SWIMSUITS FOR PEAR SHAPE

What is pear shaped?  A pear shaped body is one where your hips are wider than your bust and shoulders. You have a defined waist. This gives the illusion that your body looks like a pear.   A common question asked is what should pear shaped bodies wear?  We break down the different styles of swimsuits and the ones in each category that are the best swimsuits for pear shaped bodies.  Bikinis – Midrise bikini bottoms or tummy control high waisted bottoms with a ruffled top or another fabric to add fullness. A structured bikini top is another good way to bring balance to a smaller chest on a fuller bottom half of the body. A patterned top paired with black bottoms can be helpful to make the top half of the body appear more prominent while black has a minimizing effect on the lower half of the body. This can create more balance for a pear shape in a bikini or tankini  Tankinis – Look for Bust enhancing or structured or molded cups with Power Mesh in the torso and pair with Power Mesh bottoms to tone the bottom half. Just like a bikini, darker bottoms paired with a patterned top can create balance by minimizing the look of the lower half while adding fullness to the top half of the body  One Piece Swimsuits – Tummy control one pieces help streamline the lower half of the body. make sure the chest has structured cups to give shape to the bust or ruffles to add volume to a smaller chest. Prints, patterns and ruching minimizes the look of the midsection. Color blocking can also be used to bring balance to the body. Look for one pieces with a darker color from the waist down and a lighter color or patterns/prints above the waist  Swimsuit for pear shaped bodies can be further broken down into:  Swimsuits for Small Bust  Wear bikini tops embellished with extra fabric, embellishments or banded bottoms such as longline bikini tops. Underwire bikini tops and push up or padded bikini tops provide structure and shape to small busts. Ruffle swimsuits provide volume to a small chest.  Swimsuits for Small bust and Big Tummy  Padded push bikini tops that enhance the shape and provide structure to small bust. One piece swimsuits and tankinis with removable cups and tummy control swimwear fabric.
