Which swimsuit to choose according to your morphology?

If you are looking for a swimsuit that refines your silhouette, it is quite relevant to orient your choice according to your morphology.

Indeed, depending on your figure, the characteristics to look for in a swimsuit will not be the same.

There are even some things to avoid depending on your body type.

Explanations.

A-shaped silhouettes

If you have an A morphology, that is to say the bust thinner than the hips which forms a kind of pyramid, then the objective will be to create volume at the top and to refine the bottom of your body.

For example, if you opt for a two-piece swimsuit, you can take a bandeau that brings horizontality and draws the eye to the chest.

You can also choose a bra.

For the bottom, opt for high-cut bikini bottoms that will give the impression of longer legs.

On the contrary, shorties, frills, too showy colors and patterns should be avoided at the bottom.

V-shaped silhouettes

V-shaped silhouettes are characterized by shoulders that are wider than the hips.

Your silhouette then forms an inverted pyramid.

In this case, for the swimsuit top, choose a triangle swimsuit that will draw the eye to the neckline.

You can also dare the headband.

Regarding the bottom of the swimsuit, you can choose a shorty, especially in a flashy color to rebalance the silhouette.

If you prefer one-piece swimsuits, opt for a model with a plunging neckline.

For V-shaped silhouettes, straight straps and square necklines are to be avoided.

H-shaped silhouettes

As for the H silhouettes, they are distinguished by a slightly marked waist.

The shoulders and hips are of a similar width.

If your figure is H, the structured one-piece swimsuit is your best ally.

A strapless model is a must!

For two-piece swimsuits, you can take for:

• the top: a push-up bikini;

• bottom: swim shorts.

In general, avoid belted models that would only thicken your waist.

X silhouettes

The X or hourglass silhouette is certainly the easiest to dress, including when looking for a swimsuit according to your silhouette.

Indeed, the shoulders and hips are aligned and the waist marked.

So you can afford anything!

O-shaped silhouettes

Finally, if you have an O silhouette, that is to say that you have generous curves spread over the whole body, several possibilities are available to you:

• a one-piece swimsuit with a flat stomach or sculpting effect to redefine your figure;

• high-waisted bikini bottoms;

• V necklines.

Avoid models with straps that cut the silhouette and straps that are too thin.

All these tips for choosing a swimsuit to refine the silhouette according to your morphology are there to help you make your choice.

However, the main criteria remain your feelings and your pleasure.
