Inspired by the beautiful advertising images of graceful nymphs emerging from the sea foam, the beauties whom nature has rewarded with magnificent forms, going on vacation, slowly but surely begin to grow into a bunch of awkward complexes, the whole essence of which boils down to something like this: beautiful, stylish and sexy swimsuits for plump women do not sew! So, if you don’t want to spend your entire vacation in burlap, immediately go on a diet and lose weight, even to the detriment of health.

Stop! Firstly, in some cases it makes no sense to argue with nature. Secondly, the opinion that swimwear for women with size plus size is not so good is wrong. There are many designers and brands in the world of beach fashion - Monif C., Kiyonna, Qristyl Frazier, Marc & Andre and others - who create beautiful clothes and beach suits for full ladies. Models are so interesting and bright that they are not inferior in their originality to swimsuits of standard sizes.

It turns out that the point is not at all that fashionable stylish swimsuits are not created for curvaceous beauties, the problem here is of a different kind - even the most expensive branded beach outfit, selected without taking into account the features of the figure, will not look spectacular and emphasize your charms. That is why, before proceeding to clarify the question of which swimsuit models are suitable for plump girls, let's try to give a sober assessment of our own initial data and understand what type of figure you are.

  • Apple

As a rule, these are appetizing girls, the fullness of which is concentrated in the waist area, which is why the stomach and chest can visually seem almost the same in size. But the legs of women with an "apple" figure are always slender and sexy.

  • inverted triangle

Girls with this type of figure have rather broad shoulders and rather big breasts, but the waist line is poorly defined and the hips are usually narrow.

  • Pear

In girls with a physique of this type, the neckline is very refined, the waist is thin, and the hips are wide enough, which in general makes the figure elegant and at the same time appetizing. If a girl with this type of figure is prone to fullness, then the lower part falls under the blow.

  • Rectangle

Shoulders and hips visually seem to be equal in width, and the waist of such girls is weakly expressed. Girls with this type of figure, prone to fullness, gain weight proportionally in all parts of the body.

  • Hourglass

And finally, we come to the most feminine type of figure - the hourglass. Even with a couple of extra kilos, ladies with such a physique look very sexy and feminine, which is achieved thanks to a thin, pronounced waist and equivalent chest and hips.

We figured out the type of figure, it's time to choose a swimsuit in which you will look from the most advantageous side.

Let's define right away - there are no strict taboos and prohibitions. With a magnificent figure, you can choose swimsuits, both one-piece and separate, of any colors and shades. In general, the stereotypes “do not wear white, do not wear tight ones” have been erased recently. Today, designers offer girls and women with plus size - chic separate swimsuits, models of rich colors, swimsuits made of shiny fabrics, which until recently were strictly contraindicated for donuts. The main thing is that in a swimsuit you feel comfortable and look aesthetically pleasing, otherwise everything is rather arbitrary.

Body type A - pear

Problem areas are narrow shoulders, too wide hips and a slightly defined waist. We pay attention to models of swimsuits that will balance the proportions - they will make the shoulders wider, the hips a little narrower, and the waist more slender.

One piece swimsuits and tankinis



Separate swimwear. To reduce the volume of the hips, one-color side inserts on the trunks allow. Don't forget about the bodice with wide-spaced straps that increase the volume of the shoulders. The vertical pattern on the bodice and swimming trunks in the second photo visually stretches the figure.

(note - we will talk about techniques that will help adjust the waist line, make it more elegant and slim in the section on swimsuits for type H)

Type of figure V

Problem areas are broad shoulders, narrow hips and a slightly defined waist.

Separate swimwear.

Separate swimwear.

Bandeau and halter bodices visually reduce the volume of the shoulders and back. Recall that the bandeau is the top of a strapless swimsuit. Accordingly, the model is relevant for owners of breasts with sizes 1-3. If your chest is 4 sizes or more, give preference to a halter bodice.

It is preferable to choose swimming trunks in lighter colors than the bodice.

For narrow hips, slips, shorts, retro models and high-waisted bottoms are good.

Narrow hips look advantageous in swimming trunks with a wide horizontal belt.


Light piping on the bottoms and a horizontal stripe around the hips also visually increase the volume.

