Swimwear for an inverted triangle figure: balance your silhouette in style
An inverted triangle or V-shaped figure has shoulders wider than the hips. UV-protective swimwear lets you balance proportions, soften the shoulder line or celebrate a sporty, elongated silhouette. At Canopea, our one-piece swimsuits and two-piece bikinis in recycled ECONYL® fibre combine elegance, comfort and high UPF 50+ sun protection.
Choose a style that feels like you
To balance the silhouette, gently draw attention to the lower body. With a two-piece bikini, pair a simple top, such as a triangle top or a V-neckline that visually lengthens the torso, with printed bikini bottoms, bright colours or a higher-cut design to add dimension around the hips. For a one-piece swimsuit, try carefully shaped panels or prints positioned on the lower half to define the hips while softening the shoulder line.
Comfort and protection while swimming
All our women's UV-protective swimwear is UPF 50+ certified and blocks more than 98% of UVA and UVB rays without chemical UV filters. Our soft, stretchy technical fabric provides effective, lasting sun protection on covered areas while resisting chlorine and salt. For extra coverage during longer periods outdoors, pair your bikini bottoms with a women's UV-protective swim top. Remember to apply suitable sunscreen to exposed areas.
Choosing and caring for your Canopea swimsuit
Choose a cut that supports the bust securely without marking or compressing the shoulders. Mixing and matching your bikini lets you choose different sizes for the top and bottoms for a personalised fit. We recommend checking your measurements against our detailed size guide before ordering. After swimming, rinse your swimsuit thoroughly in fresh water and lay it flat to dry in the shade to preserve the fabric's suppleness.
Frequently asked questions
Which swimwear can balance an inverted triangle figure?
Try a simple bikini top with a V-neckline or fine straps to soften the shoulder line. Pair it with printed bottoms, side ties or high-waisted bikini bottoms to add dimension and structure to the lower body.
How can I tell whether I have an inverted triangle figure?
Your shoulders and upper body are noticeably wider than your hips and pelvis. The upper torso has an athletic appearance, while the waist and legs remain more slender, creating an inverted triangle outline.
