SWIMSTYLE & FIT Guide
How to Measure
Bust: Measure around your chest at the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape parallel to the floor and your arm relaxed at your sides.
Waist: Bend to one side to find the natural crease of your waist and measure from this point. Allow a little room for a comfortable fit.
Hip: With your heels together, measure around the fullest part of your hips while keeping the tape parallel to the floor.
Torso: Starting at the top of one shoulder, measure diagonally across the fullest part of your bust, between your legs, and up your back to the staring point.

Hourglass
This silhouette is characterized by a slim, or defined, waist with equal top and bottom halves of the body.
For evenly proportioned curves, you can choose from our entire selection of swimsuits for a flattering fit. If you are interested in additional bust support, look for underwire, molded cups, wide straps, and tops that give you extra coverage. Avoid bandeau, or strapless, styles. Stay away from mis-matching your two-piece set (bikini or tankini), as this will make your body look disproportional. For the best bikini option, keep to print coordinated tops and bottoms. For the ideal tankini, stick to hipster or brief bottoms that are print, or solid, color coordinated to the top. Select one piece swimsuits to showcase your waistline and gorgeous curves.
Inverted Triangle
This silhouette is characterized by broad shoulders, a fuller bust, defined waist, narrow hips, and long legs.
For a more top heavy silhouette, choose from our selection of halter or wider strapped styles to create a visually narrowing effect. For additional bust support, look for underwire, molded cups, wide straps, and tops that give you support and coverage. Avoid bandeau, or strapless, styles. Indulge in skirts, shorts, and girl or boy leg styles perfect for your unique shape. Feel free to mis-match your two-piece set (bikini or tankini), to draw focus toward your bottom half creating as more proportional look. For the best bikini and tankini options, pair brightly colored or printed bottoms with solid colored tops. Take advantage of your narrow bottom by wearing string or side-tie options. Be certain to purchase top and bottom separately, as you will most likely need a larger size on the top than on the bottom. Select one piece styles with empire banded bra structure and wider shoulder straps. Avoid thin, lingerie straps.
Triangular
This silhouette is characterized by narrow shoulders, a defined waist, wider hips and a well-rounded bottom.
For a more bottom heavy silhouette, choose from our selection of halter or lingerie strapped styles to create a gorgeous look. Indulge in bandeau, or strapless, styles perfect for your unique frame. Feel free to mis-match your two-piece set (bikini or tankini), to draw focus toward your top half creating as more proportional look. For the best bikini and tankini options, pair brightly colored or printed tops with solid colored bottoms – preferably full coverage brief or hipster styles. Be certain to purchase top and bottom separately, as you will most likely need a larger size on the bottom than on the top. Select one piece styles with bandeau, plunging or V-necklines. Avoid girl leg, boy leg, boy short, and skirt options.
Rectangular
This silhouette is characterized by equally proportioned bust and hips with no discernable waistline.
For a straighter silhouette, choose from our selection of embellished, flounced, cut-out, and empire or drop waistline styles to create a proportioned look. Indulge in belt, ruffle, ring, bow, or tie accented styles perfect for your unique frame. Look for twist front, sweetheart, plunging or V-necklines. Feel free to mis-match your bikini set to draw focus away from mid-section for a more curvaceous appearance. For the best bikini or tankini options, select halter or wider straps. To add curve appeal, select monokinis, surplice, peplum, tiered, or flounced one piece styles. Avoid solid colored or horizontal stripes.
Diamond
This silhouette is characterized by a small bust, full high tummy with narrow shoulders, and wide hips and thighs.
For this asymmetrical silhouette, choose from our selection of powernet tummy control, one piece, tankini, high waisted bottom, and swimdress styles to create a more proportioned look. Indulge in plunging or V-necklines, styles with empire waist design. Look for monochrome prints, long vertical lines, color blocking, and light ruching/shirring in the midsection. To create a waistline select surplice or side panel color blocking one piece or tankini tops. Select from classic or high waist brief bottoms to show-off your legs. For the perfect look, find a style with print at bust and solid/darker coloring beneath. Choose banded bikini or midkini tops. Avoid busy all-over prints, neon, pale solids, boy shorts and skirts.
Oval
This silhouette is characterized by a full bust, larger abdominal region, narrow hips and thighs.
For this thicker midsection silhouette, choose from our selection of powernet tummy control, one piece, tankini, high waisted bottom, and swimdress styles to create a more proportioned look. Indulge in plunging or V-necklines, styles with empire waist design. Look for dark solids, monochrome prints, color blocking, and light side ruching/shirring in the midsection. To create a waistline select surplice or side panel color blocking one piece or tankini tops. Select from classic or high waist brief bottoms to show-off your legs.