The same function is performed by an imitation of a belt and accessories on swimming trunks, such as buckles, brooches, belts, etc.

(note - about techniques that will help adjust the waistline, make it more elegant and slender, read below)

Figure Type H

The proportions of the shoulders, waist and hips are the same. The main problem is the lack of a waist.

A weakly defined waist is a problem area for figures like O, A, H and V. There are several ways to fix the situation.


Separate swimwear


Body type O

Problem areas are the tummy and wide waist, creating an imbalance with narrow shoulders and hips.

Body Type X

Many women call this type of figure - a dream figure. She is considered the most feminine, proportional and without flaws.

Owners of figure X can wear any of the above swimsuits. Separate and piece swimsuits, monokini, tankini suit-dress - every whim.

monokini

If you have a tummy that you want to hide, in the case of two-piece swimsuits, look for retro models and high-waisted swimsuits.

Swimwear with a retro style allows you to hide a small tummy and simulate a waistline.

These models are good if you have a relatively small belly. Before choosing a two-piece swimsuit, it is worth really assessing the waist, and if it exceeds the volume of 100-110 cm, it is better to pay attention to closed models, swimsuits or tankinis.

Every woman should have a little black dress in her wardrobe. A magnificent female figure in an elegant black swimsuit looks no less elegant.


A few words about jewelry. Avoid petite accessories. Jewelry - earrings, bracelets, beads - should be chosen quite massive. In this case, the main thing is not to overdo it with the number of accessories. It can be a set of earrings and a bracelet, a necklace and a bracelet. It is advisable to choose accessories in one tone that will contrast with the main color of the swimsuit. Pay attention to the fittings of the swimsuit, if it contains details of gold or silver color - choose accessories to match the fittings and you will not lose.

And in conclusion, a few general tips for choosing a swimsuit.

  1. Choose your swimwear according to your size! Models are one or several sizes smaller - they pinch blood vessels (which interferes with normal blood circulation), they are too tight, they interfere with free movement and breathing, and they form unaesthetic folds in problem areas.
  2. Swimsuits with a high content of lycra or elastane have a slimming effect and perfectly model the figure.
  3. Problem areas - a full tummy and sides - will be masked by tankinis and piece swimsuits. Models suim-dress, among other things, will hide the extra centimeters on the hips.

All the fair sex are looking forward to the opening of the beach season and. Someone has been preparing for it for months, exhausting themselves with daily workouts, others have been following all sorts of diets for several weeks in order to soon appear before others in all their glory.

But all this can be in vain if you do not take into account a small but significant detail - a swimsuit. It can help a woman hide flaws and emphasize the dignity of her figure, or, on the contrary, nullify all her efforts. In order not to make a mistake in choosing a swimsuit, you should study the advice of professionals on this topic.

Before considering the criteria for choosing a swimsuit, you should pay attention to the range. In addition to the two main types - closed and open - there are many models, each of which fits a certain type of figure and allows a woman to create a unique image.

Among open swimsuits, the most popular deserve:

  • Bikini. This separate and most revealing model will suit a girl with a perfect figure, who does not need to hide her belly or any other figure flaws.
  • Bando. The upper part of such a swimsuit resembles a ribbon or bandage and visually enlarges the chest.
  • Halter. The straps of this swimsuit are tied around the neck.
  • Tankini. The bodice is made in the form of a top, allowing you to hide the folds on the sides or the stomach.
  • Swimdress.
  • Closed swimwear is no less popular and varied. On the contrary, their convenience and ability to disguise figure flaws (excessive fullness, skin problems, stomach) led to the emergence of a wide range of models.

    One-piece bathing suits are:


    In addition, by analogy with separate swimsuits, closed bandeau, halter and swimdress models are arranged.

    Having studied the fashion trends in the current season, the convenience and attractiveness of a particular product, do not forget about the main thing. The swimsuit model you like, as well as its color and pattern, should be coordinated with the features of the physique. Is he able to hide the emerging belly from prying eyes? Does it accentuate the curves of the waist? The answers to these and many other questions have long been prepared by experts, assessing the impact of various design elements on the female look. Now it is enough to determine the type of your body to know for sure what to wear and what to stay away from.

