Choosing the right swimsuit size is very important. If in ordinary life a blouse one size larger can be worn - no one will notice, then this will not work with a swimsuit. This is especially true for purchases on the Internet, since in most cases we are not able to try on the desired item.

Swimwear manufacturers follow one "measurement system", having studied which, you can safely buy any swimsuit without measuring. First of all, you need to consider four parameters: bust circumference, under bust circumference, waist circumference, hip circumference.

XS, S, M or L?
The most popular in Russia are the sizes S, M, L. However, you should not choose a swimsuit with such a dimensional mesh. Translated into numbers, XS in English means very small. In Russia it is 40-42 sizes. At the same time, the difference in one size for some girls is catastrophic - a swimsuit can slip, and beautiful breasts will look ridiculous.

The S size is where you can be sure of your size. In Russia, S is considered to be 44 size.
M is medium-sized clothing, and by Russian standards it is 46-48. Perhaps one more size that you can trust L. In the international size chart, L corresponds only to the only Russian size - 50.

If you do not want to bother and are looking for a free-cut model, then feel free to refer to the sizes of the international standard. However, when choosing a designer model, it is better to know your exact size.

One-piece swimsuit size
There is a stereotype that a one-piece swimsuit is worn exclusively by overweight girls. But that has long been in the past. Today, fashion designers make amazing one-piece swimsuits that are not averse to wearing even a skinny one.The breasts in such models are usually emphasized by a push-up bra.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2017/02/kak-podobrat-pravilnyj-razmer-kupalnika-i-na-kakuyu-tablicu-orientirovatsya-.png)
To correctly determine the size of a closed swimsuit, you must know your height, hip and waist.
Here you need to correctly remove the size of the hips and waist. For the first option, you need to grab a measuring tape around the most prominent points of the buttocks. The waist is measured at its narrowest part. Take measurements in either light underwear or underwear. Keep the measuring tape in a strictly horizontal position; do not pull it tight, but do not hold it loose either. When taking measurements, stand up straight and do not suck in your stomach. If you have the opportunity to ask someone to help, then it is better to use it.

Let's say that when you are 170, your waist is 65 and your hips are 93. Refer to the women's swimsuit size chart. Based on these data, the 42 Russian size is suitable for you. The 42nd size in Europe is considered to be 36, and the USA or England - 4. As we wrote earlier, 42 according to the international system is S.

How to choose a bra?
In order to choose the right bodice, you need to know two measurements - the volume under the bust and the size at the prominent points. In the latter case, measure along the prominent points on the chest, and on the back, hold the tape over the shoulder blades. Divide the difference between the obtained values by 6. As a result, you will get the value of "completeness". In the dimensional grid, it is indicated by letters of the Latin alphabet. A difference of 12-14 cm stands for the letter A, 13-15 cm for B, 15-17 cm for C and 18-20 cm for D.

Varieties of models
There are several types of swimwear. To date, all swimwear is divided into two types - separate and solid. The types of swimwear can be divided into several more types.

One of the most trending types of two-piece swimwear is the bikini. Usually it is a bodice with thin straps, the cups of which are sewn in the shape of a triangle. The panties of this swimsuit are small and usually with ties. Such a swimsuit will look good on girls with an ideal figure, who will have nothing to "fall out".
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2017/02/kak-podobrat-pravilnyj-razmer-kupalnika-i-na-kakuyu-tablicu-orientirovatsya--23.jpg)
The bandeau swimsuit is in fashion in France. This model is distinguished by a bodice - it kind of wraps the chest like a ribbon. These bras are suitable for girls with fragile shoulders and small breasts.

Tankini also refers to two-piece swimsuits. Its bodice is similar to a top. Such a model should be looked at for girls with a tummy or weighted hips.

Halter swimsuit bodice differs from previous models. It is tied around the neck, and its bowls will look perfect on busty beauties. This swimsuit perfectly supports the bust.

One-piece swimsuits are divided into seven types. Mayo swimsuit with sewn-on straps is considered a classic. The all-over bandeau is designed with no straps and looks flawless on fragile girls. The tank model swimsuit will visually slim the figure. It looks like a mayo, but it has a one-piece shoulder strap. The halter model has the straps fastened around the neck. Such a swimsuit evens the hips and holds the bust well.

