Shopping for\u00a0swimwear\u00a0can be frustrating, and the thought of wearing\u00a0it in public could be traumatic... All the while being discouraged as we see friends or celebrities proudly Instagram their perfect bikini bods.<\/p>

It's wise to remember that while bikini is a popular beachwear<\/a>, the classic one-piece or tankinis<\/em> too can flatter you, depending on your shape. So embrace your body and be confident in your own skin because whatever your shape may be, there is a perfect swimsuit <\/a>out there for you!<\/p>

In our gallery, we rounded up 15 stylish swimsuits suitable for\u00a0the five major figures:\u00a0apple, athletic, straight, pear or hourglass.<\/strong> Each shape is beautiful and\u00a0delights in\u00a0its own assets, whether shoulders, bust, waist or legs. Find out which model brings out the best in you by first determining your\u00a0figure:<\/p>

Finding your body shape<\/span> <\/h2>

1.<\/strong>\u00a0Apple shape\u00a0<\/strong>has\u00a0a relatively heavy top but tiny limbs from the waist down.\u00a0You have broader shoulders, a tummy pooch but a pair of thin\u00a0legs to make up for that!<\/p>

2. Athletic (strawberry) shaped\u00a0<\/strong>people are\u00a0slim and athletic.\u00a0Usually boy-like with broad shoulders, narrow hips, muscular limbs but with very little curves.<\/p>

3. Straight shape\u00a0<\/strong>is similar to athletic shape but without the broad shoulders.\u00a0You are lacking in the curves department but you can pull off itty bitty bikinis.<\/p>

4. Pear shape\u00a0<\/strong>tends to\u00a0carry weight below the waistline. The bust is (usually) much smaller than the hip, but the waist is small and slender.<\/p>

5. Hourglass body type<\/strong>\u00a0is curvy with a small waist. People with this body shape have similar bust and hip with measurements.<\/p>

Whether you are hourglass shaped like Kim K, straight like Cameron Diaz, or apple like Kate Winslet, dreading wearing flaw-revealing swimsuits\u00a0will be a thing of the past. Right now, the beach awaits you!<\/a><\/p>
