Summer is the time to let go of all your insecurities and rock swimsuits of all types, cuts, shapes and colours. Whilst it should be a given that you should wear whatever makes you comfortable and happy, there are some swimsuits that are more flattering than others depending on your body-type.ย 

1- Smaller Chestย

To the A and B cups, count your blessings, because you’ll be able to pull off most top designs. The triangle bikini, for example, is something larger chested ladies won’t be able to wear. You can wear padded bikini tops, swimsuits with a low cut or swimsuits with frills.

2- Larger Chestย o-BIGBUST-570

To my more endowed readers, worry not. You can turn an “inconvenience” and rock the hell out of swimsuits that’ll make heads turn. Avoid string bikinis, and try to look for support in your swimsuit top, with wide adjustable straps and underwire.

3- Straight Figure

You don’t think you’re curvaceous? Don’t worry, with a few swimsuit tweaks, you can look curvy AF. Opt for those cut off swimsuits, and swimsuits that define your waist, or feature a Brazilian bottom to make your booty look more defined.

4- Tummy Issues

It’s okay if you a have a little tummy, and it’s okay if you want to flaunt it. The most flattering two pieceย swimsuit would be high-waisted (also works to hide love handles/muffin tops). If you want a one piece, choose one with folds or drapes. Another great option would be to find a swimsuit that has an extra piece of cloth hung underneath the bust like a curtain.

5- Full Hips and Thighs

Attract more attention to the top part with more colourful options and look for higher cut leg options. Don’t try getting booty shorts. They do cover more, but aren’t more flattering because they make your hips look wider.

6- Back Fat

Thin strappy swimsuits on your back mayย not be the most flattering, if you have back fat that may become more prominent whenย the straps dig into it. Thicker straps and a higher back swimsuit are better options.

7- Short Legs

If you show more legs, they’ll appear longer. Choose swimsuit bottoms that have a high-leg cut, Kylie Jenner style.
