Which body type are you？
1. Inverted triangle
Your shoulders are wider than your waistline and hipline? You should be inverted triangle shaped.
Your goal: focus the attention on your legs and hips in order to balance your body shape.
My advices: your ideal swimsuit will have to enhance your legs and hips. Therefore, you can choose a low-leg style bikini in order to broaden your hips or a high-waisted bottom to accentuate your waistline.
If you have beautiful legs, you must definitelygo for a high-cut one-piece. This kind of swimsuit will enhance your legs and create the illusion of hourglass shape.
You may get some inspiration from Naomi Campbell or Cheng Lisha for example.
2. Rectangle morphology
Your shoulders, waistline and hipline are about the same size? Then, you must be rectangle shaped!
Your goal: create the illusion of defined curves and waistline.
My advices: choose a padded bikini because it will enhance your breast and make it look bigger. You can also go for a swimsuit with ties on the bottom part thus to create wider hips and give the illusion of a thinner waistline.
Olivia Wilde, Gwyneth Paltrow or even Nicole Kidman have this type of morphology, therefore you can get inspired by their styles!

If you are more comfortable with a one-piece swimsuit, you should choose one very colorful: it’s summer!
I advise you to avoid large garments, it will accentuate your body shape and it is not very elegant. If you want a better lift and support, you should get a bikini with higher straps.
