What is your body type?

 

Everyone's body is unique and when choosing a swimsuit, you need to choose the bikini that suits you best - not the model wearing it in a catalog. So let's start by determining which of the five body types below best fits your description.

 

Apple

Pear

Athletic

Dripping

Rectangular

 

Remember, your body type is not about weight - you can have a pear, hourglass or athletic body shape at any weight. Another thing to remember is that everyone's body is unique and you may feel that your body doesn't fit into any of these types - or more than one!

How do you pick a bikini for an apple shape?

 

The apple shape describes a woman's body that tends to be top-heavy: wider at the bust and waist, sometimes wider at the shoulders, in proportion to the hips.

Use bottom and side ties with patterns to accentuate the curve of the hips.

Low necklines and backless tops help make wide shoulders and thick torsos look slimmer.

Undershirt tops paired with high-waisted bottoms can slim and flatter your figure.

How to choose a bikini for a pear shape?

 

The pear or "triangle" shape is used to describe the body of a woman with wider hips, a smaller bust and narrower shoulders. To balance it out, your goal is to take the attention away from the hips.

Choose tops with eye-catching patterns, sophisticated styles, padded cups and low necklines to accentuate the natural curves of your bust.

For the bottom, stick with flattering solids and darker shades.

High-cut pants help thighs look slimmer and longer.

 

 

How to choose the right bikini for an athletic body type?

 

Also known as the "inverted triangle," athletic shapes tend to combine wide shoulders with a straight bust, waist and hips. 

Combine simple, plain tops with fancy bottoms to balance the shoulders and hips

Low necklines and padded cups minimize wide shoulders while enhancing smaller breasts

Bottoms with eye-catching patterns and shapes will draw attention to long legs and add definition to the hips.

 

 

How to choose a bikini for an hourglass figure?

 

An hourglass figure is a well known term that denotes an evenly proportioned chest and hips with a defined waist. Even if you are slim, you can still be an hourglass.

High-waisted types of Bikini swim trunks will appeal to your slimmer waist - and cover up your tummy.

Stick to matching suits, as this will keep your body in proportion.

 

 

How to choose a bikini for a rectangular body shape?

 

Rectangular body shapes have a straight silhouette with minimal variation between waist, hip and bust sizes. All bikinis add curves to the bust and hips, so a rectangular body shape fits all types of bikinis!

Slender rectangular bodies are perfect for slim triangle tops and side lace-up bottoms.

One-piece swimsuits with cut-out sides can bring the illusion of an hourglass shape to even the straightest rectangle.

Bold patterns and colors, ruffles, frills and ruffles are perfect for adding extra volume to your hips and bust.

 

In addition to knowing what to look for in a Swimsuit for your body type, you'll need to consider where you'll wear it - surfing or poolside? Remember: when it comes to swimwear, confidence is everything. It doesn't matter what your body type is - if you feel good, you'll look good!
