Hello: I haven't done squats in 2 years! I hate my love handles. I'm too skinny.
**Finger snaps** Girlllll you better stop!
EVERYONE can rock a swimsuit, chances are you just haven't found the best swimwear for your body type yet.
I have to confess that I've had this post in the bag for a while now, and with the Northern Hemisphere still enjoying the heat and Australia about to head into Summer, I thought now would be the perfect time. Being in reverse climates/ constant Summer can be confusing!
So get ready for a little styling session and learn how to flaunt all that sexiness your mamma gave you in the right swimsuit for your body type!
Pear Shape
The pretty pair shape is all about that bass! If you're not down with the kids, that basically means she has a full hips and thighs, smaller waist and small bust.
As the biggest, most typically-British pear shape myself, I know how daunting it can be to flaunt your wobbly behind in what is basically a glorified pair of pants. I always tend to go for a full-butt shape for extra coverage.
What To Wear
You should opt for a swimwear that will allow you to flaunt that teeny waist, whilst adding volume to your bust area, in turn balancing out your figure. I would recommend going for a two piece where you buy different sizes in the top and bottom just to get that perfect fit!
The Push Up Bikini
Under-wiring and padding are your new BFFs! Opt for a push up bikini to add some oomph to your chest, balancing out your body and giving you that enviable hour glass shape.
Embrace this seasons fringe trend with your swimwear and go for a fringed top. Ruffles & embellishments also add volume to the bust and balance out that bod!
Apple Shape
Who?
Apple shaped beauties have those huge tatas we all dream of! They have a top-heavy frame, with a larger tummy, breasts and arms and slimmer legs and hips.
What To Wear
Girrrrlll with those legs you can go for it! Although swimwear may be daunting for you because of your curvy tummy, a stunning one piece or tankini is your key to ultimate beach babe status!
The Crochet One Piece
Crochet has to be the prettiest and most feminine trend around at the moment, so why not rock it with sand between your toes? A one piece will skim across your curves and crochet will be loose and more flattering than spandex.
If you're more of a two piece girl, but don't want to bare those abs for all to see, a tankini may be the solution to all your problems.
Rectangle Shape
Who?
All round slim and athletic, rectangle girls may as well be supermodels! You sport a straight up and down figure with small hips, bust and waist.
What To Wear
You are seriously blessed when it comes to that beach body, so you can wear anything with a bit of confidence. Whether you want to rock the athletic vibes, or add curves through your swimwear, you are sure to look gorgeous either way!
The Racer Back Bikini
This sporty shape might as well have been made for you and your slim beauty! Add to the sporty vibe by opting for mesh, or add curves with horizontal stripes or cleverly placed cut-outs.
Add curves by adding volume to your waist and butt. Ties, bows and ruffles are all great ways to do this.
Hourglass Shape
Hour glass girls ooze sex appeal. With a teeny-tiny waist and balanced, yet curvy bust and hips, hour glass hotties are total body goals! Got a bod like Miss Monroe? Flaunt it!
What To Wear
You've got those stunning proportions, so it's all about showing them off to the max! Flaunt that small waist and show off those curves girl: you were born with them!
Cut-Out Waist Swimsuit
A swimsuit will show off that super hot bod and cut-outs at the waist will draw attention to those abs!
High Waist Bikini
Embrace the vintage, pin-up elements of your figure with high waisted bottoms! Plus, these babies make your legs look instantly longer.
Now that you know which swimsuit is best for your body type, it's time to hit the beach and rock it!
