Finding the best bathing suits for body type can leave even the most confident woman simply at a loss. Some women also have the wrong notion that if they cannot find the best bathing suits for their body type, they might as well stay away from the pool or the beach. That should not be the case, because although it may take a few shopping trips, it is actually possible for women to find the perfect bathing suit to flatter their figures and will help them exude sexy confidence while displaying their wonderful assets, like their legs, arms and neck.
Most women on the beach wear one-piece suits, they do not reveal it ALL, just enough to keep things a bit interesting. Many one-piece suits show more back and less tummy, others show a bit more cleavage or thigh. They are somewhat created to help women show off their best assets while concealing the others.
Whether one-piece or two-piece swimsuits, and taking into consideration the most common body shapes and sizes of women, here are the best bathing suits for the body type enumerated hereunder:
Small on Top
Women can boost their small breasts with triangle bikini tops and string bikinis. They should look for push-up swim tops or underwire tops with adjustable straps so they can tighten and adjust things, to help fill out the top line. They should wear bold prints, bright colors and shirring to create the illusion of a larger bosom. They should avoid tops with too much fabric and have a poor fit.

Big on Top
For women with full busts, they should choose swimsuits that have underwire cups in the bra as they may need some extra support for their bosom. They should go for straps that have wider pieces of fabric on the top as these will be much more comfortable than thin, spaghetti straps. Fabrics with high Lycra content are also recommended. They should also look for one-piece swimsuits with some structure in the bust. Straight cut bust styles can look clean and sporty. On the other hand, they should avoid strapless tops and those that offer minimal coverage.

Flabby Tummy
A one-piece with some draping around the waist or hips can help to conceal. Women may also add vertical lines to their bathing suits by using stripes. They should also select swimwear with dark side panels that curve into the waist and reduce tummy bulges. For two-piece bikinis, they should choose bikini bottoms in dark colors and with high waistbands. They should avoid solid colored, one-piece bikinis or swimwear with belts, bows or ties around the waistlines.

Short Legs or Torso
To make legs much longer, women should find bathing suits that are cut high on the thigh. They should choose bikinis with printed tops and solid bottoms. This will draw the eye upward giving them a longer look. Meanwhile, boy shorts and skirted bikinis should be avoided as they draw the eye downward and can make women look shorter.
No Waist
For women who don’t have curves, they can create some by wearing one-piece suit with a cut that is high-on-the-thigh. Bikinis are also good for them especially those with rings, ruffles and bows as these add some illusion at the hips. They should avoid solid-colored or horizontal striped one-pieces.

Wide shoulders
Balance is very important. Women should wear bikini bottoms with lots of color and print and also sport accents at the hips like ties and belts. Wide shoulder straps and square necklines can also make women with wide shoulders look fabulous. They should however avoid plunging necklines or tiny bikini bottoms.
Plus size figure
Plus size women should look for one-piece swimsuits with lace. A sheer sarong is also recommended, as it can give confidence and a totally glamorous look. Swimsuits with dark, cool colors are always preferred. So are those with swirling and V patterns. Too much fabric should be avoided, though. Modesty is okay, but too much coverage is not necessarily a better option since lots of fabric on a swimsuit will make a woman appear larger, not smaller. White swimsuits, as well as those made with bright neon fabrics should also be avoided.
