If you have a square frame, search for suits that define your waistline. These suits draw attention to hips with a higher cut that rests closer to the smallest part of the natural waistline, making your legs appear longer. Hips: To accentuate a shapely lower body, choose an 80s-inspired one-piece or bikini.
For smaller chests, bandeau-style tops worn snugly against the body and cups with subtle padding create comfort and play up this area. Underwire in bikini tops can be helpful, if you’d like extra support, and these styles also tend to come with wider straps that hold you in place.
Bust: Comfort is important so shop according to your bra size (cup and band size). A high-waisted bikini can show off your legs and smooth the midsection while a string bikini gives those with a boyish, straight frame the illusion of fuller hips. To accentuate your curves, try a one-piece tank with cut-outs. "It’s less about looking for a trend and more about finding a suit that fits your body and makes you feel confident.” If you’d like support up top, look for halter necklines. The key to selecting the right pieces is to emphasize these assets according to New York-based fashion stylist Malina Joseph Gilchrest. Style Selection: There are a few body-shaping details to consider when it comes to swimsuits including your bust, hips and overall frame.
