Having a triangular shape doesn’t just mean you have the most common body shape of all—it means that you have curves other women would die for! With narrow hips, a smaller bust, and larger hips and thighs, you have a body that translates well—from dresses to swimsuits—and everything in between! Feeling anxiety over choosing the perfect suit? Have no fear, because whether you’re 25 or 65, your go-to guide to finding the perfect suit for your triangular shape is right here. Enjoy the journey!
Show Off Your Upper Body (and Feel Sexier Than Ever!)
The triangle shaped woman knows what areas of her body she wants to minimize—but may not always know how to find the right swimsuit to accomplish that. Whether you’re shopping for a bikini or a new outfit for work, your rule of thumb should be the same: choose body balance over anything else. In other words, instead of choosing the hottest style on the runway, pick what’s going to balance out your smaller bust with your larger legs and butt.
To feel confident in your suit—whether you’re sunbathing in your backyard or swimming in the ocean—choose a tankini or one piece style that is of a bold pattern on top, and solid on the bottom. A solid black bottom will minimize your butt, while a padded, bold top will bring attention to your upper body and allow you to feel more confident. If you’re feeling a bit insecure about your love handles, choose a haltered ruched style. Here are some more helpful tips to steer you in the right direction:
- When choosing a swimsuit for your triangle shaped body, one pieces, tankinis and bikinis all work. The trick is, choosing a cut that minimizes your hips and thighs and maximizing your bust. Try this safe bet on for size: a bikini top and high waisted skirt bottom. This style is a smart choice because it will help you achieve body balance. Just look for a bikini top that has wider straps so your shoulders and hip size are balanced out.
- Instead of working against your small bust, work with it! You can show off what you’ve got by choosing a bold, printed one piece. Choose a colorful floral pattern such as the Bonita One Piece by Cole of
California (pictured on left), and it will bring attention away from your rear.
- Since triangular shaped women naturally have a smaller bust and wider hips, wraparound dresses always look flattering—and the same style goes for swimsuits! Choose a modern style such as the Be Happy One Piece It Figures suit, or the Beaded Strip Draped Front One Piece by Anne Cole (on right). Both styles will work to flatter your larger hips and smaller waist.
