Summer is in full swing here in the Northern Hemisphere, which means…
It’s time to put on a bikini or swimsuit!
Even if you aren’t ready to hit the beach en femme, a bathing suit should be part of every girl’s wardrobe. Wear one for sunbathing, lounging by the pool, or posing in a beach babe photoshoot.
But how can you look your best when there’s so little left to the imagination?
This post contains my top trans / crossdressing bikini and swimsuit tips for looking sexy and feminine in swimwear. Read on to learn more!
1. Enhance Your Hips and Bust
To maximize the look of female curves, try these tips:
- Go for ruffles and ruching. These style details are great for adding volume where you might lack curves.
- Wear a padded bikini top. Fortunately, many bikinis and swimsuits come with built-in padding for added oomph.
- Try a skirted bikini bottom. A skirt that flares out at the hips is an easy way to add inches. It’s also great for covering areas you may not feel comfortable displaying.

2. Downplay Your Shoulders
Balanced proportions are the key to a sexy figure. By minimizing your shoulders, you can achieve a more feminine balance between your upper and lower body.
Here are some tricks for making broad shoulders appear more delicate:
- Avoid string bikinis unless you are truly tiny. Instead, select a bikini top with wide straps to balance the proportion of your shoulders.
- Try a halter top. Halter tops draw the eye in, creating a slimming effect. They’re also great for showing off cleavage.
- Avoid bandeau tops. Bandeau tops create a strong horizontal line across the chest, making your upper body look even wider.

3. Slim Your Middle
Here are 3 strategies to help create the illusion of an hourglass shape:
- Wear a shaping swimsuit. There are a lot of swimsuits (like MiracleSuit) with built-in control panels to hold in and slenderize your torso.
- Look for suits with side panels in a contrasting color. A color blocked swimsuit is a great trick for slimming your torso. The eye is drawn towards the middle of your body and the sides are minimized, creating the look of a slimmer torso.
- Wear a monokini. A monokini is a sexy swimwear style that has cutout sides. It’s less revealing than a bikini and the cutout side panels create the visual illusion of an hourglass figure.

4. Smooth Your Silhouette
It’s not just about shape and size, but about creating a sleek and smooth silhouette, too. Keep these tips in mind:
- Make sure your swimsuit fits well. A suit that is too small will dig in and create unattractive bulges and belly rolls. A suit that is too big will droop.
- Master the art of the “tuck.” Bikini bottoms leave nothing to the imagination, so you’ll want to ensure a smooth look. There are lots of forums and websites that can give pointers on how to do this comfortably. (Or take my first tip and wear a skirted bikini bottom.)
5. Pose Pretty
Posture is always important, but it’s especially crucial when your entire body is on full display.
You should always be aware of the way you hold your body when you’re in a bikini. Think about your posture whether you’re sitting around a pool chatting with friends or posing for the camera.
Keep your tummy in and avoid slouching at all times. The more long and lifted your posture, the slimmer you will appear.

My bikini days have passed.
However, I have found a couple of nice 1 piece suits that I enjoy. This is one of my favorites!
Don’t worry, Jeanette : those black eyes from surgery will pass in time…!
I had a girl friend go through the same process (did you just have cosmetic surgery, or the full SRS…?)
The blue swim dress suuts you well – you are a real woman !
Before my back injury I was in the gym more and could wear a 2 piece. This picture was in 2020, hence the mask. Now that I’m 50 and not in the gym as much I find a nice 1 piece is just as sexy.
love wearing baby dolls
Hi Tiffany. You look so adorable in that outfit love. I think I would look better in that and what I have now. Where’d you get it at. Can you email me back where are you got it at. Gentleheart@yahoo.com. that is such an exciting outfit and it would hide some of my unwanted curves around my waist. Love you baby girl for your help
You look simply adorable in this peplum dress, so feminine : always the belle of the ball…!
Those clothes look really pretty on you. I would love to wear similar things but not sure I would get away with the straight top.
My head didn’t make it into some pictures that my wife took of me…Do you know my wife?
No. There is no one superior except the Lord Jesus Christ. We “share the pants”, as with everything else.
Tell us more about your wife, Morgan : does she “wear the pants” in your marriage ? We do need lots of guidance in our journey, from the superior sex, no…?

Looking forward to Paradise in Atlanta, October this year!
I wish I had one of those beautiful model type bodies but alas too many years and too many cheeseburgers gave me the body I have. I do tend to pass well as a “corn-fed” woman. The attached photo is from a hotel pool near Guadalajara where two girlfriends and I recovered from cosmetic surgery. The sunglasses hide two black eyes.
