In a previous article we looked at ways to determine your shape, read it here to see which swim styles best suits your body type.
Depending on your shape you would want to choose the right cut/style that will accentuate/eliminate your best/worst features.
- One-piece styles will hide your heavy waist especially if you choose one that is layered or has gathered panels over the stomach, stick to dark or solid colours.
- An antique style that is high-waisted or belted can also help to hide your waist.
- A tankini will highlight your waist as it draws the eye to the section of skin that’s showing. If you are hiding your hips or bust, choose this style!
- Boyshorts make your hips look wider regardless of colour! If you have large bust and want the hips to match for a classic hourglass shape, choose boyshorts.
- High-cut bikini (French cut) bottoms make your legs look longer. If you are short or have a long torso, this is a good selection!
- Halter/ triangle tops draw attention to the bust. Great for taking the attention off your less attractive features.
- Tie-front bikini tops draw the eyes to the bust, as well as pull the breasts together, (making them look larger). If you have small breasts and want them to look larger, this might be a good fit.
- Bandeau tops make the bust seem wider. If you are pear shaped and want to imitate an hourglass shape, choose a bandeau top with ruffles or any detail.
- If your breasts are large choose a straight cut at the top of your swimsuit with wide straps to support the breasts. For bikini tops choose those with underwire or a wide band at the base for extra support.
