How to choose the perfect bikini according to your body shape
Sometimes choosing the perfect bikini is exhausting, since there are many models and it is not clear where to start. From Gisela we recommend one bikini or another depending on your body type. Push up bikini, triangle bikini, swimsuit... You'll see how you find one that you love!
Bikinis for pear-shaped body
If you have a pear body, it resembles a triangle or pyramid and refers to a figure with wide hips, narrow shoulders and a small bust. The general characteristics are: narrow shoulders as opposed to hips, thighs wider than the bust and a curvy backside. When choosing a bikini, it has to achieve a balance between the top and bottom. To do this, you need to add curves to the top and draw attention away from the hips.
Avoid flashy decorations at the bottom so that the attention doesn't go there. Frills and ruffles give volume and that's exactly what you want to avoid. At Gisela you can enjoy a wide variety of push-up bikinis in different prints and bright and cheerful colors.
BIKINI TOPS
Choose bikini tops with padding, push-up, bold prints and plunging necklines.
Bikinis for rectangular body
If your body shape is straight, that is, an H silhouette where the shoulders and hips are equally wide and you have a waist with little or no definition, in Gisela we have bikinis designed to enhance your chest and hips.
The characteristics of a rectangular or straight body are: a straight figure with few curves, small chest and narrow shoulders, hips similar to the shoulders and a poorly defined waist.
The best swimwear for women with a rectangular body are swimsuits that define your waist and give volume to the upper part. But you can also opt for bikinis in specific models.
BIKINI TOPS
The ideal is a triangle bikini to shape your bust. Halter, push-up and sporty bikinis are also flattering. They can also have bangs, prints, ruffles, etc.
BIKINI BOTTOMS
Choose panties with ruffled edges, knots, bright colors and gathers.
Bikinis for hourglass body
It refers to the body with curves, i.e., proportionate bust and hips with a defined waist. The sand body has the following characteristics: hips and shoulders with a similar width although the waist is narrower, medium chest and proportionate figure.
BIKINI TOPS
Choose a triangle bikini top to enhance the medium bust, bandeau if you have little and if you have a lot opt for a halter top with a sporty cut.
How to choose the perfect bikini according to your skin color
Depending on your skin color, it is clear that there will be some bikinis that will flatter you more than others.
If we are talking about dark skins, bikinis in bright and flashy colors such as yellow, orange, red or white to contrast with the dark skin tone are your thing. Also perfect is the use of golden tones and colorful and daring prints.
When talking about white skins, the best choice is navy blue, red, brown, dark green, etc. The function of color here is to highlight the skin so that it does not look so white.
If we are referring rather to light skins, i.e. those that are slightly tanned, you can opt for light blue, pink or yellow. It is also a good idea to try pastel shades.
Which bikini to choose according to your height
Here are some tips to choose your perfect bikini depending on your height:
- High-rise: two-piece swimsuit.
- Low-rise: one-piece swimsuits with plain and sober colors. If you love prints, it is best to opt for one without too many motifs.
- With a marked waist: the best are panties without ruffles or frills.
- With some tummy: if you don't feel comfortable, high-waist panties or one-piece swimsuits.
How to choose swimsuit and bikini size
It is clear that there are plenty of swimsuits and bikinis of all styles: bandeau, push up, triangle, removable, multi-position, underwired, with different cups, etc. And the same goes for panties: classic, Brazilian, multi-position, high-waisted panties, etc.
