A swimsuit is a must have in the wardrobe for all the women in summer.

But it’s not so easy to choose the right one – because it reveals all the sides of the figure, makes it visible to others.

Here are some ideas on how to chose your the perfect swimwear for each body type.


Apple figure type


ree

You have a little tummy, a large breast, but slim hips, legs and arms.


The ideal swimsuit is a one-piece black model with an accent on the top part of the figure – lace, neckline, contrasting color above.

You should not choose a bikini.

Hourglass body type


ree

You can choose absolutely any swimsuit. Best of all you will look great in a retro style, this model will make the best of your beautiful shape.

The second very trendy variant this summer – a one-piece swimsuit with a belt.

You have a slim figure, but the waist is not accentuated well; your task is to create a volume in the breast and hips area so that the waist line appears.


The best type here is a separate swimsuit with details on shorts or bust (lace, laces, reaped material).


The idea is that you add volume to your chest and hips and thus visually create a waistline. The bottom should be at the hips, not at the waist.

If you want a one-piece swimsuit you should choose the model with diagonal lines, a node that is fixed in the middle of the figure.

Pear figure type

In your figure the hips are wider than the shoulders. Your task is to hide the disproportions here.


Your perfect swimsuit is the model with high panties in retro style. The top of the swimsuit can be of any shape. It is better if it is bright in color, and panties are black.

The second type is the dark-coloured one-piece swimsuit with a low-cut neckline as in the photo.

Inverted triangle figure


ree

In your figure the shoulders are wider than the hips (the figure of a swimmer).


You should choose the trend of the recent years – a separate swimsuit with parts different in color.

Choose pants with an unusual print, patterns, bright colours, and the top of the swimsuit – monochrome, better – dark. So you draw attention to the bottom part.

The second type is a swimsuit with ordinary pants, but with a top of American cut which narrows the line of the shoulders.

Pants it’s always better to choose with ties which will visually add volume to the hips.

Oval figure type


ree

You have a plump figure, but proportional (full waist, chest, hips, arms and legs).


Your perfect swimsuit is one-piece black model. Or the variant with a skirt or flared top.

When you are on the beach, we recommend wearing a pareo or a transparent black dress. Add a hat with a wide brim and unusual sunglasses. So you will shift the focus from the figure to the unusual accents in the image.

A separate swimsuit is not for you.

You will have seen how fashion bloggers and stylish people unusually combine different, bright colours in their clothes. However, not everyone dares to combine green trousers and, for example, an orange top, and not feel like a colourful clown!


Here we are showing you the most relevant color combinations for the summer of 2022.

Pink + Purple

There is no doubt that the combination of pink and purple evokes the Barbie’s vibe of the early 2000s. But it really is such a sweet trendy colour scheme that makes any look as stylish and youthful as Barbie herself.

Here are som options for how you can combine these colours together:

Blue + Brown


The combination of blue and brown is another quite popular combination from the 2000s era. However, modern fashionistas style it in more modern ways, in particular, using a yellow ochre shade with blue.

The beauty of this brown-blue combination is that it does not depend on the season. It all depends on how you wear it. The yellow tones in brown also help to warm up the cooler tones of the blues, creating a uniquely dramatic aesthetic.

Green + black


This is possibly one, if not the, most popular colour combination in the fashion world at the moment. The combination of green and black is another year-round duet, regardless of the season. Celebrities and influencers from around the world have already been spotted wearing this combination of black with a vibrant yellow-green hue.

Red + White

This colour combination is quite simple and yet spectacular. Bold red on a bright white background is another technique used by many people in the fashion world. The easiest and most successful option: take your favorite classic white shirt or top and add a red skirt or trousers. You can limit yourself to just a red bag or any accessory such as a belt or glasses. It’s also an excuse to wear your favorite red lipstick to set off the whole look.

Pink + Black


With this color combination, a more daring grunge Barbie immediately comes to mind. This combination works great at any time of the year, but in summer, pink looks the most advantageous.

Plus, adding pink is a great way to give a softer, girlish feel to a sassy black look, and vice versa, black will add some grown-up chic and glamor to a delicate pink outfit.

Blue + White

While the combination of blue and white may conjure up images of summer (imagine the sea views, the color of the sky, and the sandy beach), it’s not exactly summery. Depending on the shades and how you mix them, you can try this combination all year long, starting this season. Ruffles, prints, embroidery and airy oversized silhouettes are what you need for a summer combination of blue and white.

Orange + Blue


Orange and blue take you back to the past. The combination of these colours undoubtedly has a vintage feel, reminiscent of the 90s or late 80s. Despite this, you can wear both sportswear in these colors, and choose summer clothes for work and walks, as well as for evening going-outs.
