Choosing your swimsuit according to your body shape

There's a swimsuit for every figure. Slim or curvy, generous or more discreet bust and hips, when choosing your swimsuit, the important thing is to know your body type. A, V, inverted V, H, O, X? Which letter of the alphabet does your body type correspond to?

Which swimsuit for an A-shaped, triangle or pyramid body shape?

This silhouette is characterized by hips that are slightly wider than the shoulders. Your priority is to draw attention to your upper body. To do this, opt for a two-piece swimsuit. If you have a smaller chest, choose a padded or push-up bra, or a model with ruffles or frills. If you have a larger chest, a bandeau style will show it off better. In any case, to highlight your beautiful shoulders, always choose models with thin straps. For the bottom of your swimsuit, avoid low-rise styles, panties that cover too much, and boyshorts. Instead, opt for high-cut styles, which will also give you endless legs!

For this body type we love the Gigi bra or the Leia bandeau with the Leandra panties

V-shaped morphology, inverted triangle or inverted pyramid

The opposite of the A-line silhouette, the V-shaped silhouette is characterized by broad shoulders and a narrow hips. For these silhouettes, generally sporty in appearance, the primary goal is to add glamour. To achieve this, opt for a two-piece swimsuit with a push-up bra if you have a small bust. If, on the other hand, your bust is rather generous, choose a balconette bra or a triangle shape. For the bottom of your swimsuit, opt for patterns and stripes to highlight your hips, and avoid low-rise styles that tend to flatten the silhouette. One-piece swimsuits are possible, but avoid sporty styles. Instead, opt for deep necklines to enhance your bust!

For example, the one-piece Nora, Bronte , or the Leandra panties with the Deluca top

H or rectangular morphology

If your figure is characterized by shoulders and hips of equal width, and a slightly defined waist, you have an H-shaped body. Your goal will be to break up its androgynous side a little by choosing a very feminine swimsuit. If you like two-pieces, opt for models with a push-up bra and avoid square necklines, which accentuate the shoulders. For the bottom of the swimsuit, avoid low-rise waists. Instead, focus on seduction, with high-waisted briefs. If you like the retro style, opt for ruffled bottoms, perfect for accentuating the hips and adding a very flattering touch of glamour. As for one-piece swimsuits, consider trikinis, models with very low cut sides, halfway between the one-piece and the two-piece. This very original swimsuit is often embellished with daring cutouts, which will suit you perfectly!

For an H-shaped body, why not the Deluca top with the Leandra panties or the Alice one-piece?

O-shaped or round morphology

This body type is characterized by a curvy silhouette, with curves distributed all over the body, and a slightly defined waist. The one-piece swimsuit is the best choice to highlight your curves. You have a nice neckline, so make the most of it! For good support, choose a model with an underwired bra or with a band under the bust. Swimsuits with a plunging neckline are made for you, as they add great sensuality to the silhouette. The bottom of your swimsuit should not be too low-cut, to avoid marking the body without slimming the waist. If you want to hide a slightly round belly and have a more defined waist, the right option is a shaping swimsuit. If you like two-piece swimsuits, you can go for the pin-up style by adopting a high-waisted swimsuit for a charming retro look!
