Swimwear Tips For An Hourglass Figure

SWIMWEAR TIPS FOR The HOURGLASS FIGURE

Hourglass figures, or hourglass body shapes, are those that have balanced shoulders and hips that are about the same width, with a smaller waist. If you have an hourglass shaped body, you may have a fuller bust. Here are some swimwear tips for an hourglass body shape to accentuate your natural curves.

Our swimwear specialists advise…

Swimsuit Tips For The Hourglass Figure

Choose a swimsuit with all over colours and prints to keep you evenly balanced.
One-piece suits with details at the waistline to help emphasise the waist.

Bikini Top Tips For The Hourglass Figure

Choose a bikini top with underwire which adds support for the breasts.
Full cup bikinis that give good coverage.
A halter neck bikini top or halter neck tankini can be flattering.
Choose broader, adjustable straps as this adds support.

Bikini Bottom Tips for The Hourglass Figure

Choose high waisted bikini briefs to cover the tummy but still show off your waist.
Details on the bikini bottomd can emphasise the curvy figure.
Bikini briefs with a different colour trim or band at the waistline can help to emphasise the waist.

General Tips For Choosing Swimwear For The Hourglass Figure

Vintage styles often suit hourglass shaped women.
When wearing a bikini, match the bikini top and the bikini bottom to maintain balance.
Avoid mix and match tops and bottoms as different colours can make your body look disproportional.
Dramatic prints or ruffles are good for accentuating your curves.
For a slimmer looking silhouette, choose darker colours.
Horizontal stripes widen the shoulders and, if paired with matching bottoms, draw emphasis to the narrow waist.
Choose all over colours and prints to keep you evenly balanced.
