Choosing a Modbe swimsuit that is right for you may be easier than you think. This year’s lineup of Modbe swimwear was designed to cover and flatter all body types, but our shape guide might give you a little extra guidance if you’re undecided.
~PEAR SHAPE ~
You Have:Smaller shoulders, bust and waist; heavier hips, bottom and thighs.
Guiding Principle:
Balance your proportions by visually slimming your bottom half and playing up your top.
You Want:
Detailed or colorful tops, boat neck tops, horizontal strip tops, hip length tops, A-line skirts, empire waist dresses, bootcut or straight leg pants with bigger pockets, wide strap swim tops to broaden shoulders, and dark swim bottoms either in brief cut or bikini cut.
Modbe Suits That Really Flatter You:
The Halter~
Full-cup coverage with gathering and removable padding gives the illusion of a larger chest.
The Bandeau~
Gathered, padded top that is cinched together in the middle creates a fuller look on top.
The Ruffle Wrap~
Ruffles along the top draw the eye upward to create detail and fullness.
A straight shape, narrow hips, small bust and not-so-curvy waist.
Guiding Principle:
Add visual details that create a womanly figure.
You Want:
Ruffled or detailed tops with nipped waists, lower necklines, fuller sleeves, floating fabrics, tailored curvy jackets, any pant cut, skirts and dresses with a little swing and/or details at the waist, halter or bandeau swim tops, and bikini swim bottoms with colored band or brief cut.
Modbe Suits That Really Flatter You:
The Halter~
Heart-shaped front opening and full-bust coverage gives more shape to the figure.
The Bandeau~
Cinched top and wide straps with fitted mid-section provide a curvy illusion.
The Lace Up~
The “V” in the front and lace-up details create visual curves.
You Have:A full bust and hips, and possibly a dress size of 14 or bigger.
Guiding Principle:
Minimize your curves but don’t deny they’re there.
You Want:
Open necklines, hipbone or wrist length tops and jackets, draping fabrics, fitted tees with scoops or V-necks, bootcut pants, wrap dresses, halter or crossback swim tops and brief cut swim bottoms.
Modbe Suits That Really Flatter You:
The Ruffle Wrap~
Ruffles along the top draw the eye upward. Paired with the black Banded Bikini or the black skirt, this suit will help you look long and lean.
The Diagonal~
The crisscross back offers support in the right places and the ruching disguises any mid-area problems.
The Lace Up~
Lace-up front brings the chest in, and the V-neck opening and adjustable back crisscross ties slim and narrow the body.
The Retro~
Adjustable straps, twisted front and busier prints offer comfort and are visually slimming.
You Have:
A proportioned body and a height under 5’4”.
Guiding Principle:
Wear shapes that don’t overwhelm your delicate frame and zero in on the pieces and combinations that elevate your look.
You Want:
V-neck tops, ½ sleeves, hip length tops, fitted tops, above-the-knee hemline, lower front rise pants, empire waist or long fitted dresses, halter swim tops and bikini or brief cut swim bottoms.
