Debenhams’ latest offerings let you lounge around or swim in style. From snake-print swimsuits to high-shine bikinis, the brand’s sultry hits make a statement on their own.

 

On this spread, find the right swimsuit for your body type.

 

Pear

 

This looks wider around the lower half of the body (hips, thighs and bum) with narrow shoulders and a smaller bust.

 

Balance out your proportions in a bikini that draws attention away from your lower half and up toward your chest.

 

Try low-cut briefs that draw attention upward.

 

Swimsuits made of control fabrics, with drapes or ruching, will help you achieve a slimmer look by adding support and hiding problem areas.

 

Apple

 

Women with this physique are curvy on the hips and thighs.

 

Opt for a bikini with details on the bust to take the attention away from other areas.

 

Tankinis are a good choice for those who wish to hide their stomach.

 

For more coverage, fold-over bikini bottoms help hide wide hips and your stomach.

 

A one-piece is a great way to add proportion to curves, while vertical prints elongate the body and empire lines enhance the narrowest point of your waist.

 

Triangle

 

This is wider at the shoulders and torso and narrower at the hips.

 

Select swimwear that highlights the bottom half of your body, so look for bikini bottoms with a side-tie.

 

Opt for a sweetheart neckline to take the focus away from your shoulders.

 

Look for swimsuits with hidden support, such as an underwire.

 

Rectangle

 

This is quite straight without curves.

 

Swimwear should always add curves.

 

Create the illusion of curves with padded and printed tops.

 

Go for frills on the hips to enhance your waist.

 

Hourglass

 

This shape consists of a small, well-defined waist with equally proportioned shoulders, bust and hips.

 

The most enviable of figures looks better in a matching bikini set.

 

Underwire styles will offer more support, as well as beautifully enhance your shape.

 

Debenhams is at Shangri-La Plaza, Shaw Boulevard cor. Edsa, Mandaluyong City; and 3/F, Glorietta 2, Ayala Center, Makati City.
