Swimwear: Tips from Benoa
No matter your body type, you can always find the perfect swimsuit—one that will flatter you and make you look your best. To do that, it’s important to know your body type. Here are a few tips!
If you’re on the slimmer side with a smaller bust, go for a triangle or padded bikini top that will flatter your bust. For the bottom, choose a low-rise, high-cut swimsuit. If you have a slim waist, rounded shoulders and hips of equal width (an “8” body shape), go for shiny fabrics, mismatched pieces… You’ll be spoiled for choice! For those with an A-shaped (triangular) body type, a bikini will be perfect for you. It will create a sense of balance in your silhouette. For the top, opt for a triangle bikini top that opens up and highlights your shoulders. Avoid one-piece swimsuits, which tend to make your legs look shorter. If you have curves, accentuate your bust with a V-neckline. Opt for black swimsuits, which create a sculpting effect. The one-piece swimsuit is also ideal for maintaining comfort thanks to its body-hugging fit.
When it comes to skin tone, light and vibrant colors are more flattering and will highlight the sun-kissed glow of darker skin, while dark colors will contrast with and enhance fair skin.
