Swimsuits For Every Shape
With summer in full swing, there is plenty of swimsuit time to enjoy. If you’re still struggling with exactly which look works for you, check out these tips to accentuate your best features, and find your swimsuit soul mate.
Pear Shaped
If you’re a bikini girl, try a top with fuller coverage (or ruffles!) to even out your proportions, and a bottom with a foldover waist for a slimming effect. Avoid boy shorts and skirted bottoms.
Boyish
Create the illusion of curves with ruffled or fringed tops and bottoms. Up top, try a padded number, and to accentuate hips, choose a bottom with ties or an embellishment that cinches at the side. Stay away from bandeau tops—it will only flatten what’s there.
Heavy On Top
Choose a suit with plenty of support. Forgo the tiny triangle tops and opt for a top with underwire for added lift or a flattering halter top. Bold patterns on top and bottom also draw the eye away from size to focus on style.
Tummy Tucker
Choose a one-piece with flattering ruching on the sides or all over. Also, a bold print is a good way to draw attention away from your tummy—and the chance to sport a super-trendy style. Avoid bulky looks—they will only make your silhouette look bigger.
