How to pick a swimsuit for an pear body?

There’s nothing like the feeling of slipping into a swimsuit that truly fits — one that flatters your curves and moves with your body. If you have a pear-shaped figure, you likely have delicate shoulders, a defined waist, and fuller hips that give your silhouette a soft, feminine look.

At Noire Swimwear, we create designs that enhance your natural proportions, bringing balance and confidence to every fit. Below, you’ll find a curated selection of styles made to flatter pear-shaped bodies — pieces that highlight your waist, accentuate your curves, and feel like they were made especially for you.

Understanding the Pear Shape

Pear-shaped figures are defined by gentle, feminine curves — with hips that are fuller than the bust and shoulders, and a waist that naturally tapers in between. This shape often creates a beautifully soft, grounded silhouette that feels effortlessly elegant.

Key traits:

  • Hips wider than bust and shoulders
  • A naturally defined waist
  • Softer, rounded hips and thighs
  • Narrower shoulders or smaller bust

Your goal when choosing swimwear is to balance your proportions — drawing attention upward, defining the waist, and highlighting your curves in a way that feels natural and confident.

Tops that flatter

Choose tops that add structure, lift, or visual detail around the neckline.

  • Underwire Tops — Offer gentle lift and support, defining your bust while creating a beautiful upper-body focus. Styles like the Ruched Balconette or Coquillage Balconette bring both shape and elegance.
  • Off-the-Shoulder Tops — Perfect for highlighting your shoulders and collarbone, these designs add width to the upper frame and create a soft, feminine balance to fuller hips. We recommend the Papillon Top.
  • Halter Tops — Adjustable and flattering, they let you control your coverage and lift. Try our Multiway Top, which can be tied as a halter to draw the eye upward and create a beautifully proportioned look.

Bottoms that Flatter

The goal is to highlight your waistline while keeping the focus upward and creating a sleek, elongated look.

Opt for darker or neutral shades on the bottom — they visually slim and soften the hip area, creating harmony with your overall proportions.

One-Pieces that Flatter

For pear-shaped bodies, one-pieces are one of the most flattering and versatile choices — they naturally smooth, sculpt, and balance your proportions while accentuating your waist.

  • V-Neck One-Pieces — The plunging neckline elongates your torso and emphasizes the bust, creating a beautifully proportioned shape. Styles like the Sienna V One Piece or Lace-Up One Piece bring subtle lift and effortless elegance.
  • Color-Blocking One-Pieces — Strategic contrast panels or darker tones around the hips help define your waist and balance your proportions. Try our Color Block Cut-Out One Piece for a sleek, sculpted effect.
  • Scoop-Neck One-Pieces — Soft and feminine, the scoop neckline highlights your shoulders and collarbone, gently broadening the upper body for harmony with fuller hips. The Adele Scoop One Piece is a timeless, flattering choice.
  • Halter-Neck One-Pieces — This style lift the bust and showcase your shoulders, naturally drawing attention upward. We recommend the Elara Clasp One Piece or Ruched Halter Neck One Piece for a confident, balanced fit.

Whether sleek and minimal or detailed and sculpted, one-pieces are an ideal fit for pear-shaped bodies, offering comfort, coverage, and a confidence-boosting silhouette that feels made just for you.
