Bikini Styles for YOUR Body Type

Bikini's come in endless colors, prints and fabrics...however, the most important factor when choosing a bikini is the STYLE!  You need to feel comfortable in the style of bikini that you've chosen for yourself.  Selecting a flattering style for your body type is easy!  Check out the tips below to determine which bikini style will suit your body best:

If you're...

SMALL ON TOP:

• Look for bikini tops that feature padding or a demi-bra style.  Also, if they include adjustable straps, that's an added bonus because they allow you to make those minor adjustments to help fill out your top just a bit more.
• Try a bandeau style top.  It's easier for girls who are small on top to pull them off because they don't require as much support.
• Keep an eye out for bikini tops that feature ruffles or embellishments around the bustline.  Those are great styles to accentuate your assets!

LARGE ON TOP:

• Look for bikini tops that offer support.   Halter tops or styles that are banded around the midriff (tied in the back) are great because they allow extra lift and you can adjust accordingly.
• Avoid tops that are strapless, bandeau styles, and triangle bikini tops that are minimal coverage.
• Opt for wide shoulder straps as opposed to string tops.  Classic or wide shoulder straps will be much more comfortable and will provide a better fit than string tops.

                  

SHORT TORSO / LEGS:

• Make your legs appear longer by finding a bikini style that is cut higher on the thigh. Higher cut styles are great for curvy girls with hips too because it accentuates your smaller waist.
• Mix and match!  Find a great solid colored bottom and a top that features embellishments or areas of interest.  It will keep the focus on the top and give you a longer look.
• Avoid skirt bottoms or boy-cut bottoms.  They will draw the eye downward and make you look shorter than you may be.

               

LONG TORSO / LEGS:

• Opt for suits with lots of fun embellishments!  Jeweled necklines or loop hardware on the hips will look great on your body.
• Bold, bright colors are definitely your friend!
• Skirt bottoms or boy-cut shorts will accentuate your long frame.
• Avoid vertical striped patterns.
