Bathing Suit Style
Choose the Right Bathing Suit Style for Your Body
Bathing Suit Style for women – Hot in the sun or cool in the water, there’s a bathing suit style for your body. Here are Karen Brunger s tips to help you choose the right bathing suit style for your sexy, fit & fabulous body.
Bathing Suit Style for Your Body
A OR INVERTED TRIANGLE
If your body is narrower in the top area than in the bottom
DO: Keep diagonal lines on the bottom (higher cut legs) and horizontal lines on the top. A bandeau top would be great.
AVOID: A halter neckline, a boy-cut leg.
V OR TRIANGLE
If your body is larger on the top and narrower in the bottom
DO: Keep diagonal lines on the top and horizonal lines on the bottom. A halter neckline or plunging V iz great, as is a boy-cut leg.
AVOID: Horizontal lines on the top. A bandeau top or horizontal neckline will not work!
H OR RECTANGLE
If your body has a straighter or ruler-type silhuette
DO: Wear a one-piece maillot or a tank-tini with the wide scoop or horizontal neckline. Try horizontal lines in both the bust and hip areas. A boy-cut leg can work.
AVOID; Horizontal lines in the waist area.
X OR HOURGLASS
If your body has a very narrow waist in proportion to the bust and hips
DO: Wear diagonal lines in the bust and hip areas. This could be with a halter or plunging V neckline, and high-cut legs.
AVOID: Horizontal lines in the bust and hip areas.
STANDARD PROPORTIONS
If your body has standard or average proportions
DO: Have fun choosing from the variety of styles available!
SWIMMWEAR ACCESSORIES
HEIGHT
If you are tall, you are successful in larger scale details. A huge beach bag, large sunglasses, nd a long cover-up will match your proportions.
If you are shorter, you can scale down your accessories, and go for a more minimalist look.
SHAPES AND LINES
If your face and body are on the curvier side, you can incorporate curved shapes, flowing lines, and softer construction in your styles.
If angles and straight lines are dominant in your face and body, then you can incorporate angular shapes, straight lines, and crisper construction in your styles.
