An important role is played by whether the girl will be able to choose the right swimsuit according to the type of her figure. In this case, there are many different nuances: will the style be able to favorably emphasize the advantages of its owner, as well as hide the imperfections of the physique.
Experts have studied whether this or that model is suitable for different types, what you should pay attention to, and which swimwear it is better to refuse altogether. To consider this issue, you should dwell in more detail on the types of the female figure.

Experts recommend not to overdo it with an abundance of drawings; plain options will be an excellent choice.
You should not choose bathing suits with large cups and thin straps, the bodice can be either underwired or without them. "Bikini", "halter" - a great option, in contrast, for example, from "bando", which will visually make your lush breasts heavier.
"Rectangle"
The figure of a rectangular type has a poorly expressed waist, therefore, when choosing a swimsuit, it is necessary to focus on emphasizing it. In this case, accents on the chest and hips will help. It is also important to highlight the waist using various methods, such as a variety of cutouts and the location of the pattern, the presence of a belt, various inserts, and others.
With regards to models, girls of this physique should stop at monokini-type swimsuits. "Tankini" and "bando" do not emphasize the necessary curves of the body, it is better to refuse them.
"Pear"
The pear-type physique assumes a small chest and wide hips. Accordingly, the right decision would be to focus on the bust, which can be helped by models without shoulder straps or with a fastener on the neck. To lengthen the legs, panties with a high cut are used; you should not dwell on models like "swimdress", "skyrtini", which draw attention to the lower part of the body.
For overweight ladies, it will be useful to consider fused and closed models that help tighten the tummy, and you can also use a pareo. Mayo, halter and tank will look great on this type of figure.
"Triangle"

Care should be taken with regard to the drawing. Bright colors and horizontal stripes throughout the swimsuit are not a winning option. It is better to try to make these accents in the chest area. A single-colored bottom with a high cut will look good, if there are stripes on it, they should be located vertically. In this case, two-tone swimwear works well, with a bright top and a quieter bottom.
Inverted triangle, on the other hand, implies broad shoulders and narrow hips. In this case, you need to choose a swimsuit that will hide the upper part as much as possible and expand the lower one. Wide straps on models are an excellent option; prints, patterns and draperies in the lower body would be useful. Ideal options can be called "tankini" and "tank", girls will feel as comfortable as possible in them. In addition, when the above conditions are met, you can pay attention to both separate and fused models.
"Apple"

The tankini model with a deep cut and a classic bottom does an excellent job with this task.
With a "rhombus" physique, the situation is the same.It is not recommended to choose swimwear with semicircular lines, shorts, bright colors, as well as models with a lot of details. In this case, it is better to choose the simplest options. Two-tone swimsuits will look advantageous, the main thing is that they have a neat cut, do not weigh down the figure, and also tighten the tummy well.
With a "circle" type figure, it is required to divert attention as much as possible from the waist, on which excess weight is concentrated. A swimsuit with cups will help enhance the beauty of your bust. In this situation, matte models of dark colors will look good, which will visually slim their owner. It will not be superfluous to take a closer look at the options that have tightening inserts.
