The crime: a cringe-worthy attempt to shake your hips when you hear anything that sounds like salsa music.

The verdict: you are not Shakira.

The sentence: you can’t find the key to dancing like a Colombian, so take a leaf out of their book and dress like one.

Designed by Italian-Colombian sisters Adriana and Claudia Chaparro Pignalosa, new swimwear line Key Leaf doesn’t skimp on sexy South American style. The collection of flattering bikinis and daring cutaway designs is inspired by the pair’s trips to islands from St. Barths to the Hamptons to St. Lucia.

Something to hide? Opt for a silk kaftan in a vibrant print.

After all, the hips don’t lie.
