The summer time is known for one thing more than ever, beach season. This season is the most critical season for a woman to know her body type and what she can and CAN NOT wear. When we go bathing suit shopping we will take that one friend who will tend to tell us what we want to hear and not what we need to hear. Here are some things you should know about your body and what you can get away with

Hourglass Figure

You have an hourglass figure if you have full hip-line and your full bust-line is the same width and a small waist. You can wear any style of swimsuit. Try something that will show off your feminine curves.

Inverted Triangle

You have an inverted triangle body shape if you have a large bust with narrow hips.

You’ll want to choose a swimsuit that draws away from the bottom. With a high-cut neckline, with this swimsuit you will minimize the top and emphasize the bottom. Also, try a solid top with printed bottoms is your best bet for a two piece swimsuit.

Triangle or Pear Shape Body

The triangle body type is often also referred to as pear-shaped. You have this shape if your small bust-line is narrower than your full hip-line and you have a well defined waist. One-piece swimsuits visibly create the illusion of broader shoulders for a more balanced figure. If you prefer a two piece suit, halter-style tops with darker bottoms are a great choice.

Rectangle

You have a rectangle body if you have small to medium bust and full hip-line are about the same width and you have little waist definition. The main goal with this body type is to produce curves. Try belted bottoms or swimsuits that have cutout, also try boy shorts bottom to create curves.
