Best swimsuit styles to flatter your body type -

Each year, we are faced with a myriad of options to choose from when swimsuit brands drop their styles for the following summer. But most of us don’t know which styles do suit our body shape the most. Obviously, anyone can wear any style because there are no rules, and every body shape can rock all styles, yet sometimes we need some tips and tricks to emphasize the parts of our figure we like. We are here to spill it all out today!

If you have a small chest

Choosing a bikini for smaller busts is very easy as you can pull off almost all styles. However, if you want to balance your smaller chest to your wider hips, here are our tips.

Bandeau Tops:

Bandeau tops are fun. If you want to draw attention to your chest, don’t go with the tube tops but rather go with bold colors, prints, ruffles, and embellishments. Since you don’t need much support, you can enjoy them without the straps.


Sahara Swimwear Obbo Triangle

Triangle/String Bikini Tops:

Probably the most popular style of all styles, triangle bikinis are easygoing and can be used multi-way (see here for suggestions). Thanks to the strings, both small busts, and bigger busts can easily pull them off. The straps emphasize your shoulders making them appear wider and more proportionate with your hips, to achieve a fuller bust look. Play around with big prints and bold colors, like this red & orange bikini from Sahara Swimwear.

If you have a  bigger chest

It can be tricky to find a bikini top when you have a larger bust as you need more support than a smaller one.

Bikini tops with straps are a great option for extra comfort and style. They are also very versatile as they look like a crop top and can be paired with midi skirts, jeans, or even leggings outside the beach or pool too! Choose from the fun and sexy print options.

High-cut bikini bottoms are the key to elongate your legs and enhance your curves. They create an illusion as if your legs start from higher. If you want to look curvier, simply pull the strings on sides higher up, and voila!

High Waisted Bottoms:

If you don’t like to show off your midsection, but do not want a one-piece, high-waisted bottoms are your answer. Taking you back in time, high-waisted bottoms will give you a retro style and comfort of movement. Vertical lines like in this pink and white print of Sahara Swimwear create an illusion of a longer figure. Sahara Swimwear’s High Waisted Bikini bottoms have lace-up strings at the sides, that elongate the legs and give them a sexy twist in style.
