Outfit and fashion ideas
We have shared many types of swimsuits, from sporty wetsuits to sexy leather suits, and today I want to tell you how to choose a perfect swimsuit for your body shape. Interested? Continue reading!
Pear shape
They’re curvy at the hips and thighs and smaller at the top, like Beyoncé or Jennifer Lopez. You need to balance your proportions and get the coverage you need for your lower half. A deep neckline or a striking top pull the eye upwards and minimize the underside.
Big bust
Since you’re chubby, you need more support upstairs like Katy Perry and Sofia Vergara. Go for underwire or molded cup suits for the support you need. Avoid ruffles or embellishments at the top if you want to minimize focus on your chest. Bra-style tops with underwire and adjustable straps provide extra support for the chest. Higher backs are also great for keeping the girls busy. Shaped cups provide additional support and are available in many different designs.
Small bust
You’re proportionally smaller with an A or B cup like Kate Hudson on top. They don’t need a lot of support, so you can look for styles with minimal coverage or ornate details, bows and patterns to create the illusion of a bigger bust. Triangle tops create the illusion of curves, as do tops with bold prints or ruffles. Bra tops and padded push-up tops provide extra buoyancy and, like certain halter neck tops, can create a split. A smaller bust always means you can wear tiny scoop tops or bandeaus – hug them!
Sporty shape
They’re straighter up and down and have fewer curves like Cameron Diaz, Jessica Biel, and Jennifer Aniston. Play your curves with styles that flaunt your frame. Suits with less coverage help create the illusion of a more shapely figure. Tops or bottoms with bold prints, ruffles, and embellishments add intrigue and feminine flair, and can add more curves up and down. Monokinis create fabulous curves, as do one-pieces with slashes or strategically placed cutouts. Bikini panties with a tie side improve the curves and adapt perfectly to your size.
Apple shape
You’re built a bit more like an apple shape and mostly carry your weight in your center. Try high waisted styles or tankini to flatten your middle. The gathered fabric hides bulges and creates definition at the waist. A figure-flattering silhouette with an overlap wraps the waist with its crossover fabric. If your weight is in the lower part of your stomach, try on a retro-inspired high-waisted suit. They’re trending right now and looking fabulous!
Curvy shapes
They’re consistently curvy with full chests, hips, thighs, and butts like Christina Hendricks, Scarlett Johansson, and Kim Kardashian. With curvy frames, it’s important to highlight the curves while providing adequate support and coverage. If you don’t want to overdo your curves, monokinis or string bikinis with thicker ties can accentuate your widest areas. Asymmetrical suits draw attention to the neckline, highlighting the beautiful line from a woman’s neck to her collarbone. Color blocking can help highlight your shape, as can retro suits.
Oversized shape
Basically, if you’re oversized you can try anything, but if you need an idea of your shape your swimsuit needs to be sexy but practical: sturdy straps, a good bra, and protection for the back. Opt for one-piece swimsuits that mask your thighs – an ideal option.