    "Hourglass" or ideal proportions

    Girls can be congratulated - it will not be difficult for them to choose a swimsuit to their liking. In their case, it is best to look at separate models, while taking into account individual features (breast size, skin tone, height). The owners of such a figure are ideally suited for classic monochromatic models, while drawings, on the contrary, can distort the proportions of the body.

    You can provide additional support for the chest with the help of an underwire bodice; the halter model is also well suited for this. At the same time, swimsuits with shapeless "cups" and thin straps should be avoided; they will not suit girls with a large bust and "bando".

    Pear or triangle body type (Type A)

    When choosing a swimsuit for the type, you need to find a model that allows you to visually narrow the hips and accentuate the upper body.

    There are several ways to achieve this effect:


    If, in addition to such a figure, a woman is inclined to be overweight, you should pay attention to closed models of swimsuits that tighten the stomach. To disguise wide hips, a pareo tied at the waist at a certain angle will help.

    "Inverted triangle" or type T

    Here everything is exactly the opposite - it is necessary to draw attention to the hips, avoiding excessive brightness in the upper part of the swimsuit.

    Figure "rectangle" or athletic (type H)

    It characterizes an insufficiently pronounced waist.

    In this case, the girl needs to resort to some tricks to emphasize the subtle curves:

    • visual increase in the volume of the hips and bust (drawings, draperies, ruffles);
    • highlighting the waist with special colors, patterns that create the illusion of a belt;
    • wedge-shaped side inserts visually narrow the stomach;
    • girls with such a physique in the monokini model will look good, but it is not recommended to wear bandeau and tankini.

    Body type "apple"

    Narrow shoulders and hips, a wide waist is a problem for many girls, successfully solved by modern swimsuit manufacturers. Well suited in these cases, the tankini model, which includes classic bottoms and a T-shirt with a deep V-neck. This bathing suit will hide the belly, accentuate the chest and lengthen the legs.

    Individual features: a few important touches

    It is not enough to simply classify your body type - there are several more individual features of the figure that must be taken into account in order to create a complete ideal image.

    small breasts

    Owners of a small bust should not hang their hands - there are many tricks to visually increase the volume.

    Among them - cups with the effect of increasing and maintaining the shape with foam inserts, drapery and ruffles, decorative embellishments, bright patterns and a special color scheme (blackout effect from top to bottom).

    When choosing a swimsuit, you should pay attention to the bandeau.

    Pronounced fullness

    An emerging belly or folds on the sides can be hidden by choosing a swimsuit made of dark-colored matte fabric.

    Slimming inserts on the stomach, a light bright top with a deep cut on a one-piece swimsuit will noticeably transform any figure.

    To help visually reduce the stomach can be a swimsuit with classic high-rise swimming trunks or in the original retro style. At the same time, you should forget about light and bright colors, horizontal patterns and decorative ornaments that are designed to increase volumes.

    Thus, it is impossible not to notice how essential the choice of a suitable swimsuit can be. Any woman, no matter how perfect she may seem, always wants to look even better and more elegant, hide a couple of flaws and appear before her family in the best possible way.

Often, when choosing a swimsuit, we get hung up on fashion trends, forgetting about its most important function - to make our figure more beautiful. Of course, there is nothing wrong with choosing the current model, but if you do not take into account individual characteristics during the selection process, you will end up with a result that is radically different from what you want. Therefore, our main task in preparing for the beach season is to choose a swimsuit according to the type of figure that will make you more spectacular and brighter. It is this simple science that we will now master.

What should be the perfect swimsuit

Hourglass

This is a kind of standard of a female figure, and it is to it that we need to strive, choosing a swimsuit for silhouettes that go beyond this standard. Girls with such a silhouette are in the most advantageous situation, since it is almost impossible to spoil it with a swimsuit. Here you can safely choose absolutely any model, without limiting yourself in color schemes. The only case when we need a correction is overweight, but we will talk about this a little later. So let's move on to more problematic types of figures.

