Finding the Perfect Swimsuit for Your Body Shape

Choosing the right swimsuit can boost your confidence and comfort, no matter your body shape. Here, we explore four common body shapes and the swimwear styles that flatter each one the most.

A-Shape

If your upper body is narrower than your hips and thighs, you have an A-shape, also known as a triangle or pear shape.

Swimwear Tips:

• Opt for bright colors and eye-catching patterns on the top to draw attention to your upper body.
• For bikinis, choose subtle, single-color designs for the bottom.

O-Shape

If your waist and chest are fuller and your legs are slim, you have an O-shape, or apple body type.

Swimwear Tips:

• Choose one-piece swimsuits to elongate your upper body.
• Look for designs with vertical stripes, dark colors, or side draping.
• Consider a tankini for additional comfort.
• If you prefer full bra cup coverage, opt for wide straps or halter neck styles.
• For tummy control, try swimsuits with shaping panels or tie a sarong around your hips.

V-Shape

With wide shoulders, a full bust, narrow hips and waist, and slender legs, you have a V-shape or inverted triangle body type.

Swimwear Tips:

• Accentuate your hips with bold colors, patterns, or ruffles to balance your shoulders.
• Bikini bottoms tied at the sides can enhance your look.
