How to choose the perfect swimsuit?
Fear not, NOÌRE team has got your back!
We know how important it is for a woman to feel confident in
her own skin and to find pieces that highlight her natural beauty. Whether
you’re looking for something that flatters your body type, you’re undecided
about certain designs, or you simply want to rediscover your style, NOÌRE is
here for you.
It’s no secret — every woman has a different body type, hair color, and skin tone. Once you decide which part of your body you’d like to accentuate, it’s essential to find swimwear in the right color and cut. The most important thing is to choose pieces that embrace your shape and don’t need constant adjustment. That way, you’ll feel just as amazing as you look.
Whether you’re drawn to a trikini, a Brazilian bottom, or a full-coverage one-piece, NOÌRE reveals our top swimwear selections to guide you toward finding the perfect swimsuit.
Is your body shape pear-like? Then highlight your bust.
If your hips are your best feature and you have a defined waist, embrace your sensual side and draw attention to your bust. Choose tops that offer support and enhance your natural curves, such as push-up styles, the Nikki Push-Up, Bandeau Top, Balconette Ruched, or pieces from the Coquillage Collection all designed to lift the bust and shape the neckline, creating balanced body proportions. You can also opt for a one-piece swimsuit with a waist belt or built-in underwire for added structure.
For the bottoms, we recommend high-cut styles like the Nikki V-Cut Bottom, which visually elongate the legs and balance your silhouette.
Most importantly, avoid full-coverage or very high-waisted bottoms, as they can flatten the shape and conceal your beautiful natural lines.
For an apple-shaped body, balance your proportions and draw attention to your lower body.
For one-piece swimsuits, a V-neckline will visually elongate your torso and slim the upper body, while halter-neck swimsuits offer excellent bust support. Details around the waist can make a major difference — belts and subtle draping help create the illusion of a more defined waistline.
When it comes to bikini tops, we recommend balconette styles with wide, adjustable straps for comfort and the perfect fit.
To create balance, opt for neutral tones on top and bold prints or colors on the bottom, or choose high-waisted bottoms that elongate the legs, provide tummy coverage, and visually balance the bust with the hips.
Avoid ruffles or volume details on the upper part, as they can add unwanted bulk, and steer clear of strapless swimsuits, which may lack bust support and make the torso appear broader.
My body is athletic (rectangular) — what should I do? Your hips are your best friend!
If your hips and shoulders are proportionate and your waist is less defined, the key is to draw attention to your hips. Side-tie bikini bottoms or high-waisted styles help accentuate the waistline and elongate the legs, creating a more balanced silhouette.
As for bikini tops, we recommend push-up or triangle styles to enhance your natural curves and create a lifted look. Ruffles or gathered details draw attention to the bust, while wider straps help balance your shoulder-to-hip proportions.
Pairing light-colored tops with darker bottoms can create the illusion of an hourglass figure.
Our tip for you: avoid low-rise or wide-side bikini bottoms, as they can hide your shape and make your figure appear less defined.
Inverted triangle body shape? Show off those legs!
If your shoulders are broader than your hips, your bust is fuller, and your waist is less defined, the goal is to balance the upper and lower body by adding volume to the hips and softening the width of the shoulders.
For swimsuits, deep V-neck one-pieces elongate the neckline and visually slim the bust, while thin straps help reduce the appearance of broad shoulders. Even asymmetrical swimsuits, such as the Emerald One-Shoulder Swimsuit, beautifully complement this silhouette.
When it comes to bikini tops, triangle styles with thin straps in darker shades are ideal to draw less attention to the upper body and visually narrow the shoulders. Avoid ruffles or excessive detailing on top, as they can add unnecessary volume.
For the bottoms, NOÌRE recommends low- or mid-rise styles with high-cut legs to elongate your figure. Bold prints or textured fabrics on the bottom are perfect for drawing the eye downward and balancing your proportions.
Hourglass body shape? Highlight your waist.
The hourglass figure features balanced shoulders and hips with a well-defined waist. The goal is to emphasize your natural curves without disrupting the harmony between your upper and lower body.
Opt for cuts that accentuate the waist, such as the Seashell Balconette One Piece or the Leia One Piece, which draw attention to your waistline while maintaining balance on top and bottom.
Balconette tops enhance the bust and create a harmonious silhouette, while triangle styles flatter your natural curves. For a minimalist yet figure-enhancing look, the Black Nikki Triangle Top is a perfect choice.
As for bikini bottoms, high-cut and high-waisted designs beautifully accentuate the silhouette, creating the illusion of longer, leaner legs.
