Apple-Shaped Body? Tankini + High-Waisted Bottoms Is the Way to Go!
When your shoulders and chest are wider than your hips, you are a candidate for an apple-shaped body. An apple-shaped body also carries weight more in the top half of your body, including your waist. While accentuating the neckline and the legs, a bathing suit for an apple-shaped body should also have a shirred waistline.
A swimsuit with a plunging neckline will draw attention to an apple-shaped body’s neckline. Whether you pair a tankini top with a swim skirt or with high-waisted bottoms, the combo will also display all the best parts of an apple-shaped body. The Goth Swimsuit Lace Up Ruched Sun and Moon Tankini Swimsuit Set is a perfect example of a suit tailored for an apple-shaped body.
Do You Have a Pear-Shaped Body? Show Off Those Curves!
Almost the exact opposite to the apple-shaped body, the pear-shaped body features wider hip measurements than shoulder measurements. A pear shape also has narrow shoulders and perhaps a smaller bust. Wider than the shoulders, the hips and thighs make for a curvy lower body. A swimsuit for a pear-shaped body should enhance the bust while accentuating the waistline and torso, conspiring to highlight the lower body curves.
Pear-shaped bodies shouldn’t hide the lower body curves but instead show off those curves. High-waisted bikini bottoms can do the trick paired with an underwire support bikini top. Or a pear-shaped body can flatter their shape with a one piece like the Gothic Bathing Suit Tag Me Later Mesh Spliced Swimsuit, which will highlight the waistline and figure.
How About an Athletic-Shaped Body? Accentuate Those Shoulders!
With shoulders and hips portraying equal or similar measurements to the waist, an athletic-shaped body will feature a less curvy body, a more straight body line. With muscular shoulders and muscular arms, an athletic-shaped body flaunts a toned waist with no curves and a bust sized from small to medium-sized.
Bathing suits with thick bands on top will enhance an athletic-shaped body’s shoulders. With bold details on the waist, a bathing suit for an athletic body shape should have side details on the bottoms. A suit with a halter top like the Gothic Suit Hidden Yourself Plaid Swimsuit will showcase an athletic-shaped body’s shoulders.
Hourglass-Shaped Bodies Show Off Those Legs!
With your shoulders equally measured to your hips coupled with a well-defined waistline , you possess the highlight of an hourglass body shape. Featuring a narrow waist and a bust sized medium to large, an hourglass shape does best in underwire bikini tops paired with bottoms that accentuate the legs and hips. Or hourglass-shaped bodies are flattered by one piece swimsuits like the Goth Bathing Suit Believe in Faith Swimsuit.
