As a curvy-athletic girl who fluctuates between a size 4 and a size 10 depending on the year (and let's be honest, the season), I know how magical it feels when you find a swimsuit that hugs you in the right places and gives you that damn, I look good energy. Swimsuit shopping can feel intimidating, especially when it seems like everything is made for one body type. But there's a suit out there that works for your shape and your vibe!
First, you just need to figure out your body type. Then scroll down for styles that'll flatter you best (with direct links, because no one has time to aimlessly browse for 3 hours).
Step 1: Know your body type
Use this quick breakdown to guide you:
Curvy or Hourglass: You've got a defined waist with hips and bust that are fairly balanced.
Athletic or Straight: Less defined waist, shoulders and hips are about the same width. Think long and lean.
Pear-Shaped: Your hips are wider than your bust. You may carry more weight in your thighs or butt.
Apple-Shaped: You carry weight around your midsection, with slimmer legs and arms.
Full Bust: You need real support up top—halter triangles aren't cutting it.
Petite: You're 5'4" and under, so proportions matter.
Step 2: Shop for your type
For Curvy / Hourglass Bodies
Try: High-waisted bikinis or belted one-pieces that define your waist and offer support.
Why it works: Tummy control + defined waist = chef's kiss.
Shop it:
For Athletic / Straight Shapes
Try: Suits with cutouts, bold prints, or ruching to create dimension and curves.
Why it works: Creates the illusion of curves and adds visual interest.
Shop it:
For Pear-Shaped Bodies
Try: Off-the-shoulder or ruffled tops to balance out wider hips. Pair with solid-colored high-rise bottoms.
Why it works: Draws the eye upward and flatters your shape without squeezing your hips.
Shop it:
For Apple-Shaped Bodies
Try: Plunging V-necks or ruched one-pieces that elongate the torso and smooth the midsection.
Why it works: Ruching hides the tummy and the neckline draws attention upward.
Shop it:
For Full Busts
Try: Suits with underwire, wide straps, or molded cups that actually hold you up.
Why it works: They'll support the girls without compromising on style.
Shop it:
For Petite Frames
Try: High-cut legs and low-rise bottoms to elongate your shape. Avoid super-busy prints that can overwhelm.
Why it works: The high cut makes your legs look longer and adds some sass.
Shop it:
Once you know what styles flatter your shape and make you feel good, shopping becomes way more fun. Happy swimsuit shopping!
