How To Choose A Bikini For Athletic Body Type

The body shapes of people are varied, and sometimes it makes it difficult for women to find the perfect and flattering swimsuit.

What is an athletic body type?

So the first step in knowing how to look good in bikini swimsuits is to figure out which of the five general body types you fall into. If you are lucky enough to have an athletic body type, you can just follow some simple rules to enhance your beauty.

Athletic body types tend to combine broad shoulders with a straight silhouette, with less variance between waist, hip, and bust measurements. This athletic body shape is sometimes referred to as an inverted triangle, T shaped or strawberry shaped. Usually a classic athletic body type may has those features like broad chiseled shoulders, small and medium bust, thick torso and waist, narrow hip and flat bottom.

How to choose a bikini for an athletic body type

When you are looking for a swimsuit for an athletic body type, your goal is to balance your proportions by visually reducing shoulder width while enhancing the natural curves of your hips. You can combine a simple dark top with a fancy colored bottom to shift the focus from the shoulders to the hips and legs. When it comes to broad shoulders, thick straps are always better than thin ones. A bikini with dropped neckline can minimize broad shoulders while emphasizing your cleavage. The high and lace-up bottoms will draw attention to long legs and add contour to the hips, so they can be the top choice for people with athletic body types. What’s more, you can also choose a high-waist bottom or a cutout monokini that enhances the curves to add contour to small hips and thicker waists. If you belong to an athletic body type, you should avoid choosing tops without straps as they can make broad shoulders appear wider than they really are.
