An inverted triangle carries width through the shoulders and bust, with a narrower waist and slimmer hips below. It’s a strong, athletic frame, and the swimsuit goal is balance rather than correction, softening the upper body slightly while adding a bit of volume through the hips so the silhouette reads even from top to bottom. … Read more
A rectangle shape has shoulders, waist, and hips that sit at roughly the same width, which usually means a sporty, streamlined frame with less natural waist definition. That changes the whole swimsuit conversation. The goal isn’t fixing anything, it’s adding shape through detail, so the silhouette reads with a bit more curve. The best swimsuits … Read more
An apple shape usually carries its weight through the bust, ribcage, and midsection, with slimmer hips and often beautiful, defined legs. That combination changes what actually works at the pool. The goal isn’t hiding the midsection, it’s redirecting attention to the neckline and legs while giving the torso support and a bit of shape. The … Read more