Triangle

Here the main problem is too wide hips against the background of rather narrow shoulders. The main problem that arises in this situation is an attempt to work with only one zone, while it is necessary to apply an integrated approach. Our task is not just to hide the active bottom, but also to try to compensate for the lack of volume in the upper zone. You can do this in several ways:

  • Correct bodice. The easiest way to visually expand the chest area is with a horizontal line, so the best option for the top is a bandeau bodice. The absence of straps is another plus, as they often "cut" the already narrow shoulders;
  • Decorative elements. This again applies to the bodice, since we need to shift attention away from the problematic hips as much as possible. Here, the same push-up can come to the rescue, which will add volume to the neckline, or a textured bodice. A variety of flowers, fringe, ruffles, rhinestones or sequins - all this is ideal for the top;
  • Swimming trunks. Owners of the “pear” figure often make the same mistake: they try to hide the problem area behind shorts, while getting the opposite effect. As we have already said, the horizontal stripe, and this is how this type of melting is perceived, only adds volume, drawing additional attention to the hip area. The best option in this case is swimming trunks with an overestimated neckline. It may sound paradoxical, but the more open our hips, the less they attract attention. It is worth abandoning decorative elements on swimming trunks: there should not be any bows or ties here;
  • Color decision. in this situation, we should only have the top as an accent, so you can safely choose a bright top and combine it with basic bottoms in dark matte tones.

All these techniques can be easily implemented both with a separate and one-piece swimsuit, so you should not give up on the models you like, just choose the swimsuit options that model your figure.

Rectangle

A fairly common version of the silhouette, when the chest, waist, and hips will be equally unexpressed. It is easiest to work with such a silhouette, because almost the only task in this situation will be to highlight the waist line. The main mistake that can be made here is the choice of a single-color piece piece swimsuit, which only aggravates the situation. We can place the accents we need as follows:

  • Highlight the chest. Here the greatest invention will help us - push up. A voluminous bodice or liners in the cups will help to beautifully present even not the largest breasts, drawing attention to the décolleté;
  • We focus on the waist. Here, either models with cutouts on the sides (monokini), or options with contrasting inserts, or a play of color or pattern will help us. All these techniques work in exactly the same way: they visually make the silhouette slimmer, thereby bringing it closer to the desired hourglass;
  • We expand the hips. This is where shorts come in handy, so this is for a rectangle shape. They will help to make the hips more active, respectively, the waist will seem a little narrower.

Best of all, one-piece swimsuits, which give more room for color play, and monokini with symmetrical cutouts at the waist will look best on such a figure.

inverted triangle

An active shoulder girdle along with unexpressed hips make a huge number of girls complex. Even such a rather complex silhouette can be adjusted by highlighting the most advantageous areas. Here the swimsuit must meet the following requirements:

  • Expand your hips. The already known trick with swimming trunks will help us with this, giving an additional horizontal line, which the “inverted triangle” figure lacks so much. If shorts are still not your story, then you can pick up swimming trunks with decorative elements on the hips - ties, bows, ruffles;
  • "Pull" the shoulder girdle, making it a little narrower. A bodice with wide straps or a halter bodice (when the straps are tied around the neck) will help us here, as they hide voluminous shoulders, making the silhouette more elegant. An option for brave young ladies is the so-called plunge - a model of a one-piece swimsuit, in which the neckline reaches almost to the navel. A few vertical stripes will make the shoulder girdle much less active. And who, seeing such a neckline, will look at the shoulders?

Speaking of colors, we better pay attention to the combined models, where a neutral (and preferably dark) top is combined with a bright bottom. Swimming trunks with a horizontal stripe or just a bright print will look perfect.

plus size models

The times when full girls, having complexes about their forms, preferred not to show themselves once again on the beach, have long sunk into oblivion. Thanks to the fact that the fashion industry has stopped ignoring girls with plus size parameters, we can see a lot of options for beach suits that allow you to look stylish and bright. And how can you correct your figure? There are a few secrets here:

