It's safe to say I'm living my best life when I'm in a bathing suit these days (according to my IG) and I'm always on the hunt for the cutest and best fitting styles, especially for my petite frame. Yes, I'm 5'3" and petite contrary to what photos may portray! Earlier this summer I partnered with SwimSpot to share some great styles for petite babes as part of their fit specialist team. The key is to choose bathing suits for your petite frame that tailor to your figure, instead of overwhelming it. Swim season is even better this summer because some of the hottest styles (one-pieces and high cut bikinis) are SO flattering on us.  

When it comes to one pieces I opt for styles that show off some skin and have adjustable details. I love the the lace up back on this Splendid suit because I can tighten it to accentuate my waist. This suit also comes with removable halter straps if strapless isn't your thing. Between the lace up back, tie front, and removable straps you can really customize this baby to fit your body!

I'm also obsessed with high leg one-pieces and bikinis (like this one) because they make your legs look SOOO long! The 90's are back and I'm taking FULL advantage of it when it comes to swimwear styles.
