Learn which bits to suck in and which parts to pop out to look like a Love Island star on holiday no matter what your size
We've enlisted the help of TV stylist Sharna Valentine to help you look your best
BEFORE getting envious of the Love Island contestants’ poolside parading, learn how you can look just as good on your summer holiday.
TV stylist SHARNA VALENTINE, assisted by size 12 model Emma, tells you which bits to suck in – and which parts to pop out.
Cocktail o’clock
LACE-Up flat sandals may be on trend but they’ll shorten your legs. Swap for heels for a longer look.Wedges are best as they are sturdier than stilettos, improve your posture and will make your legs look toned.
For a pic, turn your body slightly away from the camera and bend your front knee forward. Voila! This will give you curves you didn’t know you had
Rubber ring
INSTEAD of pressing your calves onto the ring, making them look bigger, stretch out your body and use the whole of the float to support you. Point your toes and lean back.
Reading on towel
IT may be comfortable to spread out while relaxing with a book but to look your best, lift up on your elbows.
It creates an arch in your back, which gives the illusion of a slimmer stomach. Kicking up one leg will make your pins look longer too.
Relaxing on a lilo
THEY’RE not the easiest to get on but once you do, lounge in style.
Instead of sitting up and squashing your stomach, lie back with your arms above your head. This will extend your middle, give great shape to your upper body and you’ll be comfy too.
Let the lilo support your weight and stretch your legs with pointed toes for full leg-lengthening effect.
Poolside selfie
YOU need a great angle and lots of natural light. Try shooting from above and at an arm’s length so your eyes and cleavage are the stars of the show.
Sun lounger
THERE is no better way to sunbathe but ensure you look your best on one. Sitting bolt upright will create rolls on even the slimmest of figures. So recline the head rest. Lie back to flatten your tummy and bend one knee to give tone and shape to legs.
Not only will your whole body be in the sun but you’ll look longer and leaner in a matter of seconds.
