How to wear the right beach attire for your body type – Tall (No. 2039, 2040, 2041)

IF YOU ARE TALL…

Shorten your torso with pieces that cover a larger surface area—we’re looking at you, bustier-style tops! This set has our vote ($58 for top and $38 for bottom; anthropologie.com). Try your hand at mixed prints with this lengthy boldly striped Lemlem ($245; lemlem.com) cover-up.

If bustier styles aren’t your thing, then try high-waisted bottoms to shorten your long torso (Giejo, $125 for top and $98 for bottom; shopgiejo.com). Counter a black-and-white color palette with a traffic-stopping red maxi cover-up (Madewell, $138; madewell.com).

Seek out designs that offer customizable adjustments. This one-piece ($249; violet-lake.com) features drawstrings along each side that can be scrunched to accommodate body length and leg height. Genius! Team it with this gauzy waist-cinching midi-length dress (Free People $168; shopbop.com).
