Swimwear Guide: Types Of Bikinis And Swimsuits For All Body Types

Small Chest:

The best tip we can give a girl with a smaller chest is to go for a bikini top or swimsuit that has some embellishments or ruffles around that area to create an illusion of a larger chest. You can wear tops with bold prints as well as halter neck options. Bra tops that have an added padding can give you something extra and can create cleavage. Whenever you buy a bikini make sure the padding quality is good because there are many types of bikinis that come with bad quality padding and after one wash they start to wrinkle. For girls with a smaller chest this will stand out a lot more and look very bad! 

Huge Chest:

One thing you must check before buying your swimwear if you have big boobs is that it should have an underwire to give you all the support you need in order to keep them in place. Wide straps will also help you more rather than thin stringy straps because it gives you that extra support. Support is key for this body type so focus on that and avoid embellishments and ruffles up top. Halter neck styles can also be a good option to opt for as it acts as a push up bra and provides a lot of support. 

Broad Shoulders:

We have two tips for women with broad shoulders, one wear a solid colored suit with printed panels along the side. This will create some curves in your body and draw attention to the centre of your body rather than just the shoulders. Two try an asymmetrical neckline this will also take away the attention of someone looking straight across.

Flat Booty:

Just like a small chest where you have to add some texture the same rule applies to girls with a flat booty. Frills, bright colors and loud prints for the bottom will give the illusion of a bigger booty. A style where you show off your butt cheeks will also work for girls with a flat butt. 

Big Booty:

We wouldn’t advise girls to wear string bikinis and high-cut swimsuits if they have a big butt as they can end up being very uncomfortable and it would be a little too revealing. Obviously this is a personal choice to make if revealing is what you are looking for then go for it. If it is comfort then you should stick to bottoms with enough fabric that covers the entire area and perhaps go for a solid bottom and printed top to balance out your body. 

Athletic Body:

If you have an athletic (straight) body then you don’t really have much to worry about, you must have worked hard for it so show if off! Some of you might want your swimwear to give you the illusion of more curves as you body shape is pretty narrow. This body type is relatively easy as you can pretty much wear anything, if you want to enhance your athletic figure as it is then wear boy-cut briefs, shapeless full-pieces or straight-across bandeaus. If you are looking for curves then go for a swimsuit with padding, gathering, cut-outs, shirring and bold prints. Monokinis would be our best advice for this body type.

Back Fat:

Don’t you hate the impressions of thin straps that dig into your skin? To avoid that stick to the types of bikinis and swimsuits that have thicker straps and high backs to cover the fat around that area. You can go for the types of bikinis and swimsuits that have a sporty look as usually the top part will have a lot of coverage all around. 

Short Legs:

If your a woman with short legs and want to give an illusion of longer ones then put on a swimsuit with high cuts in the leg. This high cut in your swimwear will help to elongate your legs and they look very sexy. Kim Kardashian is famous for wearing these types of bikinis! 

Full Hips & Thighs:

This is one of the most common body types amongst women and our advice for them would be to always go for a bottom that has more coverage. You can even go for a feminine style of wearing a bottom with a skirt that will definitely keep you comfortable. Also try and put all the focus on your upper body with bold patterns, bright colors on the top and a plunging neckline. Avoid: boy shorts!

A Tummy Pouch:

Women that have a tummy always complain the most when it comes to swimwear, but hiding it is actually not that difficult. You have an option to wear a peplum style swimwear, a full-piece swimsuit with shirring, a wrap around style that cuts the waist, a plunging neckline or a high-waisted suit. Don’t be shy to wear a bikini, there are plenty of different types of bikinis that come in so many cuts that will definitely make you feel confident with your own figure.
