It’s not news to anyone: women have different body shapes and sizes, as well as hair and skin colour. Once you’ve decided which part of your body you want to highlight, it’s easy to choose swimwear which is the right colour and shape.
We have some top tips to help you choose the swimsuit of your dreams to suit you, whether it is a bikini, a one-piece swimsuit, a two-piece Brazilian-style bikini, or a printed or plain design.
1. Firstly you should determine your body shape. There are 5 main body types, these are, rectangle, inverted triangle, hourglass, pear and apple. As we know Some women have a tiny waist, others have a full bust or wide hips. But the good news is there’s a style to suit every body type.
Apple body shape, draws attention to your bust. If you have generous hips with a slim waist and relatively narrow shoulders, try experimenting with your sensual side. Opt for a push-up style or bandeau bikini top to accentuate your bust. On the bottom, try a high-cut tanga design to lengthen your legs and, most importantly, avoid bikini bottoms that cover up too much as they will flatten your stunning figure.
Rectangle body shape, you want to accentuate your hips. Slim women with shoulders and hips of the same width should emphasise their hips with bikini bottoms embellished with knots. High-waisted bikini bottoms will also highlight your waist beautifully. When choosing a bikini top, try a push-up or triangle design for perfectly coordinated beachwear and to
give you more shape.
Inverted-triangle shape, make the most of your legs If you have square shoulders and narrow hips, it's a good idea to draw focus to your lower body. For starters, you may want to treat yourself to a one-piece swimsuit with a plunging neckline or halterneck to minimise the width of your shoulders. Otherwise, opt for a push-up bikini top and low-waisted bottoms in a stripy print to accentuate your hips. Above all, avoid bra tops with wide square straps which will make your shoulders appear wider.
Hourglass shape, accentuate your slim waist Women with an X-shaped body have a beautiful slim waist, rounded hips and a well-proportioned bust. To show off your perfectly-balanced figure, opt for an asymmetrical one-pieceswimsuit, in a soft fabric, to subtly enhance your curves. If you prefer a bikini, mix a triangle top with high-cut tanga-style bottoms
As you can see, choosing swimwear is not something to be taken lightly! Now you know how to best show off your figure and you're ready to go break some hearts. You’re all set to be the most beautiful mermaid by the pool or on the beach this summer.
