The swimsuit 2013

Summer, summer: here we are!! And who says summer says...."farniente", beach and swimsuits! And when it comes to choose your swimsuit there is something you must pay attention to: your body-shape.
Like I did in a post one year ago, here are some tips for you to pick the appropriate one among this season collections.
 

Hourglass

Your build is characterized by:
  • a defined bust
  • a defined waist
  • a neat bottom
  • neat hips
My recommendation: you can wear any styles as long as your proportions are good

Triangle

Your build is characterized by:
  • full hips or thighs
  • a defined waist
  • shoulders narrower than your hips
My recommendation: keep detailing above the waist

The inverted Triangle figure

  • straight and square shoulder line
  • little definition between waist/hips
  • flat hips and bottom
  • a bottom half that seems smaller than your top half
My recommendation: keep minimum detail on your shoulder line, details on hips work well

Rectangle

  • straight shoulders line
  • straight hips and bottom
  • very little waist definition
  • straight ribcage
My recommendation: choose a swim-suit that accentuate your waist with details or geometric effects

Round

  • rounded shoulder line
  • curved back
  • fullness around the middle
  • flattish bottom
 
 
My recommendation: simple line, if details above the bust line, vet top or tankini that covers the middle
