We get that finding a flattering swimsuit can be daunting. Every woman has insecurities (even though they're likely not visible to others) as well as body parts she loves and aims to accentuate. Whether you prefer to show off the shape of your booty or boost your cleavage in a scooped top, we have a silhouette for you to fall in love with. In fact, we're sure there will be at least two to three designs that suit your figure and your taste, hands down.

01

A Bright Color You Feel Confident In

Look for a structured maillot in a color you love that makes your skin glow when you're on the beach. That bright pop will give you a boost of confidence.

02

Sports Bra Tops

We love the sporty feel of something solid and neoprene, and when you find the right silhouette for your shape and color for your mood, you'll want to strut your stuff all over the place.

03

A Plunging Collared Neckline

Take the plunge and try a collared top with extended sleeves or ruffles, which will flatter your arms.

04

A Leopard Maillot

This is one of the most sophisticated styles you could possibly shop this season, and it's right on trend. When you opt for a style that provides coverage and support, you can still look modest, even in wild animal print.

05

Something Ribbed

These suits provide way more structure and comfort than you'd think. Shop for one in your favorite silhouette, and allow the fabric to hug your body like a glove.

06

Sheer Overlay

For more active days or extra protection from the sun's rays, opt for a mesh top that you can throw over a triangle bikini top.

07

Adjustable Straps

We love one-pieces that can be fitted to just the right height. These type of suits also work wonders as a bodysuit with cutoffs or jeans for going out.

08

Colorblock

A suit like this one creates a slimming effect on anyone who wears it, giving off the illusion of a longer torso thanks to defined stripes.

09

A Belted One-Piece

Look for something in white or black with boho-style texture, and add a seashell belt or some type of hardware that draws attention to your waist and further defines your curves.

10

Zipper Details

Zippers allow you to manipulate your look so you can feel sexy or more covered up, depending on your mood.

11

Classic Prints

Look for black and white stripes or polka dots instead of trying a print that's too distracting or busy. Plus, you'll get way more wear out of something that's classic. It'll still be in style next season.

12

Two-Toned

Mix and match your bikini top and bottom to highlight certain assets. Go for a lighter shade up top if you want to attract eyes upward, toward the cleavage area.

13

Ruched Bottoms

These are extremely flattering for any shape or size, whether the ruching is at the front or the back of your suit. The fabric gathers toward the center and draws attention inward, becoming a booty-defining bottom.

14

Long Sleeves

If you prefer a sleek, sporty look with extra coverage, something with a flashy sheen will look great with your tinted lenses. To add a girlie touch, look for bows or feminine prints.

15

A Cutout Bikini

These details draw attention to and flatter your waistline.

16

A Triangle-Style Bottom

Look for bottoms that point diagonally upward, framing your hips and defining your gorgeous legs.

17

A High-Leg Cut

Whether you're a one-piece babe or a bikini gal, there's no denying that a high-leg cut lengthens the legs, seemingly making you appear taller, if that's what you're going for. It's an '80s trend that's coming back, and we're grateful for it.

18

Ruffled Sleeves

A flouncy top like this one looks ladylike and feminine. Opt for underwire, and your bikini will subtly hug your bust so you feel secure.

19

Scoop-Neck Tops

These flatter your chest and provide extra lift, plus it's way easier to go for a jog or stroll on the beach in something without ties that could become loose.

20

An Open-Back Maillot

Rather than a deep plunge in the front, show some extra skin from behind. Look for a piece with spaghetti straps to give off '90s vibes.

21

A Lace-Up Suit

Accent the lace-up details on your suit with a pair of fun sunglasses, which will make your beach ensemble feel well-thought-out and polished. That, in and of itself, is flattering.
