HOW TO CHOOSE SWIMSUITS FOR YOUR BODY TYPE:

Each body shape has a different style of swimsuit that suits their particular body.

It took me a while to work out mine but now that I know I can find swimsuits for the pear shape, I can choose swimwear that suits my body with confidence.

You can too.


THE SWIMWEAR APPROPRIATE FOR EACH BODY TYPE:

Once you know your body type and what suits your particular body, you will look amazing every time you go to the beach or pools. Start with this guide and then do your own research on Pinterest or Google images to see the one you love the most for your shape. Then go to the shops and try on a few to see if this works for you.

Good luck!


PEAR BODY:

The pear body is much smaller on top and larger on the bottom, giving beautiful feminine curves to the body. This can restrict a lot of what you can and can't wear, especially in swimwear. Not every type of costume will suit you, stay away from skimpy bottoms, that's what I have learnt from personal experience.












HOUR-GLASS BODY:

The hourglass is similar to the pear-shaped body with the exception that the top half is usually almost the same as the bottom, giving the body perfect symmetry. This means that the hourglass body has a wider variety of swimsuits it can accommodate for.













RECTANGULAR BODY:

This is probably the rarest of the body types, but still part of the five main body shapes. It is the one where most of the proportions are all the same from top to bottom. So, you need to emulate shape by wearing swimsuits that give the illusion of curves.











INVERTED TRIANGLE:

This one is where the top half is larger than the bottom half, usually swimmers with broad shoulder have it. So, to give you a more feminine look you need to accentuate the bottom half so as to not draw too much attention to the top half.













APPLE BODY:

And in this body type, it is where the middle part of the body is the largest portion of the body, and that is why you want to accentuate the shoulders more.

This body type has the least number of options in swimwear.






 

Did this help you decide which swimsuit you will wear this year? If so, that is the reason why I write this blog post. I hope you enjoy learning about these things as much as I do.

Have a great month and I'll see you on the next one, have a Happy New Year and see you in 2025, for my fifth year writing this blog. Have a Zen Life, by The Style Secrets.
