How To Find The Most Flattering Swimsuit For Every Body Type!
Celebrate your curves and unique forms with swimwear that represents who we are in modern fashion when sustainability, style, and ethics are as important as the newest trends. Choosing the perfect swimwear is like discovering a hidden treasure, emphasizing your natural beauty, and increasing your confidence, elegance, and empowerment.
Let's help you find sustainable swimwear that accentuates your curves.
Celebrating Your Distinct Silhouette
Each figure has a unique story to tell. Whether you have an hourglass, pear, apple, rectangular, or inverted triangle shape, there’s a swimsuit designed to flatter and accentuate your best features. The key is understanding your silhouette and choosing options that balance and enhance your proportions.
Hourglass
If you have wonderfully balanced curves, think of bikinis that accentuate your natural shape. Look for items accentuating your hips and breasts and cinching at the waist. For a traditional style, consider a bikini with high-waisted bottoms; else, highlight your waist with a fitting one-piece with a belt.
To wonderfully highlight your bust and offer support, think about a halter top with an underwire or a balconette design.
Consider the Cannonball Top and the Asylum Brief.
Pear-Shaped
For those with fuller hips and a narrower upper body, it’s all about creating balance. Opt for bright, patterned bottoms paired with a solid, supportive top. This combination draws the eye upward while flattering your curves. Think of a bikini with a detailed, vibrant bottom, like a bottom from our Fuschia collection, and pair them with a streamlined, eco-friendly top crafted from sustainable materials—perfect for a sunny day by the beach.
Also, high-waisted bottoms that hit just below the smallest part of your waist or a skirted bottom to minimize the hip area are flattering choices. The Asylum bottom is a perfect choice.
Apple-Shaped
Emphasize structure and support to create a sleek, flattering look. Swimsuits with built-in support, such as underwire or adjustable straps, can enhance your silhouette while providing comfort and confidence. Consider a stylish one-piece with strategic ruching around the midsection to create a more defined waistline; our Hero one-piece is a customer favorite! Alternatively, a high-waisted bikini offers both coverage and style.
Look for ruching around the midsection to create a more defined waistline or asymmetrical designs to draw the eye diagonally. Every piece at Laya Swim is designed with aesthetics and ethical production in mind, ensuring you look good while feeling good about your choices.
Rectangular and Inverted Triangle
The goal is to create curves for those with a straighter silhouette or broader shoulders. Look for designs that incorporate details such as padding, ruching, or embellishments, adding dimension. A bandeau top or a one-piece with a cinched waist can add curves where you want them. The Lady Top is a great choice.
Also, consider a swimsuit with a plunging neckline or a ruffled top to add volume to the bust area. This helps define the silhouette and fits a modern aesthetic that prioritizes sustainability and style. Explore our Gone Hollywood one pieces for a look that adds dimension and flair.
The Intersection of Sustainability and Style
In a world where fast fashion often dominates, choosing swimwear that is both sustainable and stylish is a powerful statement. At Laya, every design celebrates ethical fashion practices without compromising on the trends that make you feel fabulous. Here are some key elements to consider when selecting your next swimsuit:
Eco-Friendly Fabrics: Our collections often feature innovative, eco-conscious Oeko Tex certified materials, which are sustainable but also soft, breathable, and perfect for swimwear. These materials reduce environmental impact while offering superior comfort and durability.
Timeless Designs: Despite the cyclical nature of trends, the timeless elegance of a well-crafted silhouette endures. Our designs are modern yet timeless, ensuring that your swimsuit isn’t just a fleeting trend but a long-term investment in your wardrobe and the planet.
Ethical Production: Knowing that your swimsuit was made under ethical conditions adds an extra layer of confidence. Every piece results from meticulous craftsmanship and ethical production practices in our partner family-owned factory in Mauritius, making it a choice you can feel proud to wear.
Flattering Features and Functional Fashion
When searching for the perfect swimsuit, functionality plays as much a role as style. A flattering crop or triangle swimwear should enhance your curves and offer the support and comfort needed for lounging poolside and active water adventures.
Support Where You Need It: A well-designed swimsuit provides the right support. Whether you opt for an underwire bikini top or a one-piece with built-in support, look for designs that enhance your natural shape without compromising comfort. Smart design details and adjustable straps can significantly improve your experience.
Coverage and Confidence: Some days, you might want a little more coverage, while other days, you’re ready to show it all. The beauty of our curated collections is that they offer versatility. You can mix and match our high-waisted bottoms, strategic cut-outs, and supportive tops to create a combination that makes you feel both sexy and secure.
Vibrant Colors and Patterns: Strong colors and bold designs will help you to straighten your silhouette and improve your mindset. The appropriate design will help you look better and increase your confidence, whether your taste is for a basic black for its slimming power or a splash of bold colors to capture your vivid personality.
Lifestyle Narratives That Inspire
Imagine yourself on a sunny beach, the sound of waves in the background, and a gentle breeze that perfectly complements your stylish, ethically made swimsuit. Your outfit isn’t just a piece of clothing; it expresses your personality and values.
Styling Tips for Every Occasion
The right accessories will improve your look, whether your beach day is relaxed or a sophisticated pool party.
Coverups and Sarongs: A chic coverup protects your skin and adds an element of effortless style. Choose lightweight fabrics that compliment your swimsuit without overshadowing it. Our signature Sarong is the perfect addition to your swimsuit.
Beach Bags and Sunglasses: Functional accessories like a chic beach bag or big sunglasses will accentuate your ensemble. Seek for objects as carefully crafted as your swimwear that combines design with utility. Our Beach Bag is the perfect accessory.
Layering for Versatility: Don’t be afraid to mix and match your swimwear with casual summer outfits. A bikini paired with a denim jacket or a one-piece teamed with a breezy skirt can create versatile looks seamlessly transitioning from water to land.