Choice for the type of figure
Before choosing the swimsuit you need, you need to determine your body type. Designers have established 7 types of figures for girls.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2017/02/kak-podobrat-pravilnyj-razmer-kupalnika-i-na-kakuyu-tablicu-orientirovatsya-.jpg)
Girls with a "diamond" figure have wide waist and pelvis, as well as noticeable sides. Their chests are usually medium in size, and their shoulders and hips are thin.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2017/02/kak-podobrat-pravilnyj-razmer-kupalnika-i-na-kakuyu-tablicu-orientirovatsya--30.jpg)
The hourglass figure is perhaps considered ideal. In particular, the upper body and lower body are balanced.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2017/02/kak-podobrat-pravilnyj-razmer-kupalnika-i-na-kakuyu-tablicu-orientirovatsya--31.jpg)
The rectangular shape of the figure is most often found in sports girls. They have nearly the same shoulders, waist and hips.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2017/02/kak-podobrat-pravilnyj-razmer-kupalnika-i-na-kakuyu-tablicu-orientirovatsya--32.jpg)
In girls with a pear-shaped figure, the lower part of the body is accentuated. The shoulders of such models are usually narrow, and the hips are large and rounded.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2017/02/kak-podobrat-pravilnyj-razmer-kupalnika-i-na-kakuyu-tablicu-orientirovatsya--33.jpg)
The triangle shape has slender shoulders and a slightly curved waist. Another type of figure that is often found in female athletes is the inverted triangle. The characteristic features of this type are broad shoulders and chest.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2017/02/kak-podobrat-pravilnyj-razmer-kupalnika-i-na-kakuyu-tablicu-orientirovatsya--34.jpg)
Girls with an oval figure have a voluminous chest and a waist in volume that is larger than the hips.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2017/02/kak-podobrat-pravilnyj-razmer-kupalnika-i-na-kakuyu-tablicu-orientirovatsya--35.jpg)
For the happy owners of ideal proportions and hourglass figures, perhaps all models are suitable. However, you should be more careful with the bandeau swimsuit. This model can visually widen the shoulders and make them more voluminous.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2017/02/kak-podobrat-pravilnyj-razmer-kupalnika-i-na-kakuyu-tablicu-orientirovatsya--36.jpg)
For girls with a "diamond" figure, you should choose models that will hide a wide waist and hips. Ladies need to focus on slender legs and expressive shoulders. To accentuate your breasts, choose a V-neck swimsuit. You should not choose models with large, round patterns or semicircular lines. A contrasting swimsuit will look great. For example, the bra is brightly colored and the panties are black.

Girls with the types of figures "triangle" and "pear" need to visually make their shoulders wider. If a separate swimsuit suits the "triangles", then it is better for "pears" to look closely at the one-piece swimsuit in order to hide their flaws.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-472/2017/02/kak-podobrat-pravilnyj-razmer-kupalnika-i-na-kakuyu-tablicu-orientirovatsya--39.jpg)

Try not to buy a swimsuit that is too bright, as it will visually highlight all your flaws. If your eye fell on a bandeau swimsuit, then, first of all, see if it suits you in height.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2017/02/kak-podobrat-pravilnyj-razmer-kupalnika-i-na-kakuyu-tablicu-orientirovatsya--41.jpg)
Ladies with an inverted triangle should try to hide their broad shoulders. You will perfectly combine tank and tankini swimwear. You can choose both a one-piece and a separate swimsuit model.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2017/02/kak-podobrat-pravilnyj-razmer-kupalnika-i-na-kakuyu-tablicu-orientirovatsya--42.jpg)
For "rectangles" monokini is suitable. You can accentuate your graceful waist with a plange swimsuit. Discard horizontal drawings on the model. The decor on the thighs will look perfect. In one-piece swimsuits, pay attention to symmetrical cuts, inserts, and draperies.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-472/2017/02/kak-podobrat-pravilnyj-razmer-kupalnika-i-na-kakuyu-tablicu-orientirovatsya--43.jpg)

Beauties with oval shapes should not choose bright and shiny materials when choosing a swimsuit. Focus on the beauty of your hips and shoulders. Don't forget to choose a push-up or supportive swimsuit. Plus size girls are better off choosing high-quality swimwear made of thick material. Such models will keep their shape flawlessly.

It is better to choose swimwear for girls with a small bust with a thickened bodice. But, if you don't like push-up models or tight cups, then opt for the bandeau. A model with a horizontal line on the bra will look perfect.

We select by color type
Bright models with notes of the East are suitable for blondes. Don't stop at white, beige or orange swimsuits.

Light-skinned brunettes should also refrain from white models. Such girls will look like swimsuits in rich purple, blue colors; delicate peach or caramel colors. It would be a great idea to opt for bright colors: crimson, emerald.

For brown-haired women, there is no “white swimsuit” problem. Models of brown, green, lilac shades are suitable for many girls.
