How To Find The Most Flattering Swimsuit For Every Body Type
Style tips by Kim Appelt!

Hey Guys!

Welcome back to my channel. I often get asked "how do I find the most flattering swimsuit for my body type? " As the weather warms up and summer starts to look like it is on the horizon we start to think about playing in the pool with our kids, going to the beach or just being on the water and putting on a swimsuit. Here are a few "do's and don'ts" when shopping for a flattering swimsuit for your body type and a few suggestions on what styles to look for. Say hi to me down below and let me know if you liked this!

Please put your volume on high.... you have the best fashion advices but it is really hard to hear you🇨🇦

Yes! I'm always telling people to go shopping when they're made up, well-groomed and wearing clothes they feel good in. If you're going to have to look at yourself in the mirror in unflattering lighting, at least do what you can to feel good about yourself. Love that you encouraged the grooming! 
And I love your enthusiasm for all these beautiful body shapes!

I would love to see the trends, just for fun. I’m not planning on buying a new swimsuit this year, I rarely wear mine because I don’t like swimming, but would like to see what’s the latest.

Omg! Your a inverted triangle!!!! I am too!!! I can never find clothing that looks good on me!!!

[bubblestheterrible]

This is the most body-positive bathing suit guide I’ve ever come across yet you provided solid advice as well, thank you!

I'm not sure my body type 33.5-25-35, short torso/long legs, but not really pear because my workouts include weights and I have shoulders. Love Becca swimsuits, they are flattering and don't get bigger when wet. They have some mesh and strategic cutouts that make me look more hourglass.

Can you help me I feel insecure because I have hip dips I feel like it's destroying my figure..I'm hourglass 36 25 36. Idk why it's bothering me but once I noticed the hip dip I never could unsee it after...😥😢

I’m an inverted triangle but with small breast. I find I need to balance my tops and bottoms. I prefer string bikinis bc I can adjust and do not need a lot of chest support. Alternatively if I wear more coverage a high waisted cheeky bottom with thicker deep V top flatters well. I love Luli Fama! The strings are very soft and stretchy and the colors/designs are stunning. The ruched strings flatter a narrow hip area. Thanks for your video.

where have you gone for 2 months, we miss you and your content. hope all is good.

My body shape I believe is rectangle but I have a short torso. When shopping online for suits I feel like most models have long torsos, so it is difficult to imagine how they will look on me. I am 5'9" and with a short torso I have very long legs. Any suggestions?

[Billysophieyogi]

Hi I’m confused my body shape ? I have wide shoulders but small chest - small bum / waist - am I inverted triangle ? Please help 🙏🏻

This video was great and perfect timing! Another idea that would come in handy soon (from what I've been seeing our poor H.R. department go through) now that more people are going back to work is work appropriate styles. (ex: the difference between proper business attire, conservative business casual, business casual, outside of work casual, and bar attire) Apparently lots of people forgot this.

Can’t wait for another video! I love your channel 💗

Hi KimI love your fashion style and guidance! I'm on the lookout for a few new bathing suits for this summer. I'm hourglass but because of covid have put on a little extra particularly in my thighs. I bought some boy shorts and they don't seem to be doing me any favor. I'm in my mid 50s.. OMG and feel kind of peculiar wearing a typical itty bitty bathing suit. What are your thoughts?

[kimjackson]

I'm a pear and I got two flutter sleeve one piece swim suits this year. My daughter is a rectangle and I got her the tankini with the ruffles on top.

[kimberlyperrotis]

I’m a petite, narrow rectangle, but (naturally) busty. I also like the bust support of a halter top, with generous, not skinny, straps. I’m too old for bikinis, so wear one-piece swimsuits, almost always in white, because I’m super-pale and don’t want to bother with fake tanning.

[faykoss]

Hi Kim, Thank you so much for your content you provide & all your hard work that goes into them. I would absolutely love your help with telling me my body type. Do I just send a photo of myself wearing underwear to your Instagram? 😊

[ColleenJoudrey]

I love swimsuits and own upwards of 15 different ones. I'm an hourglass shape but I also have large hip dips so I tend to gravitate towards higher cut legs. I also have a couple long sleeve one-peice swimsuits that are excellent.

[janienichols]

Such great information! I’m a pear and have been on this journey for years (I am 64) But don’t think that 64-year-olds don’t enjoy the water, we just need something with a little more coverage.Ha! Anyway, to contribute to this conversation, I just wanted to say that pears have narrow shoulders and I find that halter style tops fit better. It is hard to keep a strap up on your shoulder if it is too wide. Also instead of a one piece, which would be too big on the top if it fits on the bottom, I prefer a tankini that can be purchased separately. That way you can get your true size for the top and another size for the bottom, it coordinates and you are good to go!

As a stylist would you recommend someone cover their bellybutton if they have an outie?