  • For a lush chest, it is imperative to select a bodice with wide straps, bones and a dense cup. This will create a good fixation and emphasize the appetizing forms. Taboo in this case are decorative elements that will add unnecessary volume. The best option is matte dark shades, which, if desired, can be diluted with a pattern in less prominent areas;
  • A problem stomach will help to hide shorts with a high waistline. By choosing such a model, you will certainly be in trend, as retro looks will be trendy this season. Another option is a one-piece swimsuit with slimming inserts on the stomach, and a small tummy can be hidden by a simple contrast of a light top and a dark bottom;
  • For a full figure with an unexpressed waist, one-piece swimsuits are suitable, which will help to make it visually slimmer due to geometry, print or play of color. This can be achieved with the help of darker inserts on the sides or a pattern in the central part of the swimsuit;
  • A swimdress or skirtini will help hide skin imperfections in the thigh area. These models resemble a dress or skirt, which perfectly hide imperfections such as cellulite or stretch marks;
  • The color scheme should be as restrained as possible. It is advisable to use matte tones that will not attract too much attention. A large print is categorically contraindicated, which only focuses on curvaceous forms;
  • Often in search of models that hide figure flaws, we go in cycles in fused options, believing that by covering as much of the body as possible, we will become slimmer. Guided by this logic, you should immediately go for the burkini, which reveals only the face, and in some cases even the eyes. In fact, a separate swimsuit will look no less impressive. A tankini or a retro swimsuit with pin-up high shorts will do a great job of corrective action. But in this case, do not forget to take care of a reliable bodice.

One of the most important requirements for a plus size swimsuit is excellent quality. It is worth paying attention to the quality of the fabric, in which there should be a maximum content of lycra. Check the quality of the stitching and seams. There should not be any holes or protruding threads a priori. Another one typical mistake is the desire to buy a swimsuit one size smaller in order to enhance the slimming effect. Believe me, only a size swimsuit can hide flaws, while a small one will not only emphasize existing ones, but also add new folds, which is not included in our plans.

How to choose a swimsuit for your body type

In choosing a swimsuit, it is easiest for girls with a figure type "hourglass". Since this figure is considered as close as possible to the modern standard of an ideal body, most models of bathing suits are created on it. Happy owners of this type can choose any swimsuit for themselves, focusing on the appropriate color, pattern and some personal features of the figure (breast size, small tummy, etc.).

Figure owners "rhombus" it is worth hiding the wide waist and hips, while emphasizing the harmony of the legs and the beauty of the shoulders. You can choose a one-piece swimsuit with slimming inserts at the waist or just choose the right style and color.

If you have beautiful breasts, take a swimsuit with a deep V-shaped neckline. Try to avoid semicircular lines. Choose panties with a high cut to emphasize the length of the legs. You want to avoid clutter at the waist and hips—no frills, horizontal stripes, or flashy colors.

It will be great if your swimsuit is double in color: the bodice is white, it is possible with various decorations, and the waist and hips are black. Vertical or diagonal stripes are allowed around the waist. A neat skirt would also be appropriate.


Girls, with a figure like "triangle" And "pear" wide hips need to be balanced. Visually open the shoulders, make them wider, a halter swimsuit will help.

“Triangles” can stop at a separate version, while pears should consider a fused one, possibly with slimming inserts, if necessary.

Also pay attention to the gang, separate or fused (if growth allows). A horizontal line around the shoulder girdle will also help visually expand it.


As for the pattern, avoid bright colors and horizontal stripes around the hips. On the contrary, try to keep this combination at the top, in the chest area.

The bottom should be either plain or with vertical stripes. You can choose a two-tone swimsuit - the top is brightly colored, the bottom is black or dark blue. Don't be afraid of high cut panties, it will help stretch your legs and make them slimmer.


For type correction "inverted triangle" you should hide too wide shoulders and visually expand the hips, make them more rounded. Look for bathing suits with wide straps. Tank and tankini (both one-piece and separate) is what you need.

"Rectangles" To highlight the waist, a monokini swimsuit is perfect. Choose so that all curly lines are focused on the waist, while, of course, the lines should not be straight.

Some types of plange will also help to emphasize the waist. If you don't want a too revealing swimsuit, you can take a skirtini, swimdress or mayo, but with thin straps and decorative inserts at the waist that mimic the curve.


"Ovals", to accentuate the beauty of the shoulders and legs, should divert attention from excess weight at the waist. Pick up a swimsuit with cups - so that it supports and favorably emphasizes the chest. The material is not shiny, matte.

