Perfect Body, Perfect Bikini

Luckily, we found this great article by Women’s Health that relates to each body shape and offers a customized workout so you can look your best. Check out “Best Workout for Your Body!” and get swimsuit sexy in just six weeks!  Now all you need is a fashionable swimsuit to show off your soon to be hot bod! We, at SwimSpot, are here to make it easy for you with suggestions for each body type.

Pear Shaped

        

You’re a bit wider on the bottom than you are on the top. To accentuate your bust try an enhancer top with spilt underwire, such as the Singita Enhancer Spilt Underwire Bra by Athena.  Then pair it with the Abstract Jungle Ring Pant by Reef to enhance your shape and for desired coverage.Have fun mixing and matching Athena bathing suits with Reef swimwear.

Curvy Shaped

           

Your bust and hips are larger compared to your waist. To embrace your curves, the triangle top or halter top should do the trick.  Take a look at the Paint Ball Halter by Hurley or the One & Only Plaid Triangle bra by Hurley for options.  For the bottom, we suggest the tie side style to hug your curves.  Check out the One and Only Plaid Tie Side Pant by Hurley to complete your look.

Straight Shaped

      

You’re stick straight with very few curves. To add shape, the bandeau top with or without straps is perfect. This will help give the illusion that you are fuller on top. The Pretty Tough Bandeau by Hurley has a fun print to add a flirty edge.  To accentuate your hips wear a strip bottom style, like the Pretty Tough Strip Pant by Hurley.

Athletic Shaped

    
 
You have broad shoulders and narrow hips. A supportive halter top is an easy and comfortable fit to enjoy the day at the beach.  Check out the Mini Strip Halter by Splendid with removable soft cups and thicker ties for support.  The swim bottom should also provide support and versatility. Another great suit by Splendid is the Mini Stripe Boyshort which has a removable belt and a functional back pocket.

Now that you have picked the perfect workout for your shape, you can pick out the perfect swimsuit. Keep in mind the tips we have shared while you are exploring SwimSpot. Don’t forget to use the BIKINI BUILDER to reveal your potential perfect swimsuit. Happy shopping!

  • Look Good, Feel GoodFall is finally here! Time to dig up those scarves, boots, and cardigans buried deep inside your closet. In terms of fashion, this is definitely my favorite time of year – I especially love the bold pops of color that are trending this season. And of course, the layers! But unfortunately, being bundled up in sweaters and coats doesn’t quite give me the motivation to work out. I won’t be sporting a bikini any time soon anyways so what’s the point, right? Wrong! We’re all aiming for that perfect beach body once Spring rolls along, so why not start working for it now? Getting toned and fit is a gradual process—although I’m sure we all wish it would happen overnight. Swimsuit season will be coming around the corner before you know it, so save yourself from the intense dieting and exercise the week before spring break and start now!
