Forget the rules that hold you back! Every body is unique, and every swimsuit can be your style ally. Discover the cuts and details that highlight your best features, flatter your silhouette, and bring a fresh wave of confidence.

Body Type: Apple

If most of your curves are around the midsection, you have an apple-shaped figure. The key is to draw attention to the neckline, shoulders or legs. Go for one-piece swimsuits with shaping effects, deep V-necklines or draping – these elongate and balance your silhouette beautifully. Don’t overlook monokinis or high-waisted bikini bottoms either – they work wonders for defining the waistline without hiding your shape.

Body Type: Triangle

If your hips are wider than your shoulders, you have a triangle-shaped figure. The trick? Draw the eye upward! Opt for swimwear with eye-catching details, ruffles, prints or bold colors on the top half. Pair it with simple, darker bottoms to balance the silhouette. Push-up tops, asymmetrical cuts, bows, and frills are all great allies for adding volume where you want it most.

Body Type: Inverted triangle

If your shoulders are broader than your hips, you have an inverted triangle figure. The goal? Balance your silhouette by adding volume to the lower half. Choose bottoms with high cuts, ruffles, prints, or bold colors. Keep the top sleek and simple – think solid colors, V-necklines, or halternecks that visually slim and elongate the shoulders.

Body Type: Hourglass

If you have a defined waist with balanced hips and shoulders, you’re proudly rocking an hourglass figure. Your goal? Highlight that perfect symmetry! Choose swimwear that hugs your curves and emphasizes your waist – think one-pieces with waist accents, plunging cuts, or high-waisted bikinis. Styles with rings, straps, or subtle details that celebrate your femininity without extra fuss will suit you perfectly.

Body Type: Rectangle

If your shoulders, waist, and hips are roughly the same width, you have a rectangle-shaped figure. The goal is to create curves and define your waist. Opt for swimsuits with volume-enhancing details, ruffles, or belts around the waist to shape your silhouette. One-pieces with cutouts or two-pieces with straps and patterns are great choices to add femininity and softness to your lines.


A few tips to help you choose the perfect swimsuit::

1. Know your body shape
The first step to finding the perfect swimsuit is understanding your body shape. Is your figure an apple, hourglass, triangle, or rectangle? This will help you pick styles that highlight your best features.

2. Play with cuts and details
Don’t be afraid to experiment with different cuts—one-piece swimsuits, bikinis, tankinis, or monokinis. Details like draping, ruffles, cutouts, or belts can visually reshape your silhouette.

3. Colors and patterns matter
Darker colors create a slimming effect, while lighter and vibrant patterns draw attention to the areas you want to emphasize. The key is to feel confident in the swimsuit you choose.

4. Support and comfort
Don’t forget functionality—choose swimsuits that provide good support, especially if you need extra bust support or want comfort during beach activities.

5. Fit and adjustability
The right swimsuit should adapt to your body, not the other way around. If possible, try several sizes and styles until you find the one that fits you perfectly.
