How To Choose a Bikini

Here are pictures of bikinis that I like and that I would personally wear.  Choosing the perfect bikini is tough because every girl's body shape is different.  I found all of these on the ASOS swimwear section.  

(I love the fringe.  I think it's going to be big this summer)

To smaller chested girls.  I would choose a bikini top that has ruffles to give the illusion that there is more going on by creating a voluminous texture.  If you don't like ruffles, I find buying a bigger sized bikini top gives the illusion of a bigger chest.  I usually associate more fabric material = more body parts to cover.  Maybe I'm the only one who thinks like that.  I think smaller chested girls look cuter in bandeau tops but not so great in triangle bikini tops.  


(I think this bikini set is universally flattering)

To bigger bottom girls.  I would stay away from patterns.  Patterned bottoms draw attention and that's something you don't want.  I don't think high waisted bottoms hides a bigger bottom.  I think it does the opposite since they have more material.  And I associate more fabric with the need to cover a larger body part.  I would just buy a regular solid bikini bottom.  Also, stay away from ruffled skirted bottoms.  I think it gives the illusion of a bigger bum.  


(love the top! it's super daring but it would create horrible tan lines)

To bigger chested girls.  Your options are endless.  You can wear almost any styled bikini top.


To smaller bottomed girls.  You would look so cute in those ruffled skirted bottoms.  Take advantage of that.  They are so cute and girly.  


Some more I like:


More tips:

- Avoid tan/beige coloured bikinis because you end up looking naked
- Don't buy tops that are unpadded because it's embarrassing if you get cold 
(if you know what I mean)
- Be careful with white bikinis and make sure they are lined properly 
so they aren't see through when wet
- Wear sunscreen and use a big hat to cover your face
- Get a brazilian wax

  2. I agree, as a smaller chest girl, triangle tops are my worst enemy! Although, I actually find triangle tops are unflattering on all sizes also. I hate seeing a busty ladies wearing teeny tiny triangle tops; it screams trashy.

    1. oh yeah! totally agree about triangle bikini tops on busty women. espeically if the triangle top is too small for them. yuck. that's why I usually buy a size bigger (to keep everything in place) so it's doesn't look too trashy.

  4. Great post - agree with all of it! Also big AND small bottomed girls should always make sure they aren't prancing around the beach with bottoms that are too tight or too loose - both ending up with a thong look!

  6. I totally agree with you about the extra fabric thing. Everyone assumes that's the solution for larger body parts. I love one-pieces, but I don't want to seem like I'm trying to cover something up. XD

  9. Hi! I stumbled onto your blog and found your posts to be a great time-waster. I have a mildly embarrassing question: do you have any recommendations on places to get a well-done wax in Vancouver or the Lower Mainland?

    1. hey! thanks for the compliment :) i'm glad these little post are enjoyable to you as they are for me to write them :)

      i go to TY beauty salon on Burrad and Howe. it's in the building on the south east corner on the 4th floor room 411. Christy there does a great job. She's super thorough it's $30 if you are her regular customer and come a lot or $40ish.
