Dreaming of holiday plans? We’re sharing the best swimwear for 2024.
No matter your style, body shape or overall swimwear vibe – we’ll have a swim look for you.
Let’s start by answering some of your most searched questions!
What is the most flattering swimsuit?
This all depends on your figure, similar to any outfit – different styles will suit different body shapes and heights.
First up, you’re going to want to figure out your body shape (or the closest category you’d fall into).
We’ve done the hard work for you and rounded up the most common body shapes and what the key standouts are (you’re welcome).
Pear Shape
You guessed it – similar to the fruit, pear shaped bodies tend to carry more on the bottom half.
Think hips, bum & thighs.
When shopping for pear shape swim, keep the comfort by accentuating your top half.
Are high leg swimsuits flattering? Yes, particularly for pear shaped figures!
Opt for high leg swimwear that will lengthen the leg whilst highlighting the waist.

Athletic Frame
If you have a straighter frame with less curves, so a more muscular frame then embrace the mico bikini trend.
Or, if wanting to create more shape, simply opt for high waisted bottoms as they will sit at the most narrow part of the body allowing an hour glass illusion.
Tie side bikini’s are also perfect when it comes to enhancing curves.

Fuller Bust
What type of swimsuit is best for large bust?
Similar to when shopping for lingerie, support is key for fuller busts.
Try to shop for swimwear that features more supportive fastenings such as clips rather than tie back tops.
Underwiring is also an easy go-to when shopping for fuller bust swim.

Hourglass
Prep to accentuate both your top and bottom! Bikini’s are the ultimate go-to for hourglass shapes.
Mix and match your options and if feelin’ it why not jump on the viral Tik Tok thong bikini?

Smaller Bust
Enjoy the freedom of not worrying about additional support!
Classic triangle tops are a timeless option when it comes to summer swimwear.
Frills, ruffles and texture are also a clever way to add volume to your chest, if wanting to do so too.

Tummy Control
Are crinkle swimsuits flattering? Absolutely yes and fabric is key to this!
Simply search for crinkle, waffle or seersucker fabric then scroll your options.
This style of swim is also great if your sizing switches regularly.
Bold or statement prints are also a true gamechanger when it comes to feeling a little self conscious.
