The Best Swimwear To Suit Your Shape

Let’s talk summer swim…

 

Prep to feel your very best self this swim season as we guarantee finding your perfect swimwear fit will be easier than ever thanks to this guide!

 

Shopping by shape means you’ll know exactly what you’re looking for when it comes to adding to bag.

No matter your shape, style or summer swim vibe – here at PrettyLittleThing we’ll have a next level look to suit.

 

Pear Shape

Similar to the fruit, pear shaped bodies tend to carry more on the bottom half, think hips, bum & thighs.

Keep the comfort by accentuating your top half.

Opt for high cut bottoms 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 sports luxe trend.

Think on point one piece swimsuits!

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

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 a easy go-to when shopping for fuller bust swim.

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

Spoiler, fabric is key!

Simply search for crinkle, waffle or seersucker fabric then scroll your options.

This style of swim is great if your sizing switches regularly.

Bold or statement prints are also a true gamechanger when it comes to feeling a little self conscious.
