Your body type is important to consider when shopping for all clothing and swimwear. Whether it be a new pair of jeans, an evening dress, or a bikini, it's essential to know what looks good for your shape.
So what kind of bikini style should you be looking for when shopping for a new bikini ? Anne Cole has many stylish bikinis that are sure to fit every shape and size perfectly. In this guide, we'll explore how to know what body type you have, what bikini is best for your body type, and how to flatter your shape to feel gorgeous and confident in the skin you're in.
Before we dive into bikini shopping, we first need to define your body shape. When it comes to your body shape, it's always good to take measurements of your silhouette before shopping for any new clothing or swimwear.
Let's break down some of the common body types you may be able to identify with. These illustrations from Healthline are a good reference point to understanding the different body shapes.
There are typically around five body types but in reality, not everybody is going to exactly fit the mold provided. Some of the common shapes are hourglass, apple, triangle, and pear.
However, as you can see from the images above, there are lots of different shapes, such as the bottom hourglass–an extension of the hourglass shape–the inverted triangle, diamond, and athletic.
With all these different body shapes, that can make it a little more challenging to know the best swimsuit for your body type . To find the perfect fit, keep in mind that you should also follow our swimsuit size guide . So what is the best bikini for your body type? We've grouped the shapes above to showcase which swimsuits would suit each body type.
The hourglass body type, a shape made iconic by Marilyn Monroe, is one that resembles that of an hourglass, whether the top, bottom, or both. With that in mind, there are a few types of bikinis that would work well for this shape.
A halter bikini and high waisted bikini bottoms are a great way to compliment an hourglass figure because they help define your silhouette and curves to the fullest. Whether you opt for straps or strapless, it’s important to find a bikini that cuts as close to the waistline as possible to pull in the waist and accentuate those curves.
Any bikini that has a sweetheart neckline is a great way of showing off a top hourglass. For more support and comfort, pick a bikini with straps. Our bright floral halter bikini on the left above is a great option and a popular one amongst our collections. A bandeau style is also a good choice.
Our customers love these bikinis for curvy bodies. Take a look at what one customer has to say:
Beautiful bathing suit fits me perfectly. I love it. Love it soo much, I want another one. I did the same with two of their bathing suits!!!!
Fabric is wonderful, and the style is great!!!!
For the apple body shapes, a mix of top and bottom bikinis styles will showcase the figure in the best way.
We love this bikini’s twist front and plunging neckline combined with ample cup coverage to help show off the generous top of the apple shape. Thick straps and underwire can help keep everything supported whilst adding length to your shape.
High waisted bottoms are a go-to but anything that cuts off a little higher at the hip will help define your silhouette and draw away from the tummy area.
Mixing and matching your bikini sets are a must and who says you have to cover up when it comes to fuller body shapes? Shop our plus size swimsuits and don’t be afraid to show off!
Whether you're an inverted triangle or a traditional triangle shape, your bikini could focus on highlighting and adding volume to the bottom of the triangle.
A halter neck is a great option for triangles, particularly as it draws in the top and a flowy skirted swim bottom perfectly compliments this.
For inverted triangles, scoop neck bikini tops are more suitable. The scoop in the neckline and the straps that sit on the shoulders will show off all the right places in this area. It’s good to pair this one up with a swim skirt to give more volume to the bottom.
Many of our customers love the center front beaded bikini tops and halter top style. See what one of our customers has to say.
Beautiful as usual.. just not my favorite one. It fits great, true size, it matches perfectly with the fold over bottom with the same pattern.
The typical athletic body will combine broad shoulders with a straight silhouette. With that in mind, it's good to pick a style that's going to help compliment the shoulders without drawing too much attention to them.
A v-neck cut is a great way to draw attention away from the shoulders and to also provide more volume around the chest.
Thin straps can also help highlight the best features of an athletic body type. The above options are great for finding a flattering swimsuit that will define your silhouette to give that definition you need.
Those who have a pear body shape can benefit from bikinis that have a significant high-cut to the legs or follow the shape of the hips. For the top half, it's all about creating a flattering silhouette from the waistline. Halter necks swim tops are a good way to define your features while showing off your curves.
Any bikinis that have string ties or straps are a great way to flatter the pear or bottom-heavy body shapes. The side tie swim bottoms above are a great example of how you can show off your legs. Bikinis that cover the thigh like the one on the left, help to provide a more subtle pear shape.
For a top apple shape or if you have a fuller bust, then it's important to focus on creating a neckline with your bikini top. A high neck bikini top with keyhole detail is a great choice for those with this body shape. Thicker straps are also important for top-apple body types with larger busts . Over-the-shoulder straps give support and comfort to all those who need a secure fit.
