By Faith Plus-sized bodies with curvy curves have more variation than those with straight bodies. Although all bodies are unique, the differences between them are greater on larger people. Although larger bodies have more complex body types, they are often exaggerated. While the basic body types and shopping tips are the same for all body types, plus-size shoppers might need some extra help when choosing the right swimsuit for their curvy bodies. Curvy Swimwear Australia offers a wide range of in a stunning array of styles. Let’s discuss how to find the perfect bathing suit for your curvy body and how to make sure you feel confident.
Hourglass
An “X” shape is sometimes used to refer to hourglass figures. This is the ideal body type. Models often sport an hourglass figure regardless of their slenderness or zaftig. Many styles and cuts of swimsuits look great on an hourglass figure. Your personal preferences and needs are the first consideration. What are your priorities when it comes to a swimsuit? Are you looking for a swimsuit that can be worn to the pool or just for relaxing.
Wrap styling at the waist makes an hourglass figure look stunning in a V neck swimsuit. You can find V-neck swimwear with a wrap design, or waist ruching, to highlight a beautiful figure in many different styles.
Apple
Your midsection is likely to be swollen, if you have little or no waist definition, you may be called an “apple” or “circle”. These body types are often described as having a large amount of weight and slender arms. Although a round body can look good in many swimwear styles, the blouson tankini is the best for apple bodies.
Tankinis will look great on an apple-type body. Bikini tops have a graceful fullness at your midsection and a well-fitted band around the hip to hold the silhouette. The tankini is a swimwear top. You can show off your legs with a short bikini bottom or keep it modest with a longer swim skirt.
Athletic
Plus-size buyers may be able to have an athletic body type. An “inverted triangle” is a type of athletic body that refers to someone with wider shoulders and slimmer hips. This basic body type is still common among former athletes, but it could also be due to genetics. Some women feel self-conscious about their larger shoulders. We encourage you to embrace your body and look your best.
Inverted triangle and athletic bodies look great in halter-neck swimwear. A halter-neck swimsuit with a built in bra will enhance your shoulders and bustline. A halter neck swim dress, or a swim separate with a longer skirt will help you achieve a flattering figure. A one-shoulder or bateau-neckline swimsuit is also great for those with athletic bodies.
Pear
The pear-shaped body type, also known as “triangle”, is one that is noticeably larger at the hips and thighs than their top. This body type looks almost like an hourglass and can be balanced with a molded cup bra. Pear-shaped bodies can wear many styles and cuts of swimsuits. The key to this body type is the use of color and patterns to balance it.
Any swimwear that enhances the bust will make someone with a pear body look and feel great, but you also have options for visual tricks to balance your figure. A sweetheart-neckline or V-neck suit might be a good choice. It draws attention upward. Visual balance can be achieved by wearing a bathing suit or tankini that has a splashy print on the top and neutral on the bottom. To visually balance your bottom half, you might consider wearing a longer swimsuit or swim capris. Your top half can sport a flirty bikini.
Banana
This is a body type, although it sounds strange. It’s also sometimes called a “rectangle shape”. It refers to figures with what my grandmother called “straight-up-and-down” and a relatively undefined waist. They also have similar (if any) bust and hip dimensions. If you want to create the illusion of a curvier body, a wrap-style, deep-V neck swimsuit, or a full-length, flowing swimsuit are all options. We are excited to share a new trend that features rectangle-shaped figures.
The perfect one-piece bandeau-style bathing suit for rectangle body shapes is the bandeau-style. Although it may seem counterintuitive at first, exposing your shoulders can create a wider look while flattering the hips with color and pattern. This will help you to look great and feel better. This is a different way to dress up a banana body type. But you might want to try it!
For everyone and everybody, fun in the sun!
Although there are many body types, these five are the most common. We hope this helps you to make your shopping decision. When shopping for the perfect bathing suit to fit curvy bodies, remember that the main thing is to feel great. Swimwear should be fun and exciting, regardless of whether they follow “rules”. We want to help you choose plus-size swimwear that suits all body types. However, we encourage you to be happy and comfortable. Happy women look great!
