Best Bathing Suits for Boxy Body Type

If you have a boxy body type, you don’t have to avoid wearing a bikini this summer. While women with square shapes have hips, a waist and bust line that are usually the same size, you can deliver the ultimate beach body by adding flirty and feminine curves to your boyish frame.

Ruffled Bikinis

Flirty ruffles on your bikini bottoms give a square figure more oomph. Choose a hipster style bikini bottom with ruffled edges along the top to bring femininity and additional curves to an athletic build. When paired with a printed bikini bandeau top featuring contoured padding, your small bust will gain a boost too.

Triangle bikini top with a Peplum-skirted bottom

Frills on the bottom of a bikini will pump up your flat posterior and add curves to square shaped hips. Add flirt to your skirt with a peplum that hangs no more than 3- to 4-inches below the top of your bikini bottom. Pair your frilly-skirted bottom with a triangle top featuring bra-like cups for added curves on top.

Bathing  Suit featuring Ruching

You can’t go wrong with a polka-dotted ruched bikini. The gathers and pleating on the top and bottom of your bikini adds the illusion of curves to a small bust and a square-shaped bottom. A ruched top also creates a flirty neckline and a pin-up worthy shape that diverts the eye upward and balances your boyish hips and thin shapely legs beautifully.

Halter top bikinis

This summer add curves to your slip hips with a bikini bottom featuring side ties and horizontal stripes. String ties at the hips add Marilyn Monroe-inspired curves, while the horizontal stripes make a straight frame look more voluptuous. If you are looking to balance your new curvy bottom, a halter top with molded cups adds a bit of volume to the top. If you have broad shoulders, steer clear of halter tops with spaghetti straps. The skinny straps make athletic shoulders look broader.
