Swimsuit shopping doesn't have to be stressful. Once you know which details flatter your shape, it's easy to find a suit you love. Here's how to choose a swimsuit for your body type, with style ideas for every shape.
If you want a defined waist
Cross-wrap and cut-out one-pieces draw the eye to the waist. Ribbed fabric adds texture and a smoothing feel.
If you want more support up top
Square necklines and wider straps give a supportive, structured look while still feeling modern.
If you love a high-waist look
High-waist bikini bottoms are a favorite for a retro shape and extra coverage at the tummy, while still letting you enjoy a two-piece.
If you want to highlight your shoulders
A one-shoulder suit creates an elegant diagonal line, perfect if you love showing off your shoulders and collarbones.
If you love a statement print
Bold prints and halter necks draw attention upward and make a confident beach-day statement.
Fit tips for a comfortable swimsuit
- Straps shouldn't dig in. Adjustable or tie straps help you get the right fit.
- Check the torso length on one-pieces: it shouldn't pull at the shoulders.
- Size up if you're between sizes in a one-piece.
- Move around: sit, bend and stretch when trying it on.
Swimsuit care
- Rinse in cool water after every swim.
- Hand wash with mild soap and lay flat to dry in the shade.
- Avoid wringing, tumble drying and rough pool edges.
