With the season in full swing, the 31-year-old shared her tips for looking classy and elegant while in beachwear.
Posting a video to , she said: “We more or less look the same as there’s not much we can wear because it’s hot and we want to get a tan.”
But despite the limited styles available when dressed for the sun, she advised against certain items, which can make women look "cheap".
Anna, originally from Sweden, said women need to dress for their body type.

She said: “The first thing you need to think about is, are you going to wear a swimsuit or a bikini.
“Swimsuits tend to look a little more elegant than bikinis.
“Definitely a must is to have a bikini which is suitable for your body shape and for your bust size.
“If your bust size is large you cannot get away with having a triangle style bikini, it’s not really going to give you any support.
";And it’s not going to make your chest look flattering.”
She said all women with larger chests need to wear swimwear with some support “so it doesn’t look like something is just dangling around”.
Anna added “everything looking where it should be” is the key to achieving a classy look.

She advised any women who “have a little stomach” to wear a swimsuit, rather than a bikini.
Cover-ups are permitted, said Anna, who now lives in London, but stressed there are certain styles to avoid.
She said: “I think the mainstream tunic is a little boring”, adding “the only problem with the tunics in my opinion is that regardless of your body shape this is a garment which will make you look bulky.
“One thing I really want you to avoid is these jersey-like cotton-like casual clothes."
She said T-shirts or mini shorts in these fabrics will “make you look extremely cheap on the beach”.
Anna's tips for looking classy at the beach or pool
- No flip flops
- No T-shirt style cover-ups
- No material bags
- No triangle bikinis
- No baseball caps
- Wear swimsuits
- Wear hats
Shoes were another important element of the beach outfit – and sadly flip-flops are out.
Anna said: “Usually the standard girl would wear her flip flops, but they’re not really going to make you look expensive and elegant.
“I really do not understand those who are walking in flip-flops, like around town, to run errands and so on.
“Regardless of if you're in a hot country, it’s against dress etiquette to wear them around town.”
But she did admit that in her younger years she would wear them, before realising they were “not appropriate”.

Hats were an all-important accessory when being in the sun, to keep your face and scalp from burning.
But don’t just throw on any old thing, as Anna said pieces like your sunglasses and hats can be those finer details which can really transform your beach look.
She said: “If you’re going to wear a hat, don’t go for some boring baseball cap. That’s not going to elevate your look.
“Go for something a bit more glamorous.”
Another holiday must-have is a bag, but don’t just grab any old carrier bag and take it down to a pool.

Anna said that while a high-street bag was acceptable, she warned it was the fabric used which could make you look cheap.
She said: “Perhaps the accessory which makes a very big impact is the beach bag.
“There are many beautiful straw bags; you can even get a very affordable high street bag that are perfect for the beach.
“But as long as they’re not in some textile.
“Do not go to Zara or another brand and get a textile brand. That is just not going to look expensive.”
