Spring is barely in full swing – though of course, we’re already dreaming of lounging poolside. But why wait for it to warm up to treat yourself to a fresh crop of swimwear? Just ID your body shape below, then find your new go-to suit.
If You’re Hourglass…
Try cutouts.
Show off that enviable silhouette in a one-piece with strategic cutouts. The hint of skin will highlight your tiny waist and make the most of those curves.
If You’re Athletic…
Try high necklines.
Your muscular frame is well defined, so pick a feature to accentuate. Love your barre-toned arms? A trendy halter top with a high neckline puts them on display.
If You’re Pear-Shaped…
Try one-shoulder tops.
For gals with hips wider than their shoulders, it’s about drawing the eye upward. The asymmetry of one-shoulder tops will grab all the attention.
If You’re Slender…
Try high-cut bottoms.
You know those super-high-cut Baywatch suits you’re seeing everywhere? You’ll rock them. Aim for a style that hits just above your hips to make them appear fuller.
If You’re Curvy…
Try retro-inspired styles.
Take inspiration from the 50s and 60s with swimsuits made to flatter fuller figures. Consider high-waisted bottoms and allover ruching your new poolside BFFs.
