Best Swimsuits for an Inverted triangle Body Shape

Swimsuits can add a little more to the lower half and soften the bust line.

This guide is for the inverted triangle body shape: bust at least 5% bigger than the hips, with a waist under 85% of the bust.

Look for

  • Halter and V-neck tops with wide straps and good support
  • Bottoms with ruffles, ties, prints or boy-short cuts
  • One-pieces with a plunging V and a printed or ruched bottom half
  • Dark tops paired with bright or patterned bottoms

Skip or adjust

  • Bandeau tops and off-the-shoulder styles that widen the shoulders
  • Thin string straps if you need support
  • Plain, tiny bottoms with a heavily detailed top
