A simple guide to choose the swimwear, swimsuit and the bikini that best siuts to your body

To appear sexy and beautiful in a bikini is not impossible: all you need is the right style. First identify your body type and pick styles that are best suited to your silhouette, highlighting your strengths and hiding your weaknesses.

Physical patterns

PEAR-shape: if this is your body, you carry more weight in the hips, thighs and legs. Draw attention above the waist. Look for a swimsuit with a lower neckline. Bright colors on the top of the swimsuit will do the trick.

APPLE-shape: you have a larger upper-body and fuller breasts. Go for halter-top style swimsuit. Feel free to combine printed tops with solid bottoms. Also make sure the swimsuit provides added breast support.

Carrot shape: are you slim and not as curvy? Choose a style that enhances your hips and chest. The ideal is a swimsuit with ruches, laces and accessories that add movement and volume to your piece.

HOURGLASS-shape: you have a curvy upper and lower body. Look for swimsuits with adjustable straps and halters. One-piece bathing suits work well also.
