The varying types of swimsuit styles allow women to shop specifically for their body type. A women's build can differ from top heavy, to pear-shaped or minimal curves; all of which can be embraced and enhanced with the right swimwear.

Full Bust

• Choose a halter or underwire top with supportive straps.
• Avoid skinny straps and push-up padding.

Small Bust

• Choose a top that will enhance your bust.
• A lifting, push-up, or padded top will enhance out your curves.
• Choose a top with horizontal lines, fringe or ruffles to create the illusion of a larger bust.
• Avoid flat triangle tops and solids.
