Swimsuit For: Hourglass Body
If your body shape is an hourglass, you're lucky! This silhouette is naturally proportional and balanced. The key is to accentuate your beautiful, clearly defined waist and great legs - your best assets.
As an hourglass, you should wear:
-
Tops with straps mid-way across the shoulder and simple or string bikini bottoms. In your case, simplicity is critical; these minimalist bikinis won't take the attention off your beautiful silhouette.
-
Strapless or bandeau tops with simple bottoms.
-
Ruffled or embellished bikini sets that accentuate your curves.
-
Make sure that the colors of your top and bottom match - mixing colors can make your body look disproportional.
-
One-piece swimsuits with a wrap waist will enhance your waist. Remember to keep the color relatively uniform across the bust and hips.
A top hourglass body type is very similar to the regular hourglass. The main difference is that your bust is visibly larger than your hips. The trick in picking a flattering bikini is to find one that accentuates your waist and optically balances the top and bottom.
As a top hourglass, you should wear:
-
Simple, solid color halter tops or triangle tops. You can pair them with patterned and embellished bottoms.
-
Darker tops and lighter bikini bottoms to optically balance your bust and hips.
-
Retro-style one-piece suits with a ruffle around the hips.
-
Tankinis with a simple halter top, paired with ruffled or embellished bottoms.
