Swimwear Tips For Pear Shaped Figure
We all want to look and feel confident in our swimwear whatever body shape we are.
Pear-shaped bodies are those with larger hips and slimmer or narrow shoulders. This body shape is really common, and pear shaped women are typically a larger dress size in terms of their lower body proportions.
Here are some tips to help you choose flattering swimwear to compliment the pear shaped body.
For a pear body shape, our swimwear specialists advise…
- Go for something with a little detail around the bustline. This will draw the attention upwards and away from your hips.
- Choose decorative necklines that are eye catching, to help draw the eye upwards if you are a pear shape.
- Try a padded bikini top or push up bikinis to enhance your bust's natural curves and draw attention away from wide hips.
- Wear a two piece so you can get the the bra size for the top and dress size for the bottoms to fit your size.
- Darker bottom halves with patterned/printed tops will flatter your bottom.
- Stick with larger prints with dark-coloured bases for a pear body shape.
- Try hipster bottoms so that they don’t emphasise your bottom or wider hips.
- Choose tie side briefs as this helps to eliminate hip bulge around your bottom half.
Swimwear Recommendations For A Pear Shaped Figure
- Go for something with a little detail around the bustline to flatter a pear shaped body. This will draw the attention to the upper body and away from your bottom half.
- Choose decorative necklines to help draw the eye upwards for a pear shaped body type. The elaborate yet minimal detail across the chest of this plunge swimsuit adds interest, and the streamlined effect of the swimsuit helps to smooth the body and show a well defined waist. Although this style has adjustable waist ties, it does come down further on the hips for extra coverage.
- Wear a two piece so you can get the the bra size for the top and dress size for the bottoms to fit your size. A bikini is great if you like to combine coverage with revealing necklines.
- Stick with larger prints with dark-coloured bases for a pear body shape.
