Tricks to find the most flattering swimsuit or bikini

With the arrival of summer, one of the essential pieces of clothing that we cannot live without is a good bathing suit (or bikini) that fits us well and to go to at any occasion. But finding that swimsuit that really flatters us and our silhouette type is complicated. Without a doubt, the first thing we should do is know and be aware of the exact shape of our body, and then choose a swimsuit that emphasizes it.

The different shapes, designs and fabrics in a swimsuit can create different visual effects that please us more or less depending on our attributes. While we can always try different swimsuits and find out what suits us best, at laCorsetera they wanted to make the task a little easier for us by giving us the main points to consider in order to find the best option that suits our body. fits (and not the other way around).

a reducing effect

In order to visually reduce not only the size of our chest, but also our general size, “it is ideal to resort to swimwear with an internal bra and an American cut,” the corset experts tell us. Why? The seam or double seam that runs down from the shoulder, goes through the center of the nipple and down the sides of the abdomen to the leg, forming a V-shape at the waist, offers a slimmer figure and also refines the waist. In addition, if the printing is plain on the sides and printed in the center, or vice versa, we achieve an optical effect of three sizes less. This combination is without a doubt a winner.

In this line, we can also achieve a similar effect through a shaping swimsuit with V-shaped transparencies (if it is with an inner bra, much better). “Its main function is to stylize the figure and enhance the wasp waist effect,” they explain from laCorsetera. As for bikinis, we also find several tricks. To hide the contours of the tummy and show off a slimmer waist and hips, it is best to opt for a plain slip with a printed waistband (striped, two-tone, etc.).

a balanced body

For a woman with a large body size but with a small chest, it is most ideal to use a bathing suit with a solid print, preferably dark in color and with inner lining in the cup. “This works very well for this body type, as it ensures that the chest and body are visually evened out, creating a beautiful harmony,” the experts state. Conversely, if the filling were on the outside, a very small cup would be seen as opposed to a very voluminous body.

One size less chest

On the other hand, to reduce the bust, you can do this by choosing a slightly shorter smooth bra that fits the contours well, or a two-tone bra that makes it smaller, under the optical effect.
