How to choose the right swimwear?
This summer, your swimsuit goes wherever you do : from relaxing beach days to active swims in the waves. But how do you choose the perfect swimsuit for a flawless summer look? Choosing the right swimsuit depends on two key factors : your body shape and your skin tone. Here's your complete guide to finding the best swimsuit for you.
Best swimsuits by body shape
Every woman's body shape is unique, and that's what makes it beautiful. There's no such thing as a "perfect" body, but choosing the right swimsuit for your body type can enhance your natural silhouette, highlight your best features, and help you feel confident in your swimwear.
Swimsuit for a large bust
A fuller bust can be beautifully enhanced with the right swimsuit. The key is choosing styles that offer both support and shape. A one-piece swimsuit with a V-neckline helps balance volume and creates a flattering, feminine silhouette. If you prefer a two-piece, a supportive bikini top works just as well, opt for underwire styles that provide structure and lift. Wide straps and full-coverage cups ensure all-day comfort while enhancing your natural shape with confidence.

Swimsuit for a small bust
Self-conscious about a small bust? There’s no need to worry, many swimsuit styles are designed to enhance it. Padded, balconette, and push-up bikini tops help create the appearance of a fuller bust and a more defined, feminine silhouette. A well-fitted triangle or bandeau top is also a great option, as most styles work beautifully with a smaller bust. You can also opt for a high-cut one-piece swimsuit to highlight your neckline and elongate your silhouette.

Swimsuit for wider hips
Looking to balance wider hips? The goal is to create a more defined silhouette by highlighting the waist and drawing attention to the upper body with details such as ruffles, ties, or statement prints. For this A-shaped body type, it is best to choose a more understated bikini bottom, such as a solid color or a two-tone style. A high-waisted bikini bottom is an ideal option for wider hips, as it softens their appearance while creating the illusion of longer, slimmer legs. On the other hand, it is best to avoid shorty bikini bottoms, as they can make the hips appear wider and visually shorten the silhouette.

Swimsuit to flatter the tummy
If you want to conceal a small tummy, a one-piece swimsuit is a reliable choice. It becomes even more flattering when you opt for darker colors, which help visually slim the silhouette. It is best to avoid horizontal stripes, as they can widen the appearance of the silhouette, as well as ruffles and frills placed around the midsection. Instead, these details are better positioned on the shoulders to draw attention to the upper body. High-waisted bikini bottoms are also a very trendy option to flatter the tummy area while remaining sexy and elegant, with a subtle retro touch.

Which swimsuit color for your skin tone and hair color?
Now that you know which swimsuit styles suit your body shape, it’s time to focus on color. Whether you are blonde or brunette, with fair or tanned skin, choosing the right swimsuit color can enhance your natural complexion and overall look. Here are a few tips to help you find the most flattering swimsuit colors based on your skin tone and hair color.
Which swimsuit colors for blondes with fair skin?
Good news for those with porcelain skin: there is no need to hide or rely on tanning to achieve a beautiful look. On the contrary, fair skin is very flattering when enhanced with the right swimsuit colors. Fair skin tones are best complemented by swimsuits in cool and deep shades such as navy blue or black. Emerald green and purple also work beautifully, especially for redheads, as they enhance natural contrast and bring out the complexion. On the other hand, light shades such as white, yellow, beige, and pastel tones tend to accentuate the paleness of fair skin and can be less flattering. Bright colors like orange, and especially neon shades, are also best avoided, as they can create too strong a contrast and dull the complexion.

Which swimsuit colors for brunettes and tanned skins?
If you are a brunette, you likely have a tanned or deeper skin tone, especially after a few hours at the beach. Lucky you: almost every swimsuit color suits you. Bright shades or pastels, warm tones such as red or cooler shades like blue, very few colors clash with darker skin tones. You can also easily wear prints, whether small or bold, to enhance your summer look. If you have very dark or black skin, it is best to avoid very dark colors, as a tone-on-tone effect may not highlight your silhouette. Instead, bright colors such as lemon yellow or apple green are ideal for enhancing deep skin tones. You can also dare to wear a white bikini to create contrast and highlight your complexion on the beach.

Different body shapes
A-shaped body type (hips wider than shoulders)
With more defined hips, the goal is to draw attention to the upper body to create a more balanced silhouette. Opt for detailed bikini tops with ruffles, prints, or decorative elements, paired with more understated bikini bottoms.

V-shaped body type (shoulders wider than hips)
When the shoulders are broader than the hips, the idea is to add volume to the lower body to balance the silhouette. Tie-side bikini bottoms, high-cut styles, and printed designs are especially flattering.
H-shaped body type (straight silhouette)
If the waist is not very defined, the goal is to create shape and add dimension to the silhouette. Swimsuits with cut-outs, belts, or textured fabrics help redefine the body lines.
O-shaped body type (curvier figure with a fuller tummy)
With fuller curves, it is best to choose styles that provide support and comfort while smoothing the silhouette. One-piece swimsuits and high-waisted bikini bottoms are particularly flattering.
X-shaped or figure-8 body type (defined waist)
When the shoulders and hips are balanced with a well-defined waist, most swimsuit styles naturally flatter the silhouette. The key is simply choosing a design that matches your style and desired level of support.
