Bikini Tricks for your Body Shape!
We all have different bodies, and sometimes we are hesitant of wearing a bikini because of how it'll fit us.
What if instead of hiding our flaws, we take advantage of our body shape?
Check out these tips and tricks to make the best out of your experience next time you wear a bikini!
Start with your body shape, and follow the following tips to highlight the parts of your body that will favor your figure:
Hourglass (Opposing Triangles Shape):
Your bust and hips are about the same width, but your waist is way thinner.
What to wear?:
Because of your predominant curves, you can rock a strapless bikini! Play around with bright colors and prints, and experiment with different cuts on your bikini top to take advantage of your symmetrical figure.

Triangle (Pear Shape):
Your hips are wider than your waist and bust.
What to wear:
Select pieces that highlight or draw the attention to the top part of your body, and avoid highlighting the lower half. You can do this by trying on some ruffle tops and mixing prints and solid blocks of color. Always, keep the solid colors at the bottom and experiment with prints on top.

Inverted Triangle (Apple Shape):
Your waist is wider than your hips and equal to your bust.
What to wear?:
Try to draw the attention away from your tummy. Do this by focusing on your legs, chest, or neck. One-pieces will always be a great idea for this body type, but you don’t have to stay in the “classic” side; try experimenting with some V-necks to elongate the “top” of your body.

Straight Shape:
You are mostly thin, and there is not a big difference between your bust, waist, and your hips.
What to wear?:
You may want to try on a “trikini” or “monokini” to create the illusion of more curves in your body. Add some movement to your body by playing with raffles and layers, and take advantage of your body to enjoy those small string bikinis.
