Deep V-necklines emphasize your narrow midsection
Belted styles highlight your waist
Vertical stripes elongate the body
Diagonal stripes visually cinch the waist
High-leg bottoms give you legs for days

What Swimsuit Features to Avoid for Pear Shape

There are dos and then there are absolutely nots. To avoid looking bottom heavy, steer clear of ruffled or skirted bottoms, boy shorts and string bikinis. Instead, opt for styles that balance your figure and draw attention to your top half. What to avoid:

Skirted bottoms that add volume on bottom

Ruffled bottoms that draw the eye to the hips

Swim shorts and low-rise bottoms that widen the look of the hips

String bikinis that don’t provide enough coverage
