With so many swimsuit styles, finding the right one that is flattering for your body shape can be daunting. It’s important to feel your best in a swimsuit, so I broke down four styles of swimsuits that are perfect for midlife women. Here’s how to find swimsuits for your body type – let’s dive in!
1. Halter
- Best for: Pear/teardrop body shape
- Wider hips and thighs compared to your bust
The halter neckstyle draws attention to your shoulders and neckline, helping balance your figure. This one has thick straps that offer more support and an adjustable tie that fits perfectly.
2. Tankini
- Best for: Oval/Apple body shape
- Fuller midsection and less defined waist
This style is perfect for when you want the versatility of a two-piece without going for the bikini. You can get two sizes and mix and match prints and colors. This top has cross-back straps and offers coverage of your midsection. The bottom is high-waisted to offer even more coverage.
3. Bold Print
- Best for: Rectangle body shape
- Straight and athletic figure with minimal curves
Easily create visual interest and the illusion of curves with a bold print. I love the fan pattern on this one with adjustable straps, which adds even more visual interest with a cross back detail in the back.
4. Wrap
- Best for: Hourglass body shape
- Wider bust and hips with thinner waist
This style accentuates your natural curves while providing support around your bust. I love that this swimsuit is a faux wrap because it’ll keep you secure while delivering the cinching feature of a wrap.
