Having trouble finding a swimsuit you actually love? Maybe you’ve already missed out on pool days — or you’re anxiously wondering if you’ll be able to find something by the time your booked vacation comes around. If you have a pear-shaped body, it’s important to shop specifically for your body type for the best, fastest path to success!
Pear-shaped bodies have wider hips and thighs compared to their shoulders and chest. This shape is also called a triangle. Highlighting your waist is a good way to go, but many shoppers may also want to concentrate on balancing things out. This means looking for swimwear that broadens the shoulders or pulls attention to the chest with details like puff sleeves, wide necklines, etc. We’ll show you 21 examples below, all of which you can order now!
