Types of swimwear
There are only two types of swimwear: separate and one-piece. They ceased to be used only for tanning, and took first place - comfort and a sense of confidence in a miniature wardrobe item.
Separate swimwear is divided into 5 main types:
- Bikini (bikini). Open bathing suit, consisting of 2 elements: small panties and bra with thin straps. It was created for the owners of the perfect figure!
- Tankini (tankini). The bodice is made with a top. The model hides figure flaws: weighted hips and tummy.
- Bandeau (split bandeau). The name of the model comes from the French "bandeau", which means ribbon or headband. The bodice "wraps" the chest, as if with a ribbon, and folds and gathers visually increase the small volume. It comes with or without straps.
- Swimdress. Bottoms are complemented by a short skirt that hides the imperfections of the lower body.
- Halter (separate halter). The leotard straps are tied around the neck, which supports the chest well.
One-piece swimsuits are divided into 7 types:
- Mayo (mayo). Universal model with sewn-on straps, suitable for most types of figures.
- Tank (tank). The model is similar to the previous mayo, but with one-piece straps. She perfectly slims the figure!
- Halter (merged halter). The straps are tied or fastened around the neck. The model perfectly supports the chest, the shoulders appear visually wider, balances the full hips.
- Bandeau (fused bandeau). Strapless suit. The swimsuit visually adjusts the figure: shortens the elongated body and balances the full thighs.
- Plange. Suit with a deep cut, both front and back. The model visually enlarges the chest and lengthens the short torso.
- Monokini. One-piece swimsuit in a more extravagant, lightweight and open design.
- High neck. Sporty type with a small cut in front. The model visually lengthens the body.
Choosing a swimsuit by body type
In order to look irresistible in the chosen swimsuit, you need to choose it correctly, and for this you need to know your body type. It can be of 5 types:
- Apple. Large breasts, narrow hips, slender legs, the main volume (rounded and smooth) - on the stomach. With such data, you should emphasize the legs and visually lengthen the torso, and not focus on the stomach and chest. For such a figure, a halter swimsuit with ties on the neck is suitable. You can choose "tankini" (tankini) in the form of a T-shirt with a deep neckline and wide straps. Silhouettes with large cutouts on the hips slim legs, draperies and ruffles in the abdomen mask a wide waist. The material of the swimsuit should be elastic and tight, without shine, the bra cups should be underwired.
- Pear. Narrow shoulders, thin waist, wide hips, full legs. It is worth drawing attention to the top, and distracting from problem areas. The swimsuit should visually make the hips smaller and the shoulders wider for balance. For such a figure, separate and one-piece beach suits are suitable. In separate models, the bodice should be with thin straps (it will accentuate the arms and a graceful neck), and the swimming trunks should be wide (they emphasize the waist). The disproportionality of the silhouette is balanced by the draping of the bodice, foam inserts and ruffles. The flaws of the figure are emphasized: thin bikinis, swimming trunks with ties, panties with a skirt and a high cut on the thighs. Among the one-piece models, swimsuits with a wide band under the chest or a thin strap are suitable. The color of the suit should be contrasting - a light top and a dark bottom.
- Hourglass. The chest and hips are the same width, the waist is thin. Balanced bottom and top. Doesn't require any "distractions" and "camouflage" moments. A swimsuit of any style is suitable for such a figure, women will always look flawless. But a particularly beautiful waist will be emphasized by decorations on the bodice and swimming trunks: draperies, rhinestones, ties on panties. Bottoms and a top with narrow straps will accentuate the proportions of the figure. Although nature is not ideal, and with this type of figure, there are large and small chest sizes, short or elongated torso. For medium bust shapes, a strappy or strapless style is suitable. For curvaceous breasts - the bodice should be tied around the neck or be on wide straps. A short torso will visually lengthen the triangular neckline and high cut on the thighs, and long legs can be "shortened" with rounded cutouts on the sides.
- Rectangle. The hips and chest are at the same level, the waist is weak. The main task is to highlight the waist, separate the top and bottom to divert attention from the wide waist. Owners of such a silhouette should choose lowered swimming trunks with ruffles or strings, they externally increase the hips. It is preferable to find a classic bodice with shoulder straps or strings on the neck. Styles with a V-neck, high swimming trunks, wide bodices, cups without foam and thin shoulder straps will help smooth out imbalances. The feminine tankini models are most suitable. You should not choose wide swimming trunks with accessories (belts, skirts, ruffles), they will increase the volume of the hips and narrow the waist.
- Triangle. Broad shoulders, narrow hips, large breasts. When choosing a swimsuit, you need to divert attention from wide shoulders and draw to the hips. When choosing models of a swimming suit, you should give preference to models with wide straps. Drawings, asymmetrical ties, deep V-notches and vertical lines are welcome at the top of the one-piece version; bottom - flounces, ruffles, "skirt", decorated details, ties on the sides. Also, narrow hips adjust the swimsuit models with "shorts" and swimming trunks decorated with drawings.
Knowing your silhouette, you can present yourself favorably in a swimsuit, which magically emphasizes advantages and hides disadvantages.
Some features and tips for choosing a swimsuit

- For small breasts, the upper part of the leotard should be chosen with cups, prints, drapery, embroidery, decorative details, push up effect, which create the illusion of volume.
- If the tummy is too pronounced, then it is better to choose a one-piece swimsuit from a matte fabric, a dark color palette, with tightening inserts in the abdomen. The emphasis should be placed on the upper part, which should be bright and with a pronounced neckline.
