Bandeau tankini
Tankini looks good on women of any body shape.
Tankini for petite women
Women with a petite body shape can highlight their waist by wearing a tankini top that has a curvy seam-line and is made of a good stretch material that hugs the body tightly.
A tankini with some detailing at the waistline also helps highlight the waist.
Team up your tankini top with a string bikini. Tie strings at the sides will give an illusion of distinct body curves and make you look glamorous.
For a more feminine look, go for tankini with frills and tiers. These look sexy and feminine.
Avoid bandeau style tankini as it will flatten your chest. Also stay away from boy-shorts.
Tankini for plus-size women
Plus-size women can also gain benefit from tankini. Choose a tankini that covers the torso completely and touches the waistline.
Team up your tankini top with boy-shorts as it provides maximum butt coverage and also creates an illusion of a less wide hip. Don’t go for plunging necklines. You can also mix and match the two pieces of your swimsuit with dark and light colors. Avoid monochromes.
