Choosing a Bikini for Your Body Type

Bikinis are the most feared swimsuit. Immortalised in song, the yellow polka-dot bikini echoed the feelings associated with the garment. Now, it’s time for the fear to end! Even if you think you can’t wear a bikini, you probably can, if you just play up what you have and downplay what you don’t.

Small Breasts

Having small breasts may be what you like least about your body, but small breasts are what designers love. Teeny-tiny triangles are perfect for you’re A cups; the tinier the better. Larger women envy you because you don’t have to worry about support; you just have to worry about looking cute!
Here are some details to look for when buying a bikini top:

Look for tops that have a little extra padding to lift what you have and make it pop just a little more.

Buy bikini tops that have ruffles, sequins, or other decorations that add an extra bulk to your breast.

Tops that look like a band of scrunched fabric will make your breast look fuller.

Keep it small. Don’t swamp you breasts in too much fabric or you will look even smaller.

Large Breasts

Large breasts tend to have more problems than small ones when it comes to bikinis. Choosing one that gives just the right support is important. Here are some tips on how to find support and how to downplay.

Always buy bikini tops with underwire.

Try to find a top that offers full coverage to hold you in better.

Go for dark, solid colour tops.

If you are smaller on bottom, make sure your bikini bottoms are flashier and brighter than your top to make you have more of an hourglass figure.

Never buy a string bikini unless you want to fall out of it.

Halter type tops give the most support.

Small Bottom

If you wish you had a J-Lo or Beyonce booty, don’t worry. There are ways to give you more bounce for your ounce:

Thongs or more triangular bottoms will flatter better than brief type bottoms because if you cover up something that is small with lots of fabric it’s just going to look smaller.

Beading, ruffles, large designs, or bright colours make a visual illusion that your butt is bigger.

String bikinis flaunt that you have such a thin shape.

Large Bottoms

Take a page from the women who wish they had J-Lo or Beyonce booty and be happy that you have the body trend of the moment. If you still want to minimise your size, here are some tips to hide your ghetto booty.

Wear a dark, neutral colour on bottom and a brighter colour on top to draw attention away from your bottom.

Don’t buy bikini bottoms that have large patterns, bows, or any other attention drawing additions.

Buy full coverage bottoms; thongs are not for you.
