- Pear shape: If your hips are significantly wider than both your waist and bust, you’re probably a pear.
- Apple shape: If your waist is significantly wider than your hips, and equal to or nearly as wide as your bust, you might be an apple.
- Hourglass shape: If your bust and hips are about the same width, but your waist is significantly smaller, you’re a classic hourglass.
- Straight (also known as ruler or banana shape): If you’re thin all around, with no significant difference between your hips, waist and bust, you’re a straight shape.
They key to finding the right suit for you is trying on different styles, shapes, and colors. You want to find a color that is fitting to your skin tone. For women with darker complexions brighter colors work the best. Women with darker skin tend to look better in colors like white, orange, yellow, and lighter shades of green, purple, and blue. Women with lighter skin should stick with darker colored suits.
If you are wanting to hide your midsection you can find a one piece. You can also purchase a two-piece and also find a cute cover up to wear over it. You can also purchase a “tankini”. This is a suit that has a bathing suit top that is similar to a spaghetti strap tank top and regular bikini bottoms. These can also come with boy shorts for those who want to try to cover more of their lower body.
Bathing suits come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They have traditional bikini tops, Bordeaux tops, halter tops, and many other styles. The important thing is to try on different styles and see which style you like the best.
Ladies, NEVER be ashamed of your body! Buy the suit that you want and flaunt it with confidence! Don’t forget to dress up your suit with accessories such as jewelry, hats, shades, and anything else that you can think of. The key is to look good, feel good, and to have a great time!!
