Every Body Is A Beach Body: Choosing The Right Swimwear For You

The official start of summer is, oh wow, now. Stripping down can be intimidating, but bathing suit anxiety is so out of fashion. We want you to be relaxed in lycra, lady, so here are our takes on this season’s most flattering swimwear. Everybody has their summer suit psychology, but bathing suits are just math.


Here’s the formula: accentuate what you love, pick a color that makes you feel like a queen, strut. Find the cutest equation for your sexy shape and enjoy.
FULL BUST- WELL ENDOWED DEEP DIVE
Girls with girls, i’ve got you covered. You deserve a good fit and support (in life and leisure wear). Full busts benefit from underwire structure and thicker straps always assist. Try a halter for a flattering natural lift. Specificity leads to bathing suit bliss.

TRY:
1. Forever 21 Underwire Bikini Top ($20)
2. Forever 21 High Waist Bikini Bottoms ($16)
3. Ashley Graham Leopard Swimsuit ($92)
4. Malia Mills Valencia Maillot A/B/C/D Cup ($395)

ATHLETIC – SUPER FIT FRAME
If your shape is straight up and down, and you have fewer curves, play them up with ruffles and embellishments. The smaller the suit, the more swerve in your seat, i.e. teeny weeny bikinis are your friend. Padding and bandeaus help too. Add side ties and florals and you’re the portrait of pretty.

TRY:
5. H&M Bandeau Bikini Top ($18)
6. H&M Tie Bikini Bottoms ($13)
7. Minkpink Floral Mesh Swimsuit ($92)
8. Express Off The Shoulder Swim Top ($35)
9. Express Low Rise Bikini Bottom ($21)

CURVY – ALL THE RIGHT MOVES
Dangerous curves ahead. That’s right babe, we’re talking about you. You’ve got ample assets, and we’ve got ample options. To play up your waist, go for a high-waisted vintage bottom. To draw attention to those hot hips, get skimpy. Fun fringe necklines bring the eye up. Of course, support and coverage are always beloved, but do what you like. You want keep thrills to a maximum this summer.

TUMMY HIDER – LOWER AB LAB
There’s no shame in the tummy-concealing game. If you don’t feel like full exposure, bask in these bevy of choices. Go for shirring or a peplum. Loose like a tankini or high-waisted color-blocking, whatever makes you feel like getting outside. Because the fun in the sun, darling, starts with you.
