Looking at the previous posts on swimsuits by Westwood, I have to admit every piece looks really nice (although I'm not sure if I would ever wear a bikini unless I want to kill everyone else on this planet). But face it, as much as we like it, we can't buy them all.. Not only is it unpractical (we live in Malaysia!), not all swimsuits fit us. And that, girls, is the main point of this topic. Choosing the right swimsuit for yourself. Everyone is different; height, size, body shape,etc.. We may like a certain something, but if it doesn't fit us, there's no point in buying it. You won't ever wear it anyway. And even if you do, it would look totally wrong on you. So, today's post will teach you to choose the right swimsuit for yourself and look good! :)
The typical body types.
Pear-shaped.
⁃ This body type has rounded hips and bottom, and a wider waist than shoulders.
⁃ To create the illusion of having broader shoulders, choose one piece boatneck, racerback and tummy control swimsuits.
⁃ Don't be afraid to flaunt your tiny top half. Look for tops with paddings and under wire support. Tops that are ruffled, ruched, or draped are great for achieving a bustier look.
⁃ If you prefer 2-piece suits, choose patterned halter style tops with darker bottoms.
Apple-shaped.
• This body type is the inverted triangle shape. This means they have broader shoulders/upper body and slim legs and thighs.
• Choose swimsuits with a high-cut neckline to minimize the top, and emphasize the bottom.
• Also, tankini's with vertical stripes are a good choice as they create the illusion of a longer, more streamlined mid section.
• Dark colors and graphic patterns are great for bust minimizing options.
• For 2-piece suits, choose solid tops with printed bottoms
Slender/Athletic shape.
• The body type is long and lean with the same width at the shoulders, waist and hips.
• The main goal of this body type is to produce curves.
• A little padding on top can go a long way when it comes to creating curves, and a belted bottom adds definition to the waist and hips.
• Look for swimsuits that creates the look of a defined waistline.
Hourglass shape.
• Considered to be the perfect body shape; well defined bust, waist and hips.
• Any style of swimsuits is suitable for this body shapes.
• Try something that will show off your feminine curves.
Round/Oval shape.
• This body shape has a fuller bust and less-defined waist, with more narrow shoulders and thighs.
• Choose swimsuits that draws attention away from the midriff and tummy area.
• Try dark solid colors.
Others.
Short legs/torso.
• Find a suit that is cut high on the thigh. This makes your leg look so much longer. And if you have curvy hips, this cut will accentuate your smaller waist.
• Choose a solid bottom bikini with a printed top. This will draw the eye upward and give you a longer look.
• A solid, one piece suit with plunging neckline creates a continual, long appearance.
• Avoid boy shorts and skirted bikinis.
