Pear Shape
With your body shape, you have tons of flattering options! Bikinis and tankinis will give you a better range of sizes, as your top size and bottom size are likely different. Tops with eye-catching details, like ruffles or bold patterns, will take the attention off your bottom half, giving an hourglass effect.

When we think of the perfect bikini, this is the one that comes to mind!
