Bodytype: Pear

You have a fuller bottom half in relation to a more petite top half. You could be described as someone with a little ‘junk in your trunk’. What to look for: Balance out this silhouette with details along the neckline like halter, deep v or one-shoulder styles. Keep the attention away from your fuller lower half with bottoms that are solid colours. Crochet Zig-Zag Bikinis, $23; Mix & Match Bikini Bottoms, $18.
