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.