The colors are dark, not necessarily just black - look in the direction of dark blue, dark green shades if they suit you. The option with slimming inserts at the waist is also perfect for you. A separate swimsuit with panties, which have an oversized waist line, complete with an elongated top, will also help to hide the tummy.

Models of separate swimsuits are also called open. The degree of openness of the top and bottom may vary. These types of swimsuits are good because you can combine the top and bottom both in style, style and color.

  • "Bikini". The most open of all types of swimwear. Its feature is small panties in the form of two triangles that are tied at the hips. The bra can be with soft and padded cups, with underwire and without a frame, with or without push up inserts. This is the largest group of models.
  • Monokini, Trikini. These models can also be attributed to the type of fused, but as open as possible. Their distinguishing feature is the detail that connects the top and bottom. The options may be different: a wide strip in the middle of the abdomen, thin straps on the sides, weaving ribbons. These original and seductive models emphasize the elegance of style.
  • "Bando". The gang model, as in the one-piece version, also has a horizontal line. It can be with a soft, hard cup, with a frame, underwire, with straps on the sides, in the middle and without straps.

Features of sports models

Models of sports semi-closed swimsuits are sewn from dense, elastic fabrics that fit the body well, but do not restrict movement. As a rule, in sports models, the cup is sealed, which supports the chest. For swimming, sports beach games, acrobatics, one-piece swimsuit models with tight seams, closed chest and back are most often chosen. There are also separate models with a sealed cup, but without a frame. For the pool, you can use models of the "body" type with the most closed back and chest.

Swimsuit and body type

How to choose a swimsuit according to your figure? And even so, to be satisfied with the new purchase and there was a low waist? After all, it often happens that a swimsuit is acquired spontaneously: someone liked it, liked the color or an interesting model. But at the first exit to the beach, you feel stiffness, inconvenience, discomfort. To avoid this, you need to know about some of the nuances of choosing a model depending on the type of figure.

