A Guide to Choosing the Ideal Swimwear for Your Body Type
Tips and advice on how to wear swimwear for different body types
Here are a few different body types and some tips to help you find the right swimwear for you:
For example:
Hourglass figure-Appropriate swimwear
Firstly characteristics: Shoulders and hips of similar width, slim waist.
Suggestion: Bikinis that emphasise the waistline will fit perfectly.
Patterns and colours: Bold patterns and bright colours will show off your figure well.
Pear-shaped figure-Appropriate swimwear
Characteristics: Wide waist, full breasts and slim limbs.
Tip:Choose a swimming costume with abdominal support or tummy tuck design to provide better coverage and support. A deep V-neck design elongates the upper body and accentuates the bust.
Apple-shaped figure-Appropriate swimwear
Rectangular figure
Characteristics: shoulders, waist and hips are similar in width with fewer curves.
Tip: pick swimming costumes with padded bras or ruffled designs to add curves to the upper body.
- Waist details like straps, ruffles, or belts add definition and curves to swimsuits.
