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
Wildfox-Asos
River Island- Asos
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
