Which swimsuit for which body type?

Shine brighter than the sun


Every body deserves a swimsuit that flatters its shape.
At Sans Complexe Paris, we help you find the perfect swimsuit to proudly wear this summer and feel great by the water.
Follow our tips to find the swimsuit made for you and your body shape!

1. Which swimsuit to choose when you have curves?

The one-piece swimsuit is a timeless classic that suits all body shapes. It enhances curves and provides a natural sculpting effect. It’s a safe choice to feel both feminine and comfortable in your skin.

At Sans Complexe Lingerie, we offer modern, flattering cuts designed to enhance every silhouette.

Prefer two-pieces? Choose a top that highlights the neckline (with or without underwires) and a slightly high-cut bottom to elongate the legs while maintaining good support.

2. Which swimsuit to shape the bust?

To shape the bust without adding extra volume, go for plunging or rounded styles that naturally enhance the cleavage.

Swimsuits with light padding are perfect for lifting the bust and creating a beautiful shape, while providing discreet yet effective support.

3. Which swimsuit to enhance a fuller bust?

C, D, E, or F cups: good support is essential to feel comfortable and well-supported.

Opt for a full-coverage top with underwires: its enveloping cut supports the bust without compressing it, while ensuring a nice shape.

Looking for a lighter option? Models without underwires but with padded or molded cups offer natural support, perfect for a more relaxed look.

4. Which swimsuit to highlight the waist?

High-waisted bikini bottoms are a must for accentuating the waist. Their retro-inspired style is very trendy and offers a shaping effect that smooths the tummy area.

If you prefer a one-piece, choose a fitted model or one with waist details like pleats or ruching. These features create a beautiful cinched effect and highlight the waist while enhancing your curves.

5. Which swimsuit to flatter the hips?

To enhance a figure with generous hips, go for high-cut bikini bottoms: less coverage around the thighs visually elongates the legs and slims the silhouette, adding a sexy touch.

You can also balance proportions by drawing attention to the upper body, with a printed bandeau top, ruffles, or a plunging neckline.

If you want to minimize this area, avoid very high-waisted bottoms or side details (like knots or ruffles) that can make hips look wider.

6. Which bikini bottom to enhance the behind?

To flatter your behind, go for printed or brightly colored bottoms! Knots, belts, and textured fabrics create the illusion of rounder, fuller curves, adding a fun and feminine touch.

These details add volume where you want it, for a bold yet flattering look.

7. Which swimsuit to flatter broad shoulders?

To enhance broad shoulders, choose simple tops with V-necklines or triangle shapes. These cuts visually lengthen and balance the upper body.

To complete the look, go for more covering bottoms with accessories or contrasting colors to draw attention downward and create a harmonious silhouette.

8. Which swimsuit for a harmonious look with a tummy?

One-piece, two-piece... or tankini?

The tankini is an excellent option for those who want to feel comfortable without compromising on style. Its loose, slightly flared cut follows curves without clinging, and its length—just above the hips—smooths the tummy while elongating the silhouette.

Pair it with a classic bikini bottom for a comfy yet stylish look.
