Apple

Top Heavy
If you’re a little bigger around the bust it’s important to emphasize your narrow waist with tannins and swimsuits with are cinched at the waist.  Also to really make the most of your assets try and avoid strapless or bandeau style tops.

Rectangle
Rectangular figures are straighter up and down, with neither area particularly bigger or smaller than the other. It’s therefore important to try and maximize your curves, opting for bikini bottoms with a little extra detailing like tie sides, or patterns to create the illusion of a fuller figure.

Hourglass
Those hourglass lucky ladies sizzle with their feminine curves and a well proportioned figure going in at the waist and out at the hips and bust. To really accentuate your curves, whilst keeping your top and bottom half in proportion opt for matching bikini sets in a single color or matching prints.

Pear
A pear shape can be recognized by a wide lower body and a slimmer upper body. Shoulders are narrow whilst the hips and thighs are a little broader. For the perfect swimwear for your shape choose patterns and detailing on the top half to draw attention up and avoid high cut bottoms.
