Find the right bathing suit for your body type...
Tuesday, July 27, 2010 @ 7:27 PM 0 comments!

Yes, I know that we're more than than halfway through bathing suit season, but it's never to late to find the right swimwear or your body -- whether you be figure-less or curvy.  And, contrary to popular belief, you don't need to have a model body--i.e. stick thin and flat abs--to wear a bikini.  I'm only covering a few of the most popular body types here, including my own [pear-shaped], but don't worry: there's something out there for everyone.


Pear-Shaped

Vix Swimwear Sun Ruffle Bikini
$77.50
  
shopbop.com 



 If you're heavier on the bottom and smaller on the top [like me], then you want to take the attention away from your hips and butt but adding ruffles (whether subtle or obvious) to your bikini top.   


Long Torso

Bantu High Waist Printed Bikini


$200


net-a-porter.com







If you're tall and/or have a rather long torso, you want to break it up with a wide bandeau top and high-waist bottoms.






Apple-Shaped


Lisa Curran Granada One Shoulder


$180


lisacurran.com





You can hide any tummy bulge with a black one-piece, and if you don't want to skimp on the sexiness you can wear a one-shoulder suit.  




Busty Babe


D&G Dolce & Gabbana Bikini


$133


store.dolcegabbana.com







This bikini top gives your fuller cups more coverage, while simultaneously showing them off with some rather obvious cleavage.  






Boy-Shaped


Tomas Maier Bikini


$192


thecorner.com





For those people who are straight-up-and-down, this bikini is perfect for creating curves (anything tops and bottoms that are busy will do).
