What type of swimsuit to choose according to your body type?

We are determined to help you eliminate some of the fear and frustration that comes with summer and jumping into a swimsuit. Buying a swimsuit? An eternal dilemma and, for many, a chore to be postponed. With the help of experts, we managed to collect the best tips that will help you find out what swimwear to choose according to your body type.

Do you want to discover what to pay attention to when choosing a swimsuit? Read below, what type of swimsuit to choose according to the characteristic shape of your figure. Find your perfect swimwear for this summer and shine.

1. Pear shape

Do you have a figure like Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez or Jennifer Love Hewitt? So you have a bit more around your hips than in your upper body?

Now what? The key to choosing the perfect swimsuit for your figure is to balance your proportions and lower body coverage. Find a swimsuit that will cover your well-padded thighs. Extra fabric on the part you want to mask is distracting.

2. Lush bust

Cleavage. The right one. Do you have breasts the size of Brooklyn Decker, Katy Perry and Sofia Vergara?

Now what? If you are one of those lucky women with a large bust, you need to pay attention to the support. This one is crucial for you. A padded swimsuit top or one with a bone is the right choice for you. Avoid over the top decorations.

3. Small bust

Do you have small breasts like Kate Hudson? Here we mean baskets A and B.

Now what? A smaller bust requires less support. So you can think of styles with minimal coverage or swimsuits full of embellishments. The latter will optically increase your cleavage. We also recommend purchasing extra padded bras.

4. Athletic physique

We're talking about the lineup of Cameron Diaz, Jessica Biel and Jennifer Aniston. Do you recognize yourself in this group of girls?

Now what? In this case, you can treat yourself to swimwear that reveals a little more. Decorations are not a limitation either. The smaller the piece, the better we will emphasize certain parts of the body.

5. Want to hide your tummy?

Is your body apple shaped? That is, you have accumulated quite a bit of plaque in your tummy area.

Now what? If you want to cover your stomach completely, there are quite a few perfect one-piece swimsuit designs. But there are also slightly higher two-piece models or tankini-style ones.

And 4 more golden tips when choosing the best swimwear for your body:

Mandatory:

  • try on a wide variety of swimsuit models. Fashion guidelines change all the time. Swim styles do, so look wider, outside your comfort zone, and you're sure to find your new favorite shape;
  • try a smaller size instead. Swimwear expands when wet. Therefore, we recommend that if you are unsure of the size, try on a smaller number first.

Not even close:

  • don't choose the trendiest swimsuit shape if it doesn't fit you. A good, perfect style depends solely on your radiance. It is important to find a model in which you will feel good and which will emphasize your figure and curves;
  • don't buy a size bigger than you actually need. Because it won't cover what you want to hide. If you already want to hide a certain part of your body, do it by finding a swimsuit model that will cover that part.
