I swear if you ask any random group of women, they would most likely collectively agree that bathing shopping is their least favorite out of all the shopping. And I totally get this. How could it not be? Bathing suits have a way of showing everything we feel is a flaw. But what if we flipped the script? What if instead of worrying about our flaws, we found bathing suits pear shaped women by highlighting our assets?
Check out my guide below that will help you decide which trends, silhouette, and fabrication to look for when you have a pear shaped body and are trying to find the perfect bathing suit!
Bathing Suits For Pear Shaped Women
Our pear shaped body ladies tend to be more bottom heavy and carry extra weight in the hip, butt and thigh areas. When choosing bathing suits pear shaped women, the best way to combat your “problem areas” is to wear pieces on top that will help balance out the bottom half by drawing attention upwards or disguising where you need to. And depending on what kind of pear you are, sometimes simply highlighting the best part of your figure (your rear ?) and enhancing the less bountiful top part is the way to go. Or simply featuring the top while minimizing the bottom. Just be open to trying different options, because being a pear shape is definitely NOT a one size fits all situation.
Tips for choosing bathing suits for pear shaped women
Color-blocking is a great trend for the pear shaped body to lean towards when bathing suit shopping. Choosing a suit that is one color overall, but has a block of color or change of pattern at the top (generally in the chest area), will help balance out your bottom half.
Asymmetrical designs are another great aspect to favor as it has a similar affect. And for those with a pear shaped body and a lean stomach, choosing bikinis that are high cut on the bottom will also draw attention upwards. If you want to feature your bottom curves in a flattering way, find a great fitting suit with interesting straps and/or cut-outs in back. Smaller tighter bottoms and tops with ruffles often even out the lightly bottom heavy pear shape.
