The Ultimate Bikini Guide

Are you apple shaped? Pear shaped? Or banana? Whatever your body type, there’s a flattering bikini for every woman.

Every woman has her own personal problem areas, but the right choice of swimwear will make them disappear. First of all you’ll have to find out what’s your body type. And then you simply emphasize your best body parts!

As a rough guide one could say that flashy colors and (big) patterns will emphasize your assets, whereas dark and mono-colored fabrics will let your less favored body parts submerge visually.

Apple

When the center of your body is rather round and you have a big bust, but little waist as well as narrow shoulders and hips, then you are the apple type.

In your case the swimwear shall distract from the center of your body. That’s why you’ll look best wearing tank tops or tankinis. A bathing suit with a deep cleavage emphazising your bust will also look great on you. Skirtinis (bottoms with attached skirts) and pareos, bound around your hips, will also distract from the waist.

Stay away from small bikinis, triangle tops and monokinis.

Pear

If you have narrow shoulders, but wide hips and strong thighs, you are the pear type.

You will ideally be wearing a striking top (patterned, flashy colors, ruffles etc.) combined with unpretentious bottoms. The more inconspicuous the bikini bottoms, the better! This means that mono-colored models, dark colors or subtle prints are always a good choice. The bottoms should be model « bikini slip ». It has broader side cuffs that don’t cut into the flesh.

You should be wearing neckholder tops. Bandeau tops are also a good choice because they will make your shoulders appear wider. Same applies for swimsuits and bikini tops with a ringer top back. You can also wear these cute fringe tops that are currently en vougue. They’ll look great on you.

With wider hips you should stay away from bikini bottoms that are being bound on the sides. Don’t wear panties nor thongs or g-strings as they will also emphasize the hip area.

A pareo can do wonders for you. But the cloth should not be worn around the hips but bound around the waist. This prevents that the hips are emphasized too much.

Hourglass

When your shoulders and hips are the same width and you have a small waist, then you are the hourglass type.

Congratulations! You can wear anything.

Woman with an hourglass shape should emphazise their curves. This is best achieved with monokinis, bandeau tops and triangle bikinis to which you can wear cute bottoms bound by the sides. Now if you have a big chest, you should read further though, because then triangle tops may not be the best choice for you.
