Women's Swimwear by Body Shape: Pear Shape

Pear-shaped women should be grateful that they have so many swimwear choices. Although they are just short of having an hourglass figure, the right swimwear can create the illusion that their body is perfect. Pear-shaped women are larger below the waist than they are on top. This means swimwear that accentuates their enviable lower body must be coupled with an outfit that gives some shape to their chest.

The pear-shaped woman's mission should be to improve their upper body's appearance which is why swimwear with beads and sequins needs to be worn. Bikinis containing these additional extras serve to make your chest the centre of attention. It is also important to have bikinis with underwiring which can help push up your breasts. This type of swimwear is almost like a push-up bra insofar as it can temporarily make your breasts appear to be a size or two bigger.

Swimwear containing triangular-shaped bikini tops can be worn to give your chest a better shape. This can be risky because women with very flat chests don't look attractive in triangular-shaped tops. If your breasts are medium-sized however, you can get away with this look. Swimwear that ties in front can also be bought and tightened as this serves to squeeze the breasts together, thus making them seem bigger. Tube top swimwear should be avoided because these are designed for large breasted women only. Anyone else who wears this type of swimwear will find that their breasts look smaller.

Pear-shaped women don't want to emphasise their already large lower bodies. One mistake often made is to choose swimwear designed to completely cover up the area. Swimwear that resembles hot pants only makes the hips look even larger. Instead, pear-shaped women can buy low-rise bottoms that barely skim the hips. Swimwear bottoms that are tied on the side are the best possible purchase for women with larger lower bodies because they can be tightened.

The best thing about being pear-shaped is having a flat stomach. This means you have a variety of choices when it comes to flattering swimwear. Although a large chest usually gets the most attention, having no fat around your midsection is also extremely alluring. Buy swimwear that draws attention away from your lower half without completely neglecting those sexy hips. By increasing the size of their breasts, pear-shaped women can almost look like they have hourglass figures so long as they choose the right swimwear.
