What type of swimwear suits my shape?

It's almost the end of June! Which means summer is here, and that means it's time for vacations on the beach and swimming pools!

Knowing what type of swimwear styles best suits your body shape will make shopping so much easier. So, finding the right fit that compliments your figure & proportions will give you the most confidence.

As an example, I think a fun & bold monokini can make you shine bright like a diamond with comfortable coverage but in a sassy way.

Plus, if you find a body part to highlight by bringing attention to your favorite areas, you’ll be on fire this summer. Don’t avoid your scary area, just focus on your favorite one. These are my monokini suggestions for various body types. Check out which fit will flatter your shape most.

For pear shaped bodies, I recommend halter-neck styles to draw attention to your top half or a bold cut-out to accentuate your waist.

2/ Athletic Shape

Leaner, straight silhouette and a smaller bust, with little difference in size between the shoulders, waist and hips.

I think my current body shape is similar to this. So this is what I would buy for my next pool party. I prefer to have a minimal silhouette with bold patterns or letters for the retro vibes. If you want to go with solid color, look for unexpected details like one-shoulder or fun cut-outs.

3/ Inverted Triangle Shape

Try a bold width shoulder fit or shoulder detailed design. Taking advantage of your wide shoulders will give the illusion of a slim waist.

4/ Apple Shape

When it comes to styling apple shapes, you can play with a high leg cut monokini or accent your bust area with a plunge neck or detailed cut-out.


Every body type is beautiful and dressing for your individual shape will make sure you feel your most confident, best self! Take time to see yourself, love yourself and find the best fit for yourself. I hope you will feel refreshed by trying new fits & colors. Here’s to an easy breezy summer, cheers!