  • Leotard for pear shape. The disproportionality of the silhouette is the main feature of such a figure. It is characterized by: a light, narrow top and a heavy bottom with wide hips, full legs. It is worth drawing attention to the elegant top and distracting from problem areas. What models will help to do this? For such a figure, both separate and one-piece swimsuits are suitable. In separate models, the straps on the bodice should be thin to emphasize the graceful neck and arms. Swimming trunks should be wide to accentuate the waist. Foam inserts, ruffles, drapery of the bodice will help to balance the disproportion of the silhouette. The flaws of the figure are emphasized: swimming trunks with ties, a high neckline on the hips, panties with a skirt, thin bikinis. Among the one-piece models, you should pay attention to the bathing suits in the Empire style with a thin strap, a wide constriction under the bust. Solid-color sports swimsuits with a light horizontal insert under the bust will also look good on such a figure.
  • Leotard for the figure "apple". This type is characterized by: slender legs, graceful arms, a rounded shape of the abdomen and chest, without a pronounced waist. With such data, you need to emphasize the legs, visually lengthen the torso, do not focus on the chest and abdomen. What swimsuit models are most suitable? The ideal option is a tankini in the form of a T-shirt with wide straps and a deep neckline. You can choose a halter - with ties around the neck. High-cut silhouettes will slim your legs even more. One-piece swimsuits with wide straps, square or V-neck are also suitable. Ruffles and draperies in the abdomen well "disguise" a wide waist. What else to pay attention to? The material should be dense and elastic, without shine. Bra cups must have underwire. A woman with an apple shape in a bikini, strapless or with thin straps will be uncomfortable.
  • Swimsuit for a rectangle figure. This type does not have a defined waist, the silhouette has the shape of a rectangle. The task when choosing a swimsuit is to divert attention from the wide waist. To smooth out imbalances, it is better to choose styles with high swimming trunks, a U-shaped neck, thin straps, cups without foam, wide bodices. Of the models, feminine tankinis are most suitable. Wide swimming trunks with decorative accessories (skirts, ruffles, belts) will increase the hips in volume, thereby visually narrowing the waist. Sports swimsuits with smooth lines are well suited for a rectangular figure, they will only emphasize the dignity of the figure. You can also safely wear separate swimsuits, the upper and lower parts of which are connected by a strip. What highlights imperfections? Geometric cutouts, thongs, shorts, bandeau bodice.
  • Leotard for an hourglass figure. Women with an hourglass figure in swimsuits of any style look flawless. A balanced top and bottom does not require any "camouflage" and "distraction" moments. However, nature is not perfect. With this type of figure, there are magnificent forms, large or small breasts, wide hips. But the main advantage - a graceful waist - always remains. With an average build, you can choose a style without straps or with straps through the neck. With more magnificent forms, the chest should be well fixed, the bodice should be on wide straps or tied around the neck. Stretch one-piece swimsuits that accentuate the waist line are well suited. It is desirable that the selected model be with a rigid cup. Short legs with such a figure will visually lengthen the high neckline on the hips and triangular neckline. An elongated torso can be “shortened” with rounded cutouts on the sides.
  • Swimsuit for big bust. In this case, it is necessary to consider not only the aesthetic, but also the practical side. Large breasts need to be well fixed, otherwise it will cause trouble while swimming, staying on the beach, swimming in the pool. Therefore, instead of a bodice, you can choose an underwired top that holds the chest well. A bra with large breasts should always be with bones and only with wide straps. They will help keep your posture straight, unload your back. The diagonal line of the chest will be successful, that is, all models with a smell with a large chest will make it even more attractive. Models of bodices with a dense slimming mesh inside are recommended. Thin straps, light fabrics, non-fixed cups, foam inserts should be avoided.
  • Swimsuit for a small bust. There are many ways to visually enlarge the chest: dense cups with bones, push up bras, draperies, ruffles, accessories. It is important that the padded bodice fits snugly to the body and fits in size. Mechanical breast augmentation is not always beautiful. A bra with a horizontal line will increase the chest. The most suitable bandeau model: no straps, with straps as far as possible or coming out of the center of the bodice. If the owner of a small breast does not set herself the goal of visually increasing it, then the most natural option is triangular-shaped cups. A swimsuit for small breasts may well be on a thin ribbon, with thin straps, pitted, fixed cup. There is no need to increase the bust with a slender, petite figure and firm breasts.
  • Swimsuit for wide hips. With wide hips, all attention should be focused on the top. To do this, you need to select such models of bras that increase the chest and bring proportionality to the figure. Well suited bright bodices, deep necklines. It is better to choose dark shades for the bottom; dark inserts on the sides will visually narrow the hips. You also need to choose swimming trunks with a cutout of medium height. Belts, draperies, stitching, skirts, any transverse accessories further increase the volume of the hips.

What is important to consider when choosing? It is better to buy one expensive and high-quality one than several cheap swimsuits. A high-quality swimsuit will last more than one season: it is pleasant for the body, does not “bite”, does not stretch, does not fade in the sun. Branded swimwear should be bought at the beginning of spring, new collections appear at this time. The closer it gets to summer, the fewer options there are to choose from.

Color selection

How to choose the color of a swimsuit? There are many things to consider: body type, color type, personal taste, fashion trends. Well, if all points are consistent with each other. I like the coloring, it perfectly emphasizes the dignity of the figure, it matches the color of the eyes, skin, hair, and you can’t reproach the owner of such a swimsuit for being old-fashioned. How to find this optimal variant?

By body type

The color and type of drawing help to balance the imbalances of the figure.

  • For a full figure. Dark deep colors are suitable, which will visually reduce the silhouette. Floral print and vertical stripes are also recommended. A wide and bright vertical stripe in the middle will attract attention and thereby hide a wide waist. Dark contrast panels on the sides show off the waist well. Swimsuits for obese women with a large bust should not be light colors, with a bright, large pattern, horizontal stripes, with any transverse ornament, from shiny fabrics.
  • For a pear shape. You need to choose contrasting colors - light top, dark bottom. The bodice can be colored, motley, polka-dotted, striped, and the bottoms can be plain. The "cheerful" top will draw attention to itself. On a one-piece swimsuit, a large pattern is acceptable, but there should be an insert that delimits the top and bottom, emphasizing a thin waist.
  • For a rectangle shape. Suitable bright, saturated, contrasting colors. It is best to avoid floral ornaments. For fused models, a diagonal pattern is ideal, which will narrow the waist.
  • With other features of the figure. All colors are suitable for the hourglass. For large breasts - the combined color of the bra: the lower part is light, and the upper part is dark. Small breasts will be enlarged by transverse patterns, light colors, bright colors of geometric shapes, small floral patterns. With narrow hips and shoulders, you can safely buy bright swimwear and models of light colors.




