Equally popular in Palm Beach, Palm Springs and East Hampton, Lilly Pulitzer's bright, sunny, whimsical patterns have a fan base that spans generations. In addition to swimwear, Lilly Pulitzer also designs dresses, tote bags, flip flops, polos and shorts. From bikinis, to one pieces, her clever designs are placed on a variety of styles with looks certain to flatter every body type and skin tone. It's important to figure out what style of swimsuit best flatters your figure before making your purchase.

The best Lilly Pulitzer bathing suits are really the best ones for you. Women thick in the waist but with nice shoulders might want to consider a halter-top bikini or one-piece, as these styles tend to be the most flattering for women with thicker waists. Slim women with narrow hips and a small bust line can enjoy bikinis in a variety of styles, from the strapless bandeau to the halter to the monokini. It's always best to get a sense of exactly what about your figure you are most excited to display, and then select that suit which best shows off this particular attribute.

In addition to cut, color is important when selecting the best Lilly Pulitzer bathing suits. Tan girls can enjoy a variety of colors in their swimsuit but should avoid lime green which can make brown or olive skin look sallow. Fair girls on the other hand would do well to stick with jewel tones, navy blue, red or the deep pink that is Lilly's trademark. Stores like Amazon.com, Bloomingdale's and Saks carry some of the best Lilly Pulitzer swimsuits, so do some online research before you buy.
