With so many styles of bathing suit, swimsuit and bikini to choose from, picking the right type for your body can be a tricky business. If you’re planning on escaping to somewhere warm and sunny in the future, then you’ll want to look and feel your best in a beautiful bathing suit that flatters your curves and supports you in all the right places. Ultimately, of course, it’s all down to picking a bathing suit that you feel great in – don’t worry too much about the ‘rules’, because it’s a very personal choice of clothing and the main thing here is that you feel both beautiful and comfortable when you’re wearing it.
However, if you’re looking for a bit of advice and help when it comes to narrowing down your choices, here are the best options for different body types.

#1. Large Chest:
If you have been blessed with a bigger bosom, then you’ll know that it’s not always as great as it’s made out to be – especially when finding a perfect bathing suit! Women with a top half that’s a lot bigger than their bottom half tend to struggle finding the perfect bathing suit, especially when it comes to one- pieces since there’s usually always one part of the suit that fits a lot better than the rest. If this sounds
like you, then mix-and- match separates are going to be your new best friend. Don’t worry too much about finding bikini tops and bottoms that match up perfectly – in fact, mismatched separates in different colors, or matching a colored top with patterned bottoms and vice versa, can look really cute and help you get around the size differences easily.

#2. Small Chested:
On the other hand, women with a smaller chest will want to opt for a bathing suit that brings out the best side of their assets and offers a little push-up support. Opting for a high-waist bikini set can be a great idea if this is your body type, since it will elongate your petite, female frame and hug your curves in all the right places. When choosing a bikini top, you’ll be glad to hear that there are several great padded and push-up options to choose from if you’re hoping to give your chest that little bit of extra oomph. Halter-neck bikini tops can also be an excellent choice, especially those with embellishments on the front since they can draw attention to your chest and make it appear larger.

#3. Pear-Shaped:
If you tend to be larger around your hips and bottom than you are on top, then you’ll probably be looking for a bathing suit that draws attention to your curvy waist and evens out your figure. One-piece swimsuits are an excellent choice for this; if you are particularly self-conscious about your larger hips, then you might want to go for a swimsuit with a small skirt, that flatters and streamlines your figure to
make your curves pop in all the right places. Avoid bikini bottom with frills or too much embellishment since this will draw more attention to your hips and make them appear larger.

#4. Plus-Sized:
As a larger lady, finding the perfect swimsuit used to be a bit of a challenge, but the good news is that more and more clothing brands are realizing the need for gorgeous and sexy bathing suits in bigger sizes. As a plus-sized lady, one of the main things that you’ll be looking for in your plus size swimsuits is good support; the last thing that you want is to feel uncomfortable and unsupported around the pool or on the beach. Opt for a suit that offers adjustable straps, an underwired bra area, and a good fit so that it doesn’t ride up or pinch. If you are self-conscious about your stomach area, for example, then you can find several plus-sized bathing suits designed to flatter this area and give a more streamlined appearance. Above all, make sure that you feel comfortable and sexy in your own skin when you’re wearing it!

#4. Petite:
If you have a slim, athletic figure and want to add some curves when you’re soaking up the sun on the beach, then a cut-out one piece could be the perfect option for you. Choose a one-piece that gathers in the middle to accentuate your small waist and creates the appearance of a curvy hourglass figure. If you want to create the illusion of wider hips, then a two-piece with tie-side bottoms or frills can help with
this. Above all, make sure that you feel a million dollars in your swimsuit – no matter which type you go for!
