Flaunt Your Figure in Bikini Swimsuits

With the official start of summer, the bikini season begins. Before addressing it as a swimwear style we prefer to call it bikini. Because it is one of the most popular styles, thanks to its amazing appearance. Whether you want to sit by the pool or lay by the beach, it is the perfect swimwear for all your needs. No matter what your body type, colour or preference is, bikinis have a lot for you.

A bikini is a 2-piece swimsuit that has a top and bottom. Both come in many styles which allows you the pair for you. Plus, there are numerous designs and prints to choose from! All you have to do is figure out which sexy bikini dress would compliment you the best and let yourself loose by the pool.

Types of Bikini Swimsuits

1. Bandeau: You got it? Flaunt it! Bandeau bikinis are all about a strapless bathing top and tiny cheeky bottoms. It fits breasts like a band and is a great alternative when you don’t want those uneven tan lines. Although any woman can wear a bandeau bikini, it works best for women with that perfect hourglass figure.

2. Halter: A halter bikini top has no defined straps and is tied at the neck and back. It has a higher neck than your usual bikinis and looks uber chic, much different from other styles.

3. Balconette: Need a bikini set that accentuates your curves beautifully? Opt for the balconette bikinis! They are gradually earning great popularity as the wide-set straps give a chic look to the swimsuit while providing adequate support to the breasts.

4. Triangle: This hot bikini style is a true classic! It forms a triangle-like shape at the front and you are supposed to tie it at the back, similar to a halter neck. If minimal coverage is what you’re looking for, this is the bathing suit you should go for. Super sexy!

5. Off the shoulder: Have you always been a fan of those off-shoulder tops? It’s time you give this swimsuit a try! It is a great choice if you want to enjoy the similar perks of a usual bikini along with decent coverage.

6. Ruffle: If you prefer fun and flirty over hot and sexy, ruffle swimsuits are the ideal pick. They are really graceful & effortless and are sure to make you stand out. 

7. High waist bottoms: These bikini styles have taken the swimwear industry by rage lately. While high waist bikinis are best suited for curvy women, they are also becoming a real favourite of skinny women out there. Almost every woman now prefers the modesty and style offered by these high waist swimsuits.

Tips to Choose a Bikini

1. Consider your body shape: Every girl has a different body shape hence one bikini type can’t work for all. Always choose your bikini style as per your body type. On an hourglass body shape any bikini looks glamorous. Pear-shaped girls should go for high-rise, full-coverage bottoms, while apple-shaped girls go for high-rise and high-cut bottoms.

2. Choose patterns & prints wisely: Floral makes you look more feminine, while geometric makes you edgy & sophisticated. Ruffles add more drama, and straps & tie-ups raise the hotness quotient. Try different patterns & prints and choose what works best for you. 

3. Pick the right material: The correct material is the foundation of any swimsuit. Make sure the fabric is soft and moisture-wicking. It should wick away all the moisture quickly as soon as you get out of the water. At the same time, the fabric should be sturdy but flexible to sit on your curves perfectly while providing ample support. 

4. Fit: Make sure to find your true size. Also, your bikini should stay in place while swimming and other activities. While doing trials, run, jump, and move around to check the fit. 

Bikini For Every Body Type

When it comes to choosing a bikini that flatters your body type, there are a few key things to keep in mind. Here are some tips for finding the right bikini for your body type:

1. Pear-shaped: All pear-shaped divas, let’s understand how you can slay in bikinis. To accentuate your upper body go with a lighter top and darker bottom to create a more balanced look. Always go with a high-rise bottom to make your waist look smaller.

2. Apple-shaped: This body shape is just opposite to pear-shaped. The upper body is broad and the lower body is narrow. While styling a bikini for the apple-body type, be mindful of your upper body. Go with bikinis which have lighter bottoms and high-rise. For ample support go with underwired bikini tops.

3. Hourglass-shaped: Hourglass body shape is perfectly proportionate and any bikini looks good on them. Accentuate your natural curves with high-cut bikini bottoms and plunging necklines. 

4. Rectangular-shaped: Also known as athletic body shape, have fewer curves. So to make your body look in an hourglass shape, you need to create an illusion of curves. Opt for padded bikini tops and high-rise bikini bottoms to make your waist look smaller. Add dramatic cuts, figures, ruffles and straps to create more drama. 

5. Plus-sized: All plus-size divas go for bikinis which makes your natural curves more flattering. Go with high-rise bottoms to reduce bulges and smooth silhouettes, for bikini tops pick underwired tops.  

To know what works best for you have to try different styles. Choose a style that makes you feel confident and comfortable. 

Styling Bikinis for Beach & Poolside

Only choosing the best bikini style is not enough, mastering the styling game helps you create an undeniably hot look. Let’s have a look at some tips:
