What kind of swimwear to buy to look slimmer?

The swimsuit hunt is on and we have a real gold mine for you. We have selected some of the best swimwear according to your body type. Although we have collected four of the most common figures, this is by no means an exhaustive list. Women's bodies are diverse, and it would be inappropriate to completely 'compartmentalize' them. The tips should only be a starting point. You may find yourself, you may be a combination of several types, but you certainly know which parts of your body you would like to highlight and which to hide. So, what kind of swimwear should you choose based on your body type? Here's a swimsuit that will make you look slimmer.

What swimwear to buy to make us visually slimmer:

Hourglass

Women with an hourglass figure have an equal bust-to-hip ratio and a narrow waist. Look for swimwear that provides adequate breast support and where nothing 'sticks out'. Bikini swimwear is a good starting point, as it emphasizes your narrowest part - the waist. High-waisted bikinis define the waist perfectly, ending (or starting) at the narrowest part of the torso. Your job is to create the most proportional look possible.

Pear

Pear-shaped girls have wider hips and narrower shoulders and breasts. By creating additional volume around the chest, you will somewhat equalize the ratio with the hips. Smaller bust sizes at the same time mean that you can allow yourself more – the top can be as strapless, with a deep neckline, one shoulder... Among other things, these styles emphasize the long neck, and the eyes stop above the hips. The darker bottom part of the swimsuit reduces the appearance of the hips, while the contrasting colors create an optically slimmer figure.

An apple

Women with an apple figure have hips as wide as their shoulders, a waist that is not defined, and breasts that are smaller. To accentuate your curves, perhaps opt for a one-piece swimsuit that will further define your bust and hips. One-piece swimsuits with side cutouts can define the waist. Contrasting colors can also create a slimmer line.

Inverted triangle

Girls with this figure usually have broad shoulders and narrower hips. They can also have larger breasts, but the body type is defined more by the width of the shoulders than by the size of the breasts. Your goal is to give your upper body enough support to accentuate your collarbone and neckline. One way is to tie a bikini at the back of the neck. If you need extra support, look for swimwear with padded underwire bras with thicker, firm straps.
