The different designs at a glance
Which bikini tops are available? To help you make the right decision, here is an overview of the different types of women's bikini tops.
- Underwired bikini: it gives you support and security with its integrated underwires and high, preshaped cups. You can move freely without anything slipping. The underwired bikini top is available both padded and unpadded.
- Bikini top push-up: if you have a small bust, this bikini top will give you more volume and a beautifully shaped décolletage.
- Tankini top: a cross between a swimsuit and bikini is the tankini, and thus the most beautiful alternative if you want a two-piece swimsuit but do not want to show too much skin.
- Wireless bralette: the bustier style top is causal and sexy at the same time. Support is provided by the elastic underbust panel and wider straps.
- High-neck top: a high-necked top with narrow straps and an irregular cut. Your choice if you are looking for a sports bikini.
- Bandeau: This bikini top does not need straps. Rods worked into the sides keep everything in shape with this straight cut top. For a seamless tan in the décolletage and shoulder area.
- Triangle bikini: a sexy top that shows off your skin. Two triangular cups are held by narrow straps that are tied at the neck and back.
- Neckholder bikini top: this very feminine, elegant top has wider straps that are tied at the neck. The décolletage is shown off to its best advantage. Neckholder bikinis are available padded or unpadded and with or without underwire.
Finding the perfect bikini top is a question of knowing your body type
What type are you? We are definitely talking about appearances here, because your figure tells you which bikini top fits you best.
Pear shape – feminine figure with narrow upper body and wide hips
The Bandeau bikini top is ideal for you because it slightly widens the upper body visually. An underwired bikini gives you more support. Tankini tops and high neck tops will also look good on you. Your bikini top can be eye-catching, using colour, patterns or details like frills.
V-shape – wide shoulders, narrow hips and legs
A neckholder emphasises your feminine side, the triangle bikini top appears to have been tailored to your body. When it comes to colours and patterns, bikini bottoms should play the leading role in your wardrobe and emphasise your slim hips.
Apple shape – full décolletage, rounded belly, slender legs
You have the perfect figure for the trendy high waist bikini. As a top, underwired bikini tops or tankinis are an option. Mesh panels ensure exciting visual impact. It is best to choose darker colours, for example your bikini top can be black.
H shape – straight, slim figure without curves
Add a little fullness: Your bikini top can be opulent in terms of colours, patterns and details. Padded underwired bikini tops conjure up an added cup size.
Hourglass shape – feminine curves, narrow waist, full décolletage, prominent hips
You can just wear anything you choose. Emphasise your figure with a neckholder top, show skin in a bandeau top, choose a bikini without underwire or be casual with a high-neck top. Whether you prefer simple designs or sophisticated details, everything will suit you.
