Whether you're pear-shaped, plus-size, small-busted, or anything in between, there's a flattering swimsuit out there for you. The key is to find a style that enhances your best assets and makes you feel confident. We are here to help you find the bikini that complements your body and makes you feel like a model. After all: every body is a beach body!

I think we can all agree that finding the right bikini can be quite the struggle. Finding a great bikini top but then struggling to find a fitting bikini bottom is seriously frustrating. And finding a bikini top that can support your upper body during every water adventure can be even worse. But do not worry: there is a fitting bikini for every body shape. We have an overview with every body shape that tells you which bikini to go for.

Pear shape

Do you have a slim waist and a flat stomach, but fuller legs and wide hips? Then you have a pear shape. A bikini with a print, ruffles, embellishments or color will emphasize your upper body. Go for example for a halter neck bikini or go for a bandeau bikini. Are you not (comfortable) yet with showing off your hips? Then you can choose for a high waisted bikini bottom. Famous celebrities with a pear shaped figure are Kim Kardashian and Christina Aguilera.

Straight figure

Women with a straight figure are slim or have somewhat smaller shapes. You can accentuate your straight figure nicely with a sporty bikini. Choose a bikini with a fun print if you want to create just a little more shape. A monokini or balconette bikini can also highlight your figure. Examples of famous women with a straight figure are Kate Middleton and Cameron Diaz.

Apple shape

If you have an apple figure, you have more volume around the stomach and upper body. Meanwhile, you have slim legs, narrow hips, broad shoulders and a narrow waist. Give your upper body some extra support with an underwire bikini. Want to make it seem like your breasts are smaller? Then choose a plain bikini in a more darker color. Celebs with an apple figure are Jessica Simpson, Lindsay Lohan and Hillary Duff.

Heart shape

If you have a heart shaped body, you have slimmer legs and hips, broad shoulders, fuller arms and fuller around the upper body. Go for an underwire bikini that can highlight your curves on your upper body while also giving your body the right amount of support. Famous examples of women with a heart figure are Naomi Campbell and Demi Moore.

Hourglass shape

With an hourglass shaped body, you have a fuller upper body and fuller hips, while being somewhat more narrow around the waist. Find a bikini that can emphasize your shape, like a monokini, balconette bikini or halter bikini. Big celebrities that have hourglass shaped bodies include Beyoncé, Scarlett Johansson and Eva Longoria.

Whatever your body shape, there's a bikini out there that's perfect for you. So hit the beach with confidence - you look fabulous!
