It's good to know what suits your body shape
Your body shape plays a big role in choosing swimwear. Here are some tips on how to choose the best design for you.
What size swimsuit?
Start by measuring your bust, waist and hips. A swimsuit should fit snugly but not tight. The material should feel comfortable against your skin and provide good support in areas that need it.
Is your lower body narrower than your upper body?
If you have a wider upper body, swimsuits with wide straps or halternecks can be a good choice. They help create balance between your shoulders and hips.
Do you have a slender body?
If you want to add a little volume, swimsuits with ruffles, patterns or bright colors can be perfect. Push-up or padded designs can also highlight the bust.
You have a round stomach and soft curves?
Choose a swimsuit with built-in shapewear to provide support and create a smoother silhouette. V-necks draw attention upwards and highlight the bust.
A narrow waist, broad shoulders and even wider hips?
Highlight your waist with swimsuits that have high leg cuts that also help to lengthen your legs.
Is your body approximately the same width from shoulders to hips?
Try swimsuits with details like princess lines that create the illusion of a more defined waist.
Do you have narrow shoulders and waist, but full hips and thighs?
Focus on the upper body with bright colors, patterns or bandeau tops. A dark, solid-colored bottom with a high leg cut can create balance and elongate the legs.
