No,Splashing Summer Swimsuits For Your Body Type Articles you don’t have to take a double take. It is possible to find the right
swimsuit for your body type! The first thing you have to remember though
is that there are very few “perfect” bodies out there. Celebrities and
models are far from the norm, and they might even still have problems
finding the best swimsuit! Before heading to the mall, go through this guide
so you have an idea of what style will accentuate your fave body part!

If you’re smaller on top…

Tinier swimsuits really work, especially those ultra-sexy miniature two
pieces from Brazil. Padding can give you an extra lift and make you look a
little fuller on top. Luckily, most suits come with a little bit of padding! Unlike
women with larger breasts, you can actually wear swim suit tops with
ruffles and triangle tops, so make the most of it with a look that is fun and
fashionable! Try Mossimo® Black: Women's Twist Polka Dot Swimwear -
Purple/White.

If you’re bigger on top…

You might need a little extra support, so opt for swimsuit tops with
underwire or halter-tops. Not only will they give you a little more striking
cleavage, but most of these tops are also adjustable. Make them as tight
or loose as you need. Although you don’t need maximum coverage,
minimum coverage should be avoided as well. This means no strapless or
triangle tops. Don’t despair! There are so many mod halters out there! Try
Nike Striped Swim Separates.

If you have shorter legs or torso…

Search for a swimsuit that is cut high on the thigh, elongating your legs
and playing up your fabulous curves. Tankinis are great for women with
shorter torsos. Switching up the pattern on your top and bottom is another
trick of the trade that gives you a “lengthier-looking” body. Make sure to
avoid boy-shorts and bikini skirts because they can make you look shorter.
Try Apt. 9® Starburst Dot Swim Separates.

If you have a longer body shape…

Be creative when it comes to designs and add-ons at the hips and bustline.
This includes shiny jewels and adorable bows and ties! Horizontal stripes
are usually a clothing no-no, but you can seriously do it! Try them in a neon
color like hot pink! Boy shorts and skirts will also give a little more
dimension to your lengthy torso. Vertical stripes and dark colors should be
avoided. Try Xhilaration® Juniors Stripe Bikini - Turquoise/White.

If you have a tiny waist…

Don’t worry that you might not have Kim Kardashian curves; you can still
mimic them by adding embellishments to your bikini bottom, like ruffles. If
you’re smaller on top too, try to mix and match prints with a navy bottom
and funky top. Avoid one-pieces with solid colors or horizontal stripes. Try
Cheetah-print triangle top & Double-string bottom with ruffle.

If you have wider shoulders…
You want the focus to be on your bottom rather than your top. Go for
colorful bikini bottoms with ties or belts. Wider shoulder straps also
downplay your shoulders and actually give you more support too! Just
make sure to stay away from tiny bikini bottoms! Try Mossimo® Black
Women's Reversible Top 2 pc. Bikini Swimsuit.

If you have a plus size figure…
You can still show some skin with a lacy one-piece. Try a V neckline too! Go
for the dark colors like black or brown and go for some ruffles at the hip. A
side cut-out is a little more daring but can really enhance your look! Try
Magicsuit® Firm control crisscross shaping one-piece.

If you are bigger on the bottom…
Skirt bottoms are the way to go, but opt for a simply sexy one that doesn’t
have too many bows or ties. Decorate it up with a fun and flashy top! Just
make sure to avoid boy shorts that will make your bottom look larger! Try
Mossimo® Black: Women's Paisley Print 2 pc. Bikini Swimsuit

Remember to have one or two go-to swimsuits before your first beach trip.
Also, confidence is key! Even though there are swimsuits that flatter your
body type, the truth is that if you feel good in what you’re wearing, you’ll
look good too!
