Help & Advice
Unlike other must-haves in our wardrobe, when it comes to finding the right swimwear, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all. No matter your body type, the right bikini or swimsuit can accentuate your best features and help you feel fabulous - whether you have curves you want to accentuate, or areas you want to cinch or balance. From lounging by the pool to enjoying a beach day, our swimwear collection has a range of styles designed to flatter every figure so that you can both look good and feel amazing, whether you’re on holiday or at home.
When choosing a flattering swimsuit or bikini, it's important to focus on what makes you feel your best. Different cuts, patterns, and structures will suit different bodies, styles, and moods. Let's look at the basics… - Cut: High-cut briefs can help to elongate the legs while deep necklines and strategic seams can create an illusion of curves or highlight your natural silhouette. - Pattern: Bold prints can draw attention where you want it, while solid colours offer a sleek, streamlined look. - Structure: Supportive features, like underwired tops or smoothing panels, can smooth, lift, and shape your figure.
Flattering swimwear is all about the little details. Here are a few key features that will help you feel comfy, supported, and confident: - Adjustable Straps: For a fit that’s just right—comfort, lift, and no awkward shifting. - Ruching: Adds texture and smooths things out, creating a beautiful, sculpted shape. - Smoothing Swimsuits: Helps smooth and shape your midsection, giving you a balanced, confident look.
And don’t forget to properly care for your swimwear so it stays in top shape for years to come. A little TLC can keep it looking and feeling as amazing as the first time you wore it.
Choosing the right bikini is all about finding a style that makes you feel comfortable and confident in your own skin. Here are a few bikini styles to consider, depending on your shape: - Triangle Bikinis: These are perfect for smaller busts, giving you a relaxed, natural look that works for many body types. And they're super versatile, too! - Push-Up Tops: Want a little extra lift? Push-up bikini tops give you that added support and shape, making them a great option for those with fuller busts. - High-Waisted Bottoms: If you love a vintage feel with a bit of smoothing control, high-waisted bikini bottoms are a great choice. They elongate your legs and create a smooth, flattering silhouette.
If you have a well-defined waist with balanced proportions between your bust and hips, you're likely an hourglass shape. For this body type, the goal is to accentuate your curves and highlight your natural silhouette. Strappy swimwear styles are perfect for emphasizing your hourglass figure. The Ibiza Floral Plunge Bikini Top is a floral textured option that beautifully complements your curves. Pair it with the Ibiza Floral Bikini Bottoms (worn high on the hips) to enhance your body's natural angles and create a stunning, sculpted look.
Cut-out swimwear is another great option. The Ibiza Ombre Cut-Out Swimsuit features a subtle cutout detail that strikes the perfect blend of sexy and sophisticated. Its fully lined, metallic fabric and adjustable straps provide both comfort and support, making it the ideal swimsuit to showcase your hourglass shape.
The feminine pear shape is defined by wider hips, a cinched-in waist, and a fuller bum. Whether you're drawn to barely-there thong bikini bottoms or high-waisted bikinis, to balance a curvier lower body with a smaller upper body, look for high-cut styles to add length to your legs and highlight your natural shape.
High-cut styles, like the Sorrento Brazilian Bikini Bottoms, are perfect for creating a balanced silhouette. Their V-shaped front and leg-lengthening design highlight your natural shape. Pair them with the Sorrento Plunge Bikini Top, which features underwire and padded plunge cups to enhance your bust and complement your bottom half.
One-pieces with balconette cups and adjustable sides are also a great option, providing a custom fit that perfectly shapes your pear figure.
If your bust, waist, and hips are similar in width, you likely have a more straight, athletic figure. To create the illusion of curves and add dimension, opt for swimwear that enhances your shape and emphasizes your legs. Ruched swimwear is a great choice for adding texture and definition. One of our most flattering bestsellers, the Ibiza Plunge Bikini Top, is perfect for this body type. This unpadded, underwired plunge top features a ruched, adjustable neckline that lifts and enhances your natural shape. Pair it with the Ibiza Tie-Side Thong Bikini Bottoms—adjustable side ties allow you to wear them lower for a sporty look or higher on the hips to create a flattering V-front.
For a figure-flattering one-piece, the Naples Crinkle Super Push-Up Swimsuit is ideal. With dramatic lift and a cross-over front tie for a customizable fit, this swimsuit creates beautiful curves. The ruched sides add texture, while the high-cut leg lengthens the body for a streamlined, curvaceous silhouette.
Apple-shaped bodies are often characterized by a fuller midsection with narrower hips and legs. The goal is to highlight the beautiful curves around the bust and legs while creating a balanced silhouette. Swimwear with smoothing-control panels is ideal for smoothing and shaping the midsection, helping you feel confident and comfortable. The Panama Smoothing Swimsuit is a fantastic option, with ruched detailing to streamline the waist and a deep V-neckline that draws attention upward to the bust.
If you prefer a two-piece, the Amalfi Crinkle Balconette Bikini Top is a great option. Offering support up to a G cup, the underwired top with wide adjustable straps provides an excellent fit and lift. The soft, crinkled powder blue fabric brings a feminine touch, while the matching Amalfi Crinkle High-Waist Bikini Briefs feature side ruching to create a beautiful shape and offer adjustable coverage, giving you a balanced, flattering look.
Spoon-shaped bodies typically feature a fuller lower body with wider hips and a smaller waist. To create balance and enhance your natural curves, opt for swimwear that draws attention upward while providing coverage and shaping around the hips and thighs.
High-waisted bikini bottoms are a game-changer for this body shape. They elongate your legs, define your waist, and create a smooth, sculpted look. The Vida High-Waisted Bikini Bottoms do all that and more, thanks to their flattering ruched detailing and supportive high-rise fit. For the perfect match, pair them with the Vida Balconette Bikini Top. With its ruched cups and chic strap details, this top draws the eye upward and enhances your shape beautifully.
Off-the-shoulder, bandeau or strapless bikini tops also work well for this shape. The Lima Bandeau Bikini Top is a gorgeous choice - the simplicity of the top, combined with flattering high-waisted bottoms, creates a stylish ensemble that's both comfortable and flattering.
Round body types typically feature extra width at the ribs and added volume around the bust. The key to flattering this shape is to choose swimwear that offers support, smooths the midsection and elongates the figure. Look for styles with ruched fabric, high-waisted bottoms, and plunging necklines to create a balanced, elegant look.
For a sculpted look that flatters your curves, the Rivoli Monochrome Swimsuit is a great choice for round body shapes. Its padded balconette cups offer a flattering lift, while wide adjustable straps ensure the perfect fit. The ribbed fabric with plain detailing enhances your silhouette, and the elegant back cut-out adds a modern touch.
Another great choice is the Amalfi Crinkle Swimsuit, which combines sophisticated design with functional support. The crinkled texture creates a slimming effect, while the deep V-neckline draws attention upwards.
For those with a larger bust, finding swimwear that offers both style and support is important. After all, whether you're staying active or lounging by the pool on holiday, you'll want swimsuits that provide lift and shape while also ensuring you feel secure and comfortable all day long.
