Which bikini suits your body shape?

Looking for a new bikini? You scroll through dozens of styles online and think: lovely, but is this the right one for me?

Almost every woman knows that feeling. Not because there’s anything wrong with your body, but because the wrong bikini simply doesn’t do what it’s supposed to. You can tell straight away when you’ve found the right one.

It’s not about rules. It’s about how you feel.

There are plenty of lists out there telling you which bikini to choose for your body shape. At LingaDore, we don’t really believe in that.

What we do believe is this: when something fits well, it shows. And if it looks good too, you’ll walk onto the beach with a confidence that lasts all day.

We’d love to share a few tips to help you choose the best bikini for your body shape. Because once you know what to look out for, choosing becomes much easier and more fun.

Bikini for wide hips

Do you have a bit more curve around your hips or thighs? If so, balance is your best friend. You want the top and bottom of your bikini to complement each other, so that your overall silhouette looks just right.

A bikini top with a little more volume or detail at the top will balance out your figure. Pair it with high-waisted bikini bottoms that hug your hips nicely, offering both a slimming and flattering effect.

In the new spring collection, you’ll find beautiful high-waisted styles in soft spring colours that do exactly that.

Bikini for small breasts

Less volume at the top actually gives you more freedom of choice, which is actually an advantage. A bandeau bikini top with light padding or a triangle top with detailing provides just the right amount of volume to complete your silhouette.

What works well:

• A bandeau top with soft padding
• A triangle top with ruffles or fringing
• A top with button detailing or a crossover front
• A striking print at the top
• The details and texture at the top draw the eye upwards and instantly bring your figure to life.

Bikini for large breasts

If you have a fuller bust, it’s all about support that lasts all day. Not a top that gives up halfway through the morning.

A moulded bikini top with wide shoulder straps distributes the weight evenly, creates a flattering shape and stays exactly where it should.

That gives you peace of mind and confidence, all day long.

Straight figure

Are your shoulders and hips roughly the same width and do you have a barely defined waist? If so, a bikini is the perfect way to accentuate your curves.

Choose a top with bow details, fringing or ruffles to add movement and volume. Pair it with high-waisted shorts that accentuate the waist. Prints and textures instantly add more dynamism to your silhouette. Small choices, big difference.

Narrow shoulders, wide hips

Draw attention upwards in a clever way and you’ll instantly strike the right balance. A one-shoulder bikini top does just that, and in a way that’s incredibly stylish too.

The asymmetrical cut naturally draws the eye upwards, making your shoulders appear wider and creating a balanced silhouette. Pair it with plain-coloured trousers for a look that’s spot on from head to toe.

The best bikini is the one you feel good in.

That’s all that matters. At LingaDore, you can mix and match tops and bottoms so you can always put together your perfect outfit.

The new Spring 2026 collection is full of fresh colours, soft fabrics and the best bikini styles to suit every body shape.
