What Bikini Flatters Me for My Body Type?

With the arrival of good weather and high temperatures, it's time to bring out your summer clothes and, most importantly, rescue your bikinis from oblivion. However, this rescue operation often comes with some disappointment: because something is no longer your style, because some things don't fit as you remembered...

Sometimes we buy things we like but that aren't necessarily the most flattering or don't make us feel as we would like. This year, we want you to feel good just as you are and love everything you buy, so we aim to help you in the task of choosing the perfect bikini.

Taking into account our body type is essential to know how to choose a bikini, as not all styles flatter us equally. However, the only "bikini operation" you'll have to do is choosing the right bikini from all the ones you love this season.

Rectangle Silhouette

Let's say you're someone whose waist isn't very defined, and your shoulders and hips have a similar width. This is known as the rectangle silhouette. How do you choose the perfect bikini in this case?

What you need is a bikini that helps accentuate your hips and shoulders, which will make your waist look more defined. You can choose a bikini bottom with long straps to tie around your waist, which will make it appear narrower and more defined. Meanwhile, your top should be triangular to draw attention to your shoulders. Geometric prints or vibrant colors can be a great choice.

Apple Silhouette

Do you have wide hips and back? Is your waist not well defined? Then you likely have what is called an apple silhouette.

How do you choose a bikini for this season? What you need is to define your waist well, and high-waisted bottoms will be your best allies. And what about the top? It's best to avoid bandeau-style tops or small sizes, so you can maintain good proportion. If you want to choose a patterned bikini, it's better to go for small or vertical prints that give a greater sense of elongation to your silhouette.

Hourglass Silhouette

If your shoulders and hips have the same width, and your waist is narrower, then you have an hourglass silhouette. How do you choose a bikini according to your body? In your case, it's a bit easier, as the proportions of your body parts mean you only need to choose which part of your body you want to accentuate with your choice.

If you want to highlight your figure, opt for bold prints or vibrant colors. If you prefer to focus on the upper part, go for a bandeau or balconette top. Do you want to highlight your hips? Then choose bottoms with ties on the sides or decorative straps. The most important thing is to choose the bikini you like the most and feel the best in.

Triangle Silhouette

The triangle silhouette is characterized by shoulders narrower than the hips and legs wider than the rest of the body. How do you choose the perfect bikini for this silhouette? The key is to choose one that helps harmonize all parts of the body and creates balance.

How to achieve balance with your new bikini? Choose tops that add more volume to the upper part of the body, while keeping the bottoms simple without bows or details.

Inverted Triangle Silhouette

In your case, the shoulders may be the most prominent part of your body, with the lower third much narrower. This silhouette is known as the inverted triangle, and like the triangle silhouette, it requires choices that help harmonize all parts of the body.

How to choose the right bikini for an inverted triangle? Focus on the hips by choosing bottoms with knots at the hips, decorative straps, ruffles... Also, opt for light colors that add more volume. Meanwhile, for the upper part, it's best to choose simpler tops with triangle shapes and thin straps.
