To help you feel your best when picking out a new swimsuit or bikini set, we have plenty of tips for finding the most flattering swimwear for you this season. Whatever your body shape, it’s body confidence that matters most.
Use our guide to identify your body type and find flattering bikinis and swimsuits designed to fit, complement, and showcase your figure. All crafted with comfort and support in mind, premium fabrics and design take centre stage in this gorgeous flattering swimwear edit.
THE BEST SWIMWEAR FOR PEAR SHAPES
The gorgeously feminine pear shape is characterised by wider hips, a cinched-in waist, and a full bum.
Whether you’re drawn to barely-there thong bikini bottoms or high-waisted bikinis, high-cut styles will add length to your legs and highlight your natural shape.
We love the Sorrento Brazilian bikini bottoms for their stylish V-shaped front and leg-lengthening cut, designed to let your natural shape shine. The matching Sorrento plunge bikini top features supportive underwire and padded plunge cups, creating extra volume around the bust while complementing your bottom half.
Looking for the best one-piece swimsuit for pear shapes? Check out the Panama smoothing swimsuit. Bold cobalt blue ensures on-trend colour, while a padded balconette cup and fully adjustable sides let you create your perfect, pear-shape-flattering swimwear.
FLATTERING SWIMSUITS & BIKINIS FOR STRAIGHT BODY TYPES
If your bust, waist, and hips are similar in width, you likely have a straighter body type. Pieces that create curves and emphasise your legs, like ruched swimwear options, are flattering for athletic shapes.
Opt for one of our most flattering bikini bestsellers, the Ibiza plunge bikini top. This unpadded plunge top is underwired with a ruched adjustable neckline, perfect for creating lift and enhancing your natural shape. The adjustable side ties on the matching Ibiza bikini tie-side thong mean you can wear it in a low sporty style or higher on the hip for a curve-creating V-front style.
For a figure-flattering swimming costume that suits a lean silhouette, choose the Naples crinkle super push-up swimsuit. It promises dramatic lift, plus a cross-over front tie so you can adjust as you like. Ruched sides add texture and curves to your body, while the high-cut leg elongates and streamlines to perfection.
FIGURE-FLATTERING SWIMWEAR FOR HOURGLASS CURVES
If you have an equal bust and hip ratio and a well-defined waist, you’re likely an hourglass shape.
Strappy swimwear styles are perfect for emphasising a natural hourglass body. The Bondi triangle bikini top is a playful printed piece that will flatter your curves. Adjust for your desired coverage, and pair it with the tie-side Bondi Brazilian bikini bottoms (worn high on the hips) to maximise your body’s beautiful angles.
Cut-out swimwear is a flattering swimsuit style for hourglass body types. The Ibiza swimsuit’s subtle keyhole cutout is a beautiful blend of sexy and sophisticated. Fully lined, matte fabric meets adjustable straps to create the most flattering swimsuit for hourglass body shapes. Finish with the chic chiffon mini sarong tied at the midline to create a timeless silhouette, whatever your shape.
THE BEST SWIMWEAR FOR APPLE BODY SHAPES
The apple shape, also known as the ‘inverted triangle,’ is characterised by a wider torso and fuller bust, with narrower hips and legs.
Underwired bikini tops that work with your natural volume will provide the support you need to feel your best in swimwear. Look for feminine details on bikini bottoms to balance out your natural figure.
The Amalfi crinkle balconette bikini top is our top contender for apple-shaped body types. The underwired top and wide adjustable straps deliver a perfect fit up to a G cup, all in a gorgeously feminine crinkled pink material. The matching Amalfi crinkle high-waist bikini briefs benefit from side ruching to add shape, texture, and adjustable coverage around the hips.
FLATTERING SWIMSUITS & BIKINIS FOR ROUND BODY SHAPES
Similar to the apple, round body shapes have extra width at the ribs and volume on the bust. Supportive swimwear is essential, while a high-cut leg will add poise and confidence to your swimwear ensembles.
Classically stylish, we guarantee you’ll love the Panama smoothing swimsuit in black as a summer staple. The padded balconette fits up to a G cup, and the scooped back is beautifully flattering. The adjustable sides allow you to customise for a higher leg, so you can wear it your way.
THE BEST BIKINIS & SWIMSUITS FOR SPOON BODY SHAPES
Common among petite ladies, the spoon body type typically has narrower shoulders and waists, with a curvier midriff compared to the pear shape.
Push-up bikini tops with embellishments will add style and texture up top, perfectly complementing the high-waisted bikini bottoms most spoon-shaped ladies prefer.
The Lima bandeau bikini top’s removable padding, ruched detailing, and shape-accentuating asymmetry fit the curve-balancing brief perfectly. And the matching Lima Brazilian bikini bottoms are in a tanga style, with total adjustability so you can get the coverage you want.
