Best Swimsuits for an Apple Body Shape
Swimwear should feel comfortable and supportive, and a few details help.
This guide is for the apple body shape: waist at 85% or more of the wider of bust and hips.
Look for
- One-pieces with ruching across the midsection
- Tankinis that drape over the waist, paired with high-waisted bottoms
- Wrap fronts and V-neck styles
- Prints or colour-blocking on the sides for a longer line
Skip or adjust
- Thin string bikinis if you want more coverage
- Cut-outs across the waist
- Very tight, unlined fabrics