The scoop, square, or bandeau style provide the right balance up top and these are flattering necklines that are going to bring support and coverage for those who prefer it.
Opt for bold prints, such as stripe bikinis or floral bikinis , in order to blend your silhouette and to draw attention to this beautiful body type.
So what bikini top is best for you? Hopefully, we've given you a good indication of what to look for. However, when you start your search for the perfect bikinis, make sure to bring this cheat sheet along with you.
We've highlighted some of the key design features that you should be looking out for when it comes to picking the right type of bikini for your body shape. But as we always say, the most important feature of any swimsuit or bikini is the ability to make you feel confident. If you’re needing a swimsuit reset , don’t be afraid to take this guide along with you. Here is a table to highlight what type of bikini features to look for:

The above mentioned article explains in detail on various body shapes of women .
Generally speaking, a Bikini is a two-piece swimsuit that covers female crotch, buttocks and breasts . The amount of body coverage can vary widely, from a string bikini with very little coverage to a full design with maximum coverage .
Come let us explore different types of Bikini a woman should try based on the body shape. This article will give a fashion guide on how to pick the perfect bikini according to your shape .
A string bikini is also called as Stringkini . It gets its name because of the string in its design. The string bikini consists of two triangular shaped pieces connected at the crotch but not at the sides, where a thin "string" wraps around the waist connecting the two parts.
The rear coverage of string bikini bottom can have minimal to a maximum coverage of a woman's buttocks .
String bikini is the best fit for Hourglass -shaped women.
Fat women having heavy breasts and thighs .
A Monokini is also called as Unikini . And it is more commonly referred to as a topless swimsuit . Monokini is a women's one-piece swimsuit equivalent to the lower half of a bikini .
Monokini is the best option for women who prefer to take sunbathe topless can simply wear the bottom part of a bikini .
The monokini led the way into the sexual revolution by emphasizing a woman's personal freedom of dress .
Monokini is the best fit for women with small or normal size breast .
Since it’s topless it’s not suitable for women having heavy breasts .
A Microkini is also called as Micro Bikini . It is an extremely skimpy bikini as it typically covers only the genitals of women. As the fabric only covers the genitals , women must remove or trim the pubic hair .
Very exposing Microkini variations may have a simple thread to keep things covered enough! Women who have loads of guts can only wear this in public!
Microkini is best fit for women with the normal or heavy bust .
In the world of haute couture, Trikini is known as “a handkerchief and two small saucers” . A Trikini has got a bikini bottom with a stringed halter of two triangular pieces of cloth covering the breasts .
In short, Trikini is a three-piece garment i.e. T wo Triangular Pieces of fabric covers the breasts and a bikini bottom .
A bandeaukini is also called as Bandini . It consists of a Bandeau Top (Tube Top) , with no straps worn with any bikini bottom .
Bandeaukini Sensuous and elegant , this style is more revealing than the usual ones.
Women with Inverted triangle or Hourglass body shape .
A Tankini is a boon for women who feel shy and won’t want to expose their bust more in public. In short, it’s a decent bikini variation .
The tankini is a swimsuit combining a tank top , mostly made of spandex-and-cotton and a bikini bottom . The tankini top extends downward to somewhere between just above the navel and the top of the hips .
Tankini swimwear comes with high neckline, padded pushup bra for support and shape . Adjustable shoulder straps offer you a custom fit .
Front ruched in the waist works very well in tummy control , which hides any imperfection or flaws.
The Skirtini is a combination of a bikini top and a small skirted bottom . In skirtini, the skirt is a bit shorter than the average skirt. So, it’s sexier than the normal skirt type .
With high coverage and a modest silhouette , the skirtini is a must-have for every water baby.
The high neck bikini reveals less than a usual bikini . The upper half of the bikini is a high neck tube that covers most of the bust with bikini bottoms . It is a good pick if your swim has a lot of sports and surfing included and keeps you comfortable and covered aptly.
The Sling Bikini is also known as Slingshots . It provides very little coverage and women must have guts to wear in public .
This bikini has straps going around the neck, down the back and along the midriff keeping both sides of the torso bare. It is generally Deep V-Neck G-String thing slingshot design.
Exotic Micro Slingshot covers only nipples and genitals .
High waist bikini high-cut legs with a figure-flattering pleated front panel hide the imperfections you don’t prefer to show.
For women who are not very fond of revelling their waistline but still love wearing bikinis, this has been a boon. The bikini bottom has a high waist and sits above the navel covering the entire waistline.
It’s a great pick if you have post-pregnancy stretch marks and still coming back to shape!
Hope you have an overall idea on what swimwear suits better for your body type.
