HOW DOES MY BIKINI BECOME PART OF MY OUTFIT?
And which bikini suits my figure best?
It's summer and summer means the beach, the sun, and the perfect bikini. From sand between your toes to a delicious cocktail on the terrace of your favorite beach bar; on days like these, you don't have to worry about anything, and sometimes we just love that. Well, not worry about anything? Almost nothing then... Because you may not have much on, but what you wear has to look good while creating that tan. And that perfect bikini is certainly not always easy to find. That's why I'm telling you which bikinis you can best enjoy this season with your figure. And how that bikini can become part of your perfect beach look. Because one thing is for sure: life is better in a bikini.

The classic female figure is the hourglass figure. You have beautiful curves, and they should be seen. You are lucky to have many different bikinis. A halter or triangle bikini works very well and perfectly highlights where you need it.
”The power lies in creating curves for you”

Are you not blessed with obvious female curves but have tight muscles? There's a good chance you have a straight figure. The power lies in creating curves for you. Think of a bikini top with rounded lines, patterns with round flowing shapes, ruffles, and fringes.
”For this figure, it's important to make smart use of a well-fitting bikini”

Do you have a wide waist and slim legs? Then you have an apple-shaped figure. For this figure, it's important to make smart use of a well-fitting bikini. It's essential to go for beautiful large color blocks or prints with large shapes and to wear wide bottoms.
”The small edge of skin distracts from the hips”
Bikini top with cut-out detail, €75 L’Agent By Agent Provocateur via Net-a-porter Bikini thong with cut-out detail, €55 L’Agent By Agent Provocateur via Net-a-porter Jumpsuit, €75 Topshop Sunglasses, €19 & Other Stories Slippers, €55 & Other Stories
When you have a pear-shaped figure, you have narrow shoulders and full hips and thighs. Choose a bikini bottom with a cut-out detail on your stomach. The small edge of skin distracts from the hips. Furthermore, a bandeau top with embellishments like ruffles looks very nice. This creates a better balance.
