Finding the perfect swimsuit can feel like a daunting task. But at Aquabelle, we believe that the right swimwear isn’t about changing your body—it’s about celebrating it! The secret to beach-ready confidence is understanding your body shape and choosing styles that highlight your favorite features.
Here’s our simple guide to finding your perfect match:
1. For the Pear Shape (Smaller on top, fuller at the hips & thighs)
-
Goal: Balance your silhouette by drawing the eye upward.
-
Your Perfect Swimsuit:
-
Tops: Look for details like ruffles, bold patterns, or a halter neckline. Underwire or padded tops add volume.
-
Bottoms: Opt for darker, solid colors and simpler designs like high-cut legs to elongate and streamline.
-
One-Piece Magic: A one-piece with a bright or patterned top and a dark bottom is a game-changer!
-
2. For the Apple Shape (Carries weight around the midsection)
-
Goal: Create definition and elongate the torso.
-
Your Perfect Swimsuit:
-
Tops & One-Pieces: Look for V-necks or scoop necks. Tummy control panels and ruching are your best friends, as they beautifully conceal and flatter.
-
Bottoms: Brazilian or high-waisted bottoms provide comfortable support and a smooth silhouette.
-
The Power of a Tankini: A longer-line tankini offers the comfort of a two-piece with the coverage of a one-piece.
-
3. For the Hourglass Shape (Balanced bust and hips with a defined waist)
-
Goal: Accentuate that beautiful waistline!
-
Your Perfect Swimsuit:
-
Your Best Fit: Almost any style works, but those that cinch at the waist are most flattering.
-
One-Piece: Belted one-pieces or styles with side cut-outs.
-
Two-Piece: A classic string bikini or any high-waisted bottom with a matching top will showcase your proportions.
-
4. For the Athletic Shape (Straight up and down with minimal curves)
-
Goal: Create the illusion of curves and softness.
-
Your Perfect Swimsuit:
-
Tops: Bandeaus, triangle tops with tie-fronts, and tops with ruffles, fringe, or bold patterns add volume.
-
Bottoms: Side-tie bottoms or styles with details like ruffles can add fullness to the hips.
-
One-Piece: Look for one-pieces with color-blocking or strategic cut-outs to define the waist.
-
Remember: The most important rule is to wear what makes you feel fantastic. Use this guide as a starting point, but always follow your own sense of style and comfort.
