Choosing the Right Style for Your Body Shape

Choosing the Right Style for Your Body Shape

At Lazur, we believe in celebrating all body types. Here’s a breakdown of which swimwear styles might work best for different body shapes:

Hourglass (Balanced Bust and Hips with a Defined Waist)

  • Best Styles: Almost anything! Hourglass figures are naturally balanced, so play with different silhouettes. Bandeau tops with cutouts (like our Lazur Beach-Day top) emphasize your waist while keeping things chic.
  • Tip: High-waisted bottoms can highlight your curves even more.

Pear (Wider Hips, Narrower Shoulders)

  • Best Styles: Look for tops that create balance. Off-shoulder or halter styles draw attention upwards, and high-cut or tie-side bottoms elongate the legs.
  • Tip: Bold prints or embellishments on top paired with simple, solid bottoms can create a balanced look.

Athletic (Straight Waist, Smaller Bust and Hips)

  • Best Styles: Opt for swimsuits with details that add curves. Ruffles, bows, and padding on the top can create the illusion of a fuller bust, while cut-out styles (like this Cut-Out One Piece) add dimension to your shape.
  • Tip: Triangle tops and cheeky bottoms create the illusion of curves.

Apple (Fuller Bust, Less Defined Waist)

  • Best Styles: Look for swimwear that offers support for your bust while creating a slimming effect. Wrap styles, plunging necklines, and high-waisted bottoms work wonders for accentuating your figure.
  • Tip: Darker colors on the bottom paired with brighter tops can help balance your proportions.

Inverted Triangle (Broader Shoulders, Narrower Hips)

  • Best Styles: You’ll want to bring attention downward. Try bottoms with details like side ties or bold patterns. Choose plunging necklines or scoop necks to soften broad shoulders.
  • Tip: Choose fuller-coverage tops with adjustable straps for support and comfort.
