Beach Ready: Flattering Swimsuits to Suit Your Body

Summer's here, and it's time to suit up and enjoy some fun in the sun! Set your standard for confidence and comfort with flattering swimsuits that make you feel amazing. If finding the perfect swimwear stresses you out, don't worry – Veet® is here to help!

By focusing on your body type, you can discover the types of female swimwear that work best for your body type and, more importantly, make you say, “Here I am, comfortable, confident, and ready to dive into summer!”

Discover Your Body Type

There are as many body shapes as there are bodies, but here are five broad categories to get you started. If you don’t see a shape that matches you perfectly, don’t fret! Just pick the one that’s closest to you and have fun with Veet’s tips for finding your most flattering swimsuits!

  • Triangle: This shape is categorized by having hips that are wider than your shoulders.
  • Inverted Triangle: People who fit this category tend to have an upper body that is wider than their hips.
  • Rectangle: The rectangle shape is defined by having shoulders and hips roughly the same size, without a defined waistline and hips.
  • Oval: This shape describes a body with narrow hips and shoulders and a larger midsection and/or chest.
  • Hourglass: This figure is when the top and bottom of the body are relatively equal in size with a smaller waist.

Triangle Triumph

Flattering swimsuits for triangle girls are all about creating balance and drawing attention upward.

You'll shine in high-waisted bikinis that add length to your legs and bikini tops with plunging necklines or fun, girly details that bring focus to your face. Don't stress about finding a perfectly matched bikini set; buy separate pieces that fit great and make you feel fabulous.

The most flattering one-piece swimsuits for your shape have deep necklines and high legs to draw attention upwards. Experiment with suits with dark colours on the bottom, lighter colours on the top, asymmetrical straps, or cutouts.

Pro tip: if those high leg lines make you nervous about your body hair, rest assured with Veet® Professional Full Bikini Hair Removal Cream Kit, All Skin Types*. It's suitable for use on the full bikini, designed for tougher-to-remove hair, and is the only hair removal cream that starts working in 2 minutes!

Inverted Triangle Perfection

If you have an inverted triangle body type, finding flattering swimsuits is all about comfort and balance.

Bandeau bikini tops are great for drawing the eye down, while patterns and ruffles on the bottom can help balance your shape. If you have a larger bust, look for bra-sized underwire bikini tops that marry style and support.

If bikinis aren’t your thing, focus on flattering one-piece bathing suits with details around the waist or cutouts that highlight your frame.

Whether you prefer to spend your long summer days at the beach or at the pool, we’re confident you will find a wealth of different types of female swimwear that will make you feel fabulous and confident!

Rectangle Radiance

You will love flattering swimsuits that add curves and definition if you have a rectangular shape.

When choosing bikinis, emphasize your legs and waist with ruched or tie-side briefs and high-cut legs.

Off-the-shoulder looks create the illusion of wider shoulders, and deep plunging necklines add emphasis to smaller busts.

The most flattering one-piece swimsuits for rectangle body types include cutouts at the waist and belted waists to create an hourglass shape.

If you opt for a daring suit, remember you can easily remove hair even if you have sensitive skin thanks to Veet® Professional Wax Strips Sensitive Skin - Face, Bikini & Underarm*.

Oval Obsession

Choosing flattering swimsuits for oval body shapes means focusing on accentuating your favourite features.

Mix and match tops and bottoms for the perfect fit when choosing bikinis. Look for eye-catching tops that draw attention upward and emphasize your curves with details like side ties and patterned bottoms. Sweetheart necklines flatter and offer support, while ruffles around the waist can skim over the stomach.

Flattering one-piece bathing suits for oval body types often feature gathered fabric at the waist for a sophisticated look.

Hourglass Heaven

For hourglass figures, the most flattering swimsuits are those that accentuate your natural curves.

Bra-sized bikinis with high-waisted briefs are excellent choices for complementing your narrower waist. Retro looks and halters also look great - drawing more attention to your shoulders.

The most flattering one-piece swimsuits for hourglass figures include deep V-necks that elongate your silhouette and belted one-pieces that accentuate your waist.

These flattering one-piece bathing suits will keep you feeling confident and stylish all summer long. So throw on your favourite shades, pack your beach bag and remember to moisturize regularly to help with your glow!
