Find the Best Bikini for Your Body Shape

You may be hooked on your phone, glued to your social media or have a hobby that you think about 24/7. But at Pour Moi we have a rather different obsession - making swimwear that fits you perfectly and accentuates all your best bits. 

We’re total nerds when it comes to making our bikinis look just as fabulous whether you’re a B-cup or a J because we know that there’s nothing like a super-flattering cut to give you that extra blast of beach-side confidence. 

We also firmly believe that you should be able to wear whatever style you want to the beach. Got your eye on a bandeau but fear you’d flash everyone on the water slide? Want to wear a triangle that doesn’t slip down in the time it takes to finish a popsicle? Stop fretting. If you love it, rock it, because, with a little bit of Pour Moi innovation, no style is out of your reach. 

From bandeaus to tankinis to triangles, we’ve worked tirelessly to ensure that all our high-fashion styles work well for everyone, no matter how much support or shaping they need. Even our lightest styles feature moulded pads and underwires to lift you like never before. 

As if that’s not enough, we’ve come up with some extra tips to help you really make the most of your assets. Armed with this bikini body shape guide and a fabulous two-piece from our swimwear collection, you’ll be ready for that poolside selfie in no time. Just call us the bikini whisperer...

If you’ve got beautiful shaped hips, thighs and bum as well as a smaller chest, you’re a pear - and that’s just peachy with us! But did you know that you can turn a pear into an hourglass with the help of a few bikini optical illusions?

• Adding 3D details on your top half while keeping things simple on the bottom is an instant balancing trick. Along with the feminine frills, the Getaway Underwired Top also has a gorgeous bow in the middle to draw the eye - and those admiring glances.
• Stripes can make a big difference to beautiful pears. Whilst a vertical stripe on the bottom will flatter your hips and elongate the look of your legs, going diagonal on top will maximise everything you’ve got up there. Our Stripe Panelled Control Swimsuit does all this and more.
• Resist the temptation to cover up your bottom half completely with a boy short. Instead, opt for the leg-lengthening magic of high-cut bikini briefs, preferably with an adjustable tie that lets you choose where they sit on your beautiful body. The Azure Tie Side Brief are just perfect, as you can wear them above the hip, for a ridiculously flattering look. The matching Azure Halter Lightly Padded Underwired Top features a beautiful centre bow to balance this stunning look.

There’s no need to let small boobs knock your seaside confidence. Instead, think of of their advantages! You can wear those high-fashion itsy bitsy bikini styles in total confidence, something that your bigger boobed friends would envy. But if you want something that gives you some extra oomph where you need it most, try the following tips.

• A good fit and some structure can do way more for your bust than layers of ill-fitting padding. Choosing something with underwire and light padding (like the Orchid Luxe padded underwired bikini top) is great for shaping, plus the vibrant print adds a good dose of visual volume.
• Look for a top with embellishments, a bright print or textured fabrics to maximise. The Free Spirit Strapless Underwired Top has a popping red print and a shirred fabric to give you a great boost.
• Halter tops work brilliantly if you’re smaller on top as they scoop up what you do have, then push it all together in the centre of your chest. Plus, the halter neck can make your shoulders look wider, balancing you out if you’re larger on the bottom. The Splash Frill Halter Underwired Top does all of this but adds a flattering ruffle at the neck edge to further shape your bust.

If you’re curvy with a smaller waist and balanced in the hips and boobs department, then you’ve got a gorgeous hourglass shape. If your bikini goal is to highlight and enhance your curves, we've got the right swimwear to help you how to do just that.

• If you feel comfortable doing so, why not emphasise that beautiful waist! To do this, look for a brief that doesn’t dig in, or sit too low on the hip. Opt for bikini briefs with a wider waist band that sits softly on the tummy and the lower back, like these Paradiso Belted High Waisted Control Brief. The addition of the sexy belt will really let you rock those curves with confidence.
• Look for a balanced bikini, and by that we mean one with similar amounts of embellishments on both the top and bottom. The nautical spots on the Beach House Underwired Non-Padded Top teamed with the matching Beach House Fold Over Brief would work wonderfully well on you.
• Strapless bandeau styles also suit a beautiful hourglass shape, so embrace your natural figure in the gorgeous Santa Cruz Strapless Lightly Padded Underwired Top. With both underwire and light padding, it’s full of hidden features to keep you feeling supported, too.

If you enjoy the feel of a bikini but want a bit more coverage, then you'll love tankini tops and high-waisted bikini bottoms. Not only can these styles be extremely flattering but they also have amazing features that are body-loving and also adjustable so you can wear it how you like.

• Choosing a tankini top with an embellished neckline and some padding up top will help to keep the focus upwards, rather than on your mid-section. The Palermo Underwired Non-Padded Tankini Top does this perfectly, with fabric to hug the curves and a halter neck and underwire to boost your shape - all of which add up to a gorgeous silhouette. Match with the Palermo Brief for a gorgeous look. 
• When the high-waisted bikini brief had its fashion resurgence, women everywhere breathed a collective sigh of relief. And now you can get the seriously sexy pin-up style with additional silhouette-slimming features. The Samoa High-Waist Control Brief not only has a control front panel to support your curves, but it also has a luxe gold ring belt to shape and enhance your natural figure.
• Tankinis is a great way to add flattering touch to any swimwear look, but if they’re too slim fitting they could become uncomfortable. And that’s where ruching comes in. A loosely ruched style such as the Santa Cruz Underwired Strapless Bandeau Tankini Top creates a pretty blouson effect that skims down your body. Yet the channelled ties allow you to pull them up when you want to tan that gorgeous tummy.

Confused as to whether you’re a pear, a square, an apple, or a trapezoid? Don’t worry. Our Pour Moi bikinis are made with all shapes and sizes in mind. With so many to choose from, you’re bound to find your perfect fit. For more inspiration shop our bestselling swimwear styles below.
