Swimsuits that make you look skinny for every body type
1. The Perfect Pear
If you are pear-shaped, you are smaller on the top and curvy in the hips and thighs. So what you need to look for is a swimsuit that balances your proportions and gives you more coverage on the bottom half.
Style tip: Look for swimsuits with plunging neckline which draws the eye upwards to your perky curves, or a full skirt which gives you more coverage over your hips and thighs. These swimsuits will make you look skinny and stylish!

2. The Opulent Oval
If you are oval-shaped, your bust will be your largest measurement. Look at swimsuits with more support such as suits that have built in underwire and removable padding. You also want to look for a simple style on top so you don’t draw attention to your chest.
Style Tip: For additional support look for thicker straps or adjustable bra style bikinis to ensure you have the support you need. Suits with underwire are often sized in the same ways as bras so look for the same support as you would when shopping for a bra.
Remember that you can often mix and match to find your ideal combination and therefore mix and match to create a variety of swimsuits that makes you look skinny, just like these stunning options:

3. Sexy and Straight
If you are lucky enough to have a straight figure your measurements will be the same throughout the bust, waist and hips. This is often paired with being petite. Do not be afraid to show off with more revealing elements!
Style Tip: If you have a small bust such as an A or B you will not require as much support, so you can look for styles that are more revealing or with embellishments on the bust.
