Find a Bikini to Flatter Your Shape

Athletic figure - Choose bikini tops with ruffles, prints or a halter neck, which will accentuate your bust. For an even bigger boost, go for gel-filled or underwired padded tops, which creat instant cleavage. Hipster boy shorts or tie sides which will show your slim waist and create a curvier silhouette. Avoid tankinis as they will give you a solid outline with no definition.

Apple Shape - Wear printed or detailed bikini bottoms to draw attention to your lower half - mix and match separates are great for your shape; medium to high cut bottoms to elongate legs; simple, solid coloured bikini tops that aren’t too revealing. Square necks with wide straps are best for added support.

Pear shape - Wear a bikini with a bold design on the top half and a block colour on the bottom. This draws eyes away from your bottom and hips, giving you a slimmer appearance. Go for bikini bottoms cut high on the hips to lengthen your legs.  Avoid side strings or bikini detailing that draws attention to your lower half. Avoid boy short styles, which will only make your frame look stocky.

Hourglass shape - Look for bikinis or one pieces that flaunt your curves. Block colours, bright patterns and details such as embellishment will look great on you. If you have a large bust opt for a top with lots of support.
