Bikini types by body shape: how to choose the perfect style for you
Have you ever seen a gorgeous bikini, tried it on… and it just didn’t look the way you expected? Choosing the right bikini type according to your body shape can make all the difference between feeling uncomfortable or fully enjoying your sunny days.
Here are the key tips to get it right from the start.
Small bust
If you want to enhance this area, bikinis with ruching, ruffles, or underwire without padding are your best allies. They add visual volume without the need for push-up. Bandeau styles with details or prints also work really well.
Large bust
Support is the key. Choose tops with underwire, wide straps, or halter styles. These options offer comfort and hold without compromising on design. Avoid very thin straps or tops without structure.
Undefined waist
To create more shape, go for high-waisted bottoms or styles with side ties, and tops with V-necklines. This cut visually elongates the torso and enhances your silhouette.
Wide hips
Balance your figure with eye-catching tops (bold colors, prints, ruffles) and bottoms in solid colors with clean cuts. This way, attention is drawn to the upper part of your body.
Balanced figure
If your shoulders and hips are similar in width, you’re in luck! You can play around with almost any style: triangle, bandeau, asymmetrical... Pick what best suits your personal style and makes you feel confident.
Customers often ask which bikini types by body shape help conceal the tummy, whether underwires are comfortable, or if high-waisted bottoms are more flattering.
You’ll find all this information in detail in our product descriptions and size guides to help you choose with complete confidence.
Remember: there’s no such thing as an ideal body—there’s an ideal bikini for every body. And yours is waiting here.
Which bikini to choose to flatter your tummy?
One of the most common questions when looking for the right bikini type according to body shape is how to hide the tummy. In this case, one-piece swimsuits with ruching around the belly or high-waisted bikinis with shaping effects are perfect. Dark tones and vertical patterns also help to visually slim the figure.
Which styles are the most slimming?
If you’re looking to elongate your body visually, bikinis with deep V-necklines and high-cut bottoms are a great choice. These designs create vertical lines that flatter the silhouette. You can also go for monochrome sets for an even more streamlined look.
