Spring has sprung and Summer is well on its way. Swimsuit weather is just around the corner and with it comes anxiety and maybe even depression! But swimsuit shopping doesn’t have to be a nightmare.

There are a variety of suits available to accomodate any body shape. Follow these simple tips to find the swimsuit that is perfect for your body type.

Apple Shape:
Apple-shaped bodies or inverted triangle shapes have broad shoulders. Swimsuit shoppers with this body type should choose a swimsuit with a high-cut neckline, minimizing the top and emphasizing the bottom. Interested in  a two-piece suit? A solid top with printed bottoms works best for the Apple Shape.

Pear Shape:
This body type has wonderfully (or maybe not so wonderfully) rounded hips and bottom. Pear Shapes usually have a wider waist than shoulders. One-piece boatneck, racerback and tummy-control swimsuits visibly create the illusion of broader shoulders for a more balanced figure. If you prefer a two-piece suit, halter-style tops with darker bottoms are ideal.

Slender or Athletic Shape:
The slender body shape is long and lean with the same width at the shoulders, waist and hips. Swimmers with this body type need to create curves. You’ll want a swimsuit that creates the look of a defined waistline, try belted bottoms.

The Hourglass Shape:
Often considered the perfect body shape, the hourglass has a well-defined bust, waist and hips. This shape can show off all the assets…so go wild! You look great in most any style.

The Round Shape:
Not all Round Shapes are plus-size women. Many women tend to gain weight in their midsection, making them appear shapeless in the middle. While a one-piece is definitely recommended, you don’t have to settle for boring. Try a ruched tankini to draw attention away from the mid-section. The tankini is also great if you have awesome legs and want to show them off.
