Swimwear for an A body type
The A morphology is characterized by more marked hips than the upper body.
Your silhouette then forms a kind of pyramid.
When you choose a swimsuit, the objective is to catch the eye and bring volume to the upper body to rebalance the silhouette.
To do this, you can choose a swimsuit top with patterns, bright colors or even ruffles and opt for a simple and plain bottom with a slight indentation.
If you prefer one-piece swimsuits, you can turn to a model with a plunging neckline or an asymmetrical at the shoulders.

This one-piece swimsuit is the very example of the ideal swimsuit for V-shaped morphologies. Indeed, the black band at the level of the chest creates horizontality to give the impression that the bust is at the same width than the hips.
In addition, the transparent veil at the waist comes to mark it and diverts the gaze from the hips.
This model is available from 34 to 46.

Swimwear for an H body shape
We recognize an H morphology with shoulders as wide as the hips and the absence of a marked waist.
If we had to compare this silhouette to a geometric shape, it would be the rectangle.
Swimsuits for an H morphology are those that will bring femininity to the silhouette.
Thus, you can wear a two-piece swimsuit with a push-up effect with high-waisted bottoms and/or with ruffles, for example.
Similarly, you can play on the patterns to flesh out and feminize the silhouette.
On the other hand, avoid bands or belts at the waist, as well as square necklines.

Swimwear for a V body type
The V body shape is the opposite of the A body shape. Indeed, if you have a V body shape, your body forms an inverted pyramid, that is, your shoulders are wider than your hips.
Your choice of swimsuit for a V-shaped morphology must therefore be guided by the desire to draw more attention to the lower body to rebalance the silhouette.
For example, you can choose a relatively simple swimsuit top with spaghetti straps.
For the bottom, you can dare to be fancy with ruffled or large-patterned panties.
You can also choose a shorty if you like more covering swimsuits.
If you prefer a one-piece swimsuit, then the plunging neckline will be your best ally.

You can wear these bikini bottoms as a tanga or a thong by gathering more or less the back on the tie.

Swimsuits for a body shape in 8
A figure 8 body shape is a silhouette that has relatively generous curves, with aligned shoulders and hips and a marked waist.
Very feminine, this morphology allows you to wear many swimsuits.
To choose a swimsuit to choose a morphology in 8, the ideal is to retain simple models which emphasize the size.
For example, a plain one-piece swimsuit with a belt.
You can also choose a very feminine bikini that will highlight your curves.

Swimsuits for an X morphology
The X morphology is certainly the easiest morphology to dress.
This also applies when it comes to choosing a swimsuit.
Indeed, the characteristics of an X silhouette are a marked waist, and aligned shoulders and hips.
It therefore resembles the morphology in 8, but with fewer curves.
Therefore, you can afford all the fantasies when choosing your swimsuit.
Swimsuits with ruffles, patterns, original colors, high cut, everything suits you.
You can therefore play the card of originality at the beach as well as at the swimming pool.

Swimwear for an O body shape
The O morphology is the most common morphology in round women whose shapes are distributed over the entire body.
For a swimsuit that sublimates you, the one-piece swimsuit remains the simplest solution.
You can choose it with a sculpting or sheathing effect and/or a flat stomach.
This allows you to redefine the silhouette, while remaining comfortable in your O shape swimsuit. However, you can also opt for a two-piece swimsuit.
In these cases, choose a top that offers good support at chest level and a high-waisted bottom.
Avoid bras and shorties which tend to thicken the silhouette.
