With summer being in full swing and beach season approaching rapidly, it’s almost time that we prep our body and our wardrobe too for all the swimming and sunbathing we are planning to do. One very important addition to this summer wardrobe is bikinis! We know all about your struggles to find the perfect swimsuit that is both comfortable to you and flatters your body type. From curvier frames to athletic bodies, we have rounded up endless swimwear options and some tricks and tips as per different body types to help find a fit that flatters your frame the most.
1.Pear Shape Body
If you are curvy on the hips and thighs and smaller on the top, the key for you to find the perfect bikini is to balance your proportions and get the coverage your want on your bottom half. Opt for clear skirted bottoms that fall below the hips. Bikinis with a plunging neckline or an eye-catching top will help draw attention to your upper body.
- For Small Busts
If you are proportionally smaller on the top with an A or B cup, styles with more minimal coverage or embellished styles like bows or patterns can help create an illusion of a larger chest. Triangle top bikinis in bold prints or embellishments like ruffles, etc. make for the best bet for your body. Another great option is bra tops or padded push-up tops that can offer extra lift and create cleavage. With smaller busts is means you can always go for bandeaus and tiny scoop tops – so embrace them!
- For Large Busts
With ample cleavage and large busts, what you need is a swimsuit that supports you well and as well flatters your body. Opt for swimsuits with underwire or moulded cups, to give the girls the support that they need. Avoid any tops with ruffles or embellishments if you hoping to minimize the attention on your upper body. Bra-style bikinis with adjustable and thicker straps make for a good fit to give you the needed support. Explore bikinis with sizing like your regular bras, including styles that go above D cup, as they are specifically constructed to support larger busts.
- For Curvy Body
If you are curvy throughout with full busts, hips and thighs, the key to find the right swimwear is to highlight your curves while providing equal support and coverage at the same time. If you aren’t keen on exaggerating your curves, we advise you to steer clear of monokinis and string bikinis, which can accentuate the widest areas. Some of the friendly styles for curvy women are the asymmetrical suits that draw this eye toward the neckline, thus highlight a women’s neck to her collarbone. Colour blocking swimsuits is yet another option to help you accentuate your curves. Think retro-inspired suits with high waists, boxy halter tops, etc.
- For Athletic Body
If you are more straight up and down with fewer curves, the game is to play up with your curves and choose styles that flaunt your frame. Bikinis and swimsuits with less coverage can help create an illusion of a shapelier figure. Top and bottoms, both with bold prints, ruffles or embellishments can help add a feminine flair and create an appearance of a curvier bottom and top. Monokinis or one-pieces with strategically placed cut-outs make for fabulous options to accentuate your curves.
