right beachwear this summer

Summers are here and so is the time to holiday, with most of us taking off to interesting destinations to escape the city's heat. And if a holiday on the beach is what you have planned for, then choosing the right beachwear is a must. If you are one of those who shy away from showing off that sexy bikini-clad body, here are a few options for you.
A skirty affair
Not the formal pencil skirt that you wear to work, or that skater skirt you last partied in, opt for a really short shift skirt to wear on the beach.An Aztec or tribal print in bright colours will be ideal. Shilpa Shetty Kundra shows you how it can be best paired with a backless sports bra or a baggy tie-up crop top and you are all set to rock that beach party.
Go boy- shorty
A beach volleyball match or some running, boy shorts are an ideal beach-wear. Take a cue from the sexy lass, Bipasha Basu. Simply pair your quirky coloured boy shorts with a T-bag or a spaghetti and you could accessorise the look with some beads.Make sure your legs are well-shaped to flaunt one of these.
Zip it up
Amisha Patel's sheer zipper beachwear, that covers a little bit of your thighs, is something that you should definitely opt for. Go for light hues since they look best during summers. Make sure your bikini or swimsuit is of the same colour, so can simply zip it down a bit to show as much cleave you wish to.
Short it out
A really hot pair of denim shorts, just the one that Jacqueline Fernandez has sported paired with a cotton top or shirt is a great option to look sexy on the beach. An interesting bra with a nice pattern and colour is all you need to glam up this look.Complete this look with a pair of pop colour flip flops.
Playfully suited
Playsuits are the new cool, with some interesting patterns and designs, you can look your casual chic in a playsuit.Either with shoulder tie-ups or backless, make sure that the length doesn't exceed your thighs and that they are comfortable enough for a playful day at the beach. You can wear a windy shrug in case you wish to add to its charm, just like Diana Penty.
