Good day fine reader, nice to welcome you here to a new class of Dutch Designers Outlet her Lingerie and Swimwear expert. Do you also find it so difficult to find a bikini that fits you well? We totally get it. Finding the one bikini that conquers beaches (or at least makes you comfortable by the pool) is no easy task because the choice is quite diverse. Just to throw some on: bandeau bikini top, the triangle or a halter bikini with underwire....
Just know, this mission is not impossible! In fact, in this blog I will give you the tips so that you will find that perfect bikini that suits you.
Which bikini fits my figure? Tips & Tricks
To find out which bikini suits your figure well, it is important to know what body figure you have. I wrote about it before in the blog "Which bikini makes you slim?". Not every body is the same and that is precisely what makes you so unique. This is a quick guide to learn what body type you have and what swimwear to wear with it.
Bikinis for an apple figure
Are you a little wider around your waist than your hips and breasts? Then you probably have an apple figure. The trick is to create an optical balance. Look for bikinis with high-waisted bottoms. That's a bikini bottom that sits high on the hips. This will draw attention upward and put the spotlight on your beautiful legs. A halter top can also work wonders. This one draws attention to your shoulders and face.
Bikinis for a Pear Figure
Wider at the hips and waist than at the breasts and shoulders? Then you undoubtedly have a pear figure! A pear figure is very similar to a triangle figure. The difference is that someone with a triangle figure has a narrower waist. With this type of figure, you want to accentuate the upper body.
You can do this by wearing a top with ruffles or bold prints. These bikini tops will emphasize your upper body and if you match it with a triangle top, it's all over. This new best friend adds more volume to the torso and creates a balanced silhouette.
Bikinis for an hourglass figure
Do you have equal sized breasts and hips with a narrower waist? Your body type is the classic hourglass figure. Congratulations!!! You can wear almost any type of bikini. Do you want to accentuate your curves? Then a bikini bottom with a high leg cut will be the best option. As an hourglass figure, it doesn't really matter what kind of bikini top you wear. It is just what you find comfortable and beautiful. Feel free to choose a bikini top that emphasizes deep cleavage or a charming bandeau bikini paired with a pareo as a dress so you can order a cocktail at the beach bar in stylish beachwear.
By the way, did you know that most bandeau bikini tops are also strapless? No straps over the shoulders also means you don't have to worry about tanlines.
Bikinis for a straight body
Do you now have little difference between the size of your breasts, waist and hips? Don't worry! There are plenty of options that add shape. Go for push-ups, prints, cut-outs and anything with texture. That way, you'll show everyone that a figure with straight lines can be just as sexy.
What does the color of your bikini say about you?
Now that we know which bikini best suits your figure, you still need to determine the color of the bikini. The color of your bikini says something about who you are, without putting your money where your mouth is. Do you go for a bold statement with a bright color? Or do you prefer to stick to a classic black bikini? Not sure yet? Then read on for some tips on finding the right color.
Bright colors
Are you putting on your finest neon halter bikini? Yes, you are the center of the party! You are not afraid of spotlights. Because these colors say "here I am". You are confident and energetic. Plus, of course, your tan matches this brightly colored bikini perfectly. Totally ready for summer.
Pastel shades
Are you going for pastel shades? Then you are choosing a subtle yet powerful statement. This bikini doesn't have to be "loud" to be noticed. Just as shorts scream much less than mini bikini bottoms. Perhaps you are more understated, but with an undeniable depth. You love tranquility, beauty and sophistication. In this bikini, you are ready for a soothing summer.
Black or white bikinis
Ah, the classics. Black says "elegant, mysterious and timeless." It is the little black dress of bikinis. White, on the other hand, screams "fresh, pure and innocent." Both are perfect for those who want to make a statement. The effect of these colors in clothing is to say, "I know who I am and have nothing to prove."
Flowers and tropical prints
Summery, cheerful and always up for a good time. Does this sound familiar to you? Then you are probably optimistic and sociable. You wear your heart on your sleeve. That is why your bikini also radiates that you enjoy life. Choose bikinis with flowers and tropical prints, they are a go-to for you.
Bikini outfits to style
Now that you have chosen a bikini, you can still turn it into a great beach outfit. This is all about the details. How do you get those? Right, accessories! Put on eye-catching sunglasses and choose your prettiest beach dress made of nice breezy fabric. Don't forget your beach bag too, filled with all your essentials for a day at the beach. Pair this with cute beach sandals and you're all set for your day out.
