An informational infographic titled 'Choosing the Right Swimwear for Your Body Type' by Coral Secret, featuring six body type categories (Pear, Apple, Hourglass, Rectangle, Inverted Triangle) with corresponding swimwear focus tips and photos of a woman in a pink bikini on a beach.

The Right Swimwear for your Body Shape

  • Pear shapes usually carry more weight in the hips and thigh. The goal here is to draw attention upward and balance the lower half.
  • Apple shapes typically carry weight around the midsection, accompanied by slimmer legs. The main goal is to define the waist and softly smooth the middle. One piece designs generally work wonderfully for this figure.
  • Rectangle figures feature shoulders, waist, and hips of relatively equal width with an athletic. The aim is to create the illusion of curves and add shape to the waistline. Monokinis with side cut-outs break up a straight midsection instantly to simulate an hourglass curve.
  • Inverted triangle figures feature broader shoulders or a fuller bust paired with narrower hips and a less defined waist. The aim is to draw attention downward, soften the upper body. Deep V-necks, plunge tops, and asymmetrical single-shoulder straps break up horizontal chest width beautifully. 
  • Hourglass figures are balanced, featuring curves at the bust and hips with a defined waist. The aim is to emphasize those natural proportions. Avoid overly structured or loose fitting styles that hide your natural shape.
