Apple Shape
If you tend to carry most of your weight in your stomach, look for a one piece with ruching, tiers, or tummy control to conceal the mid section. Pieces with a low-cut V-neck are especially flattering. If you are afraid of having a boring one piece, play it up with cute accessories because once you’re in the water, it only matters that you’re having fun!

Pear Shape
If your lower body is bigger than your upper body, look for ruffled tops to add volume where you need it! Make sure to stay away from boy cut shorts because they divide your body into awkward proportions.

Boy Shape
Your goal is to show as much skin as possible to accentuate even the smallest curves. String bikinis are great for this, especially ones with bright patterns!

Small Bust
Go for a bikini with padding, especially a triangle top. Avoid a bandeau style top because it will take away any volume! Drive the attention towards your bust with a funky patterned top paired with a monotone bottom.

Large Bust
The most important feature of your bathing suit is under wire support! Look for a halter-top with thick straps for maximum support. Dark solids are always a flattering choice, but don’t be afraid to be bold and go for bright geometric patterns as well.
