Bathing Suits to Fit Your Body

By Helen Lee

Anyone can look good in a bathing suit. It's just a matter of finding the right style for your figure to help make you look and feel confident and comfortable!

Petite Figures

Give yourself a boost with a push-up bikini or bandeau with strings that tie around the neck. Look for tops that have interesting fabric details like ruffles or funky prints, like this cool retro bikini from Roxy (1).

Long and Lean Figures

Check out this cute skulls and crossbones tankini set from Alloy (2)! Unlike a bikini, the tankini shortens the length of the body, which is great for girls with a longer upper torso. Plus, the high-cut bottoms will lengthen your legs to create a more proportioned look.

Find the swimsuit that's perfect for you!

Swimsuit Styles

Pear-Shaped Figures

Skirtinis are the way to go for girls with a little junk in the trunk. Skirtinis like this one from Delias (3), as well as boy shorts and sarongs, give full coverage to the hips, thighs and butt. Pair it with a colorful top to draw attention up and away!

Curvy Figures

Stick to a one-piece suit to cover those less than six-pack abs. A halter style with pretty details or patterns, especially around the stomach area, distracts the eye from the waistline while baring your arms and legs. Head to Delias to get this rainbow striped suit (4).
