In theory it should not be rocket science, but choosing the perfect swimsuit for your body type can turn out to be challenging at times.
Remember all those countdowns we all do till the beginning of summer so we can enjoy the beach, a nice swim or lounging by a nice fancy pool? Well I am pretty sure they are all down to 0 as we have officially reached the first day of the much awaited season.

And since EVERY BODY is a BEACH BODY, we all want to look our best in the swimsuit of our choice for our body type. And you have us to give you the best tips when choosing beachwear this summer.
- First on our lists are our girls with a reverse triangle body.
You know, slightly broader shoulders, larger breasts and usually less wide hips. The main purpose when choosing a bikini for this body type is to create volume in the hips area and give the illusion of narrow shoulders. You can create that by opting for two piece swimsuits usually with a halter top. Since nature has been generous and you will need better support you can go for a padded top plus the separate pieces give you the freedom to go for different sizes in the top and bottom.
Here are few examples of pieces we recommend for you (feel free to click on the pictures to find the pieces on amazon.com)
This suit right here not only offers great support as it has slightly wider straps, it pairs the bra with a great high waisted bottom with a detail that not only disguises the sometimes problematic area of our stomach but also creates the illusion of wider hips.
You can find it on Amazon for $19.99-$24.99.
Second option could be this monochromatic black elegant suit that really highlights your breasts and at the same time has enough details on the bottom to create a nice hourglass figure.
You can find it on Amazon for $25.99.
A third option could be this next all white, slightly boho chic design that would look great on your tanned skin and also has a bottom piece that is perfect for your figure and also very in style.
You can find it on Amazon for $26.99.
- Second on our list are the girls out there with an androgynous figure.
You know, narrow hips, not such an accentuated waistline, not as curvy as we would sometimes wish. No worries, chicas, there are plenty of options out there that will flatter your body and make you feel sexy or more feminine.
The option that you could go for first would be this one :
You can find it on Amazon for $17.99-$23.99.
As you can see it has multiple advantages, the cutout shape creates the illusion of a narrow waistline, the ruffle on top adds volume in chest area, making it appear more full plus the high let cut accentuates your hip creating a very feminine shape. The colourful print is also very in this summer so this is definitely a piece you are gonna wanna buy.
The next option you could go for is this one :
You can see other colors here, and it only costs $22.99.
The horizontal stripes help elongate your torso, the details on the side of the hips make it seem like your waist is a lot more rounded plus the whole color scheme is extremely summery and feminine.
The following recommendation would be a fan favorite with over 1200 reviews:
You can find it here, with other colors available, for $24.95.
More on the sexier side this swimsuit has ruffles that accentuates and creates volume while looking amazing and giving you the extra boost you need. While it comes in a variety of colors we feel that this shade of red is one of the best.
- The third body type we have some suggestions for is the pearshape.
Extremely common and well desired by many, it is not as easy as you would think to highlight, and it needs a few careful tricks that you can apply as it follows.
A first option could be :
You can find it here, for $25.99-$29.99.
This retro two piece can make you feel instantly like one of those pin up divas that as we all know scream sex appeal and curves. The high waste bottom accentuates your tiny waist while the bold color top offers you support while you rock that hourglass shape.
You can find it here for $23.99-$29.99.
This second option is a choice that could be considered bold by some as it features a very trendy animal print. The one shoulder top is adjustable so it can be useful to both our busty babes and not so well endowed beauties while the Brazilian bottom is a must for this summer.
The third and final option for pear-shaped girls could be:
You can find it here, as well as other color options, for $26.99-$28.99.
This colorful piece is perfect for those of you that enjoy putting some fun in every outfit. It features a very supportive top with a few details that make the area stand out and a flowery bottom that can also be combined with any other monochromatic top for a bit of variety.
