Day 16...Sexy swimwear

Super summer swimwear

Whether you swim every week or you pop on a swimsuit for your annual holiday it is so important that you have the right shape for your body shape.

For many of us it is daunting to wear any swimwear as we feel exposed but trust me having the right swimwear for your body shape will make you not only look great but feel great too.

I have selected my Top 5 swimwear pieces for each body shape to guide you through.

The Hour Glass

Show those curves ladies, the hour glass is the body shape where it loves showing its shape. Whether you are a curvaceous or slim hour glass make sure we see those curves.

This Ted Baker 2 piece is lovely for this body shape, the high waisted brief creates a super curve for the lower body and the halter neck top gives structure to the bust, accentuates the shoulders and draws the eye upwards to the neck area to ensure the hour glass shape is defined.

The Pear

For the Pear shape it is all about rebalancing the lower body with the upper body.

This lovely halter neck swimsuit from La Redoute at £29.00 is perfect. The higher leg will make your legs look longer and slimmer and the halter neck really makes the shoulders look amazing. By drawing the eye to the shoulders you instantly rebalance the lower body and what a fabulous colour.

The Slender/Athletic

The slender/athletic is a naturally angular body shape, it is also known as the boyish, rectangular body shape, you need to create the curves.

This ‘Get the Label’ bikini at £14.99 is wonderful. The bikini top has a stunning detailing on the bust area which will make the bust area appear larger and therefore creating shape to the upper body. The little tie in the centre also draws the eye to a focal point.

To create the curve for the lower body this bikini bottom, again has detailing on the waist band accentuating the waist and the super ties on the side create the width for the lower body.

The Apple

This super tummy control swimsuit from M & Co at £28.00 is perfect for the apple body shape. The apple body shape carries their weight on the tummy area and has great arms and legs.

This swimsuit has added control in the tummy area to help hold the tummy in and create a sleek line. Also, the additional movement at the waist helps to illusionise this area.

The pretty teardrop detail on the bust area also keeps the structure to the overall body shape by giving a focal point to the upper body.

 

The Top Heavy

For the top heavy body shape it just loves plunge necklines. The plunge neckline creates space from the base of the chin to the top of the bust which gives the bust more shape and definition.

This swimsuit from Jasper Conran at Debenhams is £42.00 and perfect for this body shape. The cobalt blue and the animal print will also inject the moderness for your summer beach look.

lots of love
