Apple 

An apple a day will keep the Dr. away, or so we hear. But in a new suit by SwimSpot, you’ll need to schedule plenty of social  Dr. “appointments.” Especially if your body type is “Apple-Shaped,” rounder with a less defined waist. Does this body type sound like your fashion physique diagnosis?

Some recommendations to elongate the torso & slim the waist for our lovely shaped Apples:

1.    Luxe by Lisa Vogel Opening Day Tankini and Bikini Bottom – Camouflage your mid section with a peek-a-boo tankini, focusing on your envied assets: your legs & chest.

2.    Luxe by Lisa Vogel Solaia Tankini and Tab Swimwear Bottom – The asymmetrical ruffle will give you a longer torso along with stunning back detail. The tab bottoms will accent your curves perfectly.  

3.    Tommy Hilfiger Castaway Fauxkini – The combination of strategically placed stripes, tummy control, and shirring will give you the appearance of a slimming waist and a longer, leaner body.  

 

Athletic
Is your body more on the square side? If yes, then you’re body type is considered Athletic. Show off your “fit” shape and create some curvaceous curves with the silhouettes featured below 

 

Here are a few suit recommendations we’ve selected for you:

1.    Hurley Eastside Triangle and Tie Side Bottom Bikini – The traditional triangle and tie side is a perfect silhouette for an Athletic build. Leave the strings long for nice side detail which will show off your athletic beauty! 

2.    Guess Check Me Out One Piece SwimSuit – Lingerie inspired, this monokini flatters the body like no other. The cut outs will turn your boy-shaped body into a sexy girl.

3.    Athena Maldives Halter One-Piece SwimSuit – Side shirring will create an illusion of a slimmer torso giving you the hourglass figure you’ve always wanted.

 

Full Bust

Is your bust measurement fuller than your hips and bottom? If yes, then you’re considered Full Busted and demand extra top support.  

Get supported while looking fabulous with the suit recommendations we’ve selected for you:

1.    Hurley Camo Reversible Halter Top and Tab Side Bottom Bikini – A tried and tested silhouette for full-busted body types, the halter top gives the most lift, support and coverage. We recommend shopping fun halters that offer a reversible side so you can mix & match your perfect look.

2.    Splendid Marcel Stripe Halter Top and String Bottom Swimsuit Bikini – Back detail is one of the top trends for 2011, so jump on trend as you dip into the water! The Splendid Marcel Halter is not only fashionable but also gives added support in all your right places.

3.    Next by Athena Good Karma Sports Bra and Retro Bottom – Sport bra-styles with underwire relieve weight and tension from the neck and allow you to be as active as you want to be. Sport the look why don’t ya!

 

Hourglass

Do you have a curvaceous figure – ala Marilyn or Kim Kardasian - with full bust and full hips along with a defined waist? If you’re shaking your head up and down, then you’re posed for a perfect swim look with an Hourglass body shape.


 
Curves are back! Show them off with our three recommendations below:

1.    Reef Mood Halter Top and Tie Side Bikini Bottom – Look for halter tops for support and try tie side to sit nicely on your hips.

2.    Ella Moss Solid One Piece – Opt for a one piece womens swimsuit that has full side rouching and a straight neckline. Your body will look flawless in this adorable swim dress.

3.    Luxe by Lisa Vogel Cadette One Piece Swimsuit – The all over camo print creates a slimming effect while the cowl neckline draws attention downward, elongating the body. 

 

Pear

Figures that are small to medium in the bust, have a defined waist, and a full bottom (buttocks, thighs, hips) are one of the most common body types. If this sounds like you, don’t fret; we have some great looking suits for your Pear build.

1.    Reef Bungle in the Jungle Halter Top and Swim Bottom Bikini – A beautifully textured print chock full of details is perfect to draw attention to your upper half.

2.    Next Shred Tankini and Tunnel Bikini Bottom – The wide straps broaden your shoulders and the banded empire waist will help take the attention off of the widest part of your body and focus it on your slimmest attributes. 

3.    Paradise Tankini and Skirted Bottom – This combo features bold coloring on the tankini with wide neck straps which bring the eyes upward, while sticking with a solid bottom to play down your hips.

 

Petite

Do you have a small-framed body – ala big screen lil’ beauties Audrey Hepburn and Natalie Portman? If that describes you, then you’re considered Petite.
We’ve pulled these looks from our full collection of more than a 1000 looks just for our Petite customers:



1.    Guess Gather Round One Piece Swimsuit – The mixture of blousing and plunging neckline make for a deadly match. The neckline will leave you looking modelesque since it will draw the eyes of your admires’ downwards.  

2.    Splendid Solid Sunrise Bandeau and Retro Bottom Bikini – Classic colors and silhouettes always prevail no matter what the trends of the season dictate. And don’t be afraid to mix and match, mismatch – our bikini builder is a good tool for this. 

3.    Luxe by Lisa Vogel Cougarette Maillot One-Piece Swimsuit – This sleek look and plunging neckline will optimize your body and give the illusion of a longer physique. Meow!


Straight & Narrow

Does your figure show very little definition between your bust, waist and hip measurements? If so, then we define your body type as Straight & Narrow.
Create curves where you want them with our Fit Specialist recommendations:

1.    Guess Full Metal Underwire and Retro Bottom – Underwire bras with removable pads lift and enhance while zippers and glimmering rhinestones draw attention to all your new curves. 

2.    Guess She’s Ditsy Triangle Top and Retro Bottom – Test the waters with one of the hottest trends of the season – ruffles. Ruffles on your triangle bra is the perfect way to bring dimension & attention to the bustline.  

3.    Athena Enhancer Top and Skirted Bottom – With the use of split underwire, molded soft cups, and removable push up pads you’ll grow a cup size once you slip into this luxurious bra. A rouched skirt will enhance your hips and bring out the bombshell in you.

  • Athena’s 2012 Collection Suits Your StyleAs we fly into 2012, Athena has an amazing new collection. It includes updates from the 2011 Maldives Collection. With Slim-Power lining and shirring details, Athena’s new collection gives you the right amount of tummy control and will help cover up all those imperfections for those days at the beach. You will be seeing a lot of cute tankinis, slimming one pieces, and stylish bikinis all year long from our collection.
  • 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!
  • Feelin' Nautical?Feelin' nautical? Hit the deck with Nautica's Classic Solids Underwire One Piece Bathing Suit! This slimming one piece suit sports an underwire feature to provide optimal support, comfort, and fit. The white straps create a great contrast against the navy and the sweetheart neckline sets an irresistible modern twist on this maillot. To cover up, try Nautica's Under the Sea Tunic. The white and navy stripe print of the tunic perfectly compliments the solid suit, creating a chic sailor look.