By color type

The most important principle: the color of the swimsuit is not matched to match the hair or skin.

  • Blondes. Blond women with fair skin will suit bright models. Also, the presence of oriental, Indian motifs in colors would be ideal. White-skinned swimsuits are definitely not suitable for white, with sandy, light tones. The color of blondes is lilac, burgundy, turquoise, pink, ripe cherries. It is better to avoid shades of orange and white.
  • Brunettes. Brunettes with white skin should avoid white, monochromatic swimsuits in rich purple and blue. Pale skin and dark hair pair well with delicate caramel and peach colors that will give the skin warm undertones. With swarthy skin and dark hair, you can wear bright swimsuits with the richest palette of crimson, emerald, blue, burgundy, chocolate and other colors. Light yellow and light green tones are less suitable.
  • Brown-haired women. In this case, the range of choice is much wider. After all, brown-haired women are different: with light blond and dark brown hair, fair-skinned and dark-skinned, with gray, green, blue, brown eyes. A brown-haired woman with fair skin should avoid too light shades and catchy colors. A brown-haired woman with dark skin will suit soft and gentle warm tones of swimsuits that emphasize the figure. The perfect color is milk chocolate. Many brown-haired women are suitable for models of brown, green, lilac shades. Solid black, white, red, blue, green colors are not recommended. It is better to choose models with a pattern.
  • Redheads. A rich green color will add warmth to an already “hot” image. It is better to choose fresh shades of greens. Brown, beige, caramel, terracotta, rich yellow are also well suited. Most redheads have white skin, so it’s better not to buy a white, sandy, delicate peach-colored swimsuit, against their background, the skin will be even paler. The red color of a swimsuit with red hair is something explosive and, indeed, should match the temperament.




About winning and non-winning colors

  • White . Refers to the most successful color, which sets off tanned skin well. But it makes white skin painful, with a bluish tint. Also, white is considered the most provocative: it’s not even about transparency, but about those shortcomings of the figure that white easily emphasizes. Therefore, a girl or woman with a perfect figure can afford a white swimsuit. Often white is not chosen from a purely practical point of view - too easily soiled for swimming. But for sunbathing on a sun lounger - quite suitable.
  • Blue and cyan. Colors that are most common among solid color swimwear. Like white, figure flaws can stick out. But with a full figure, a one-piece blue swimsuit is almost ideal.
  • Black . The one-piece black model is a swimsuit that slims. The nobility of this color leaves no doubt. But keep in mind that the color quickly fades in the sun. It also has its own capriciousness: not all models in the black version look good. In most cases, it is still suitable for slender women. A separate black model does not at all reduce curvaceous forms, on the contrary, it emphasizes problem areas. In this case, it is better to purchase models with colored inserts on black swimming trunks and bodice.
  • Red . One of the boldest colors. You need to be prepared for excessive attention (not only male!). Red is a signal color, it catches the eye on a subconscious level. A woman in a red swimsuit may not always have perfect shapes. But she definitely should have confidence in herself and in her own attractiveness.
  • Green . Dark, saturated colors of green are chosen less often, and stylists are careful with this color. Of all the shades of green for swimwear, juicy or delicate shades are most suitable.
  • multi-colored models. These are swimsuits that hide figure flaws. Also, stylists recommend paying attention to accessories: rhinestones, belts, applications, embroidery, decorative trim. These elements not only create a certain style, but also shift the emphasis, “add” somewhere, and “subtract” somewhere.

Which swimsuit to choose? First of all, the choice depends on the type of figure. It is important to take into account the quality, elasticity, fabric density, colors, size matching. A well-chosen swimsuit, like any accessory, emphasizes good taste, refined style, femininity, and character traits.
