What swimsuit is best for small busts? 👙

Are you looking for a swimsuit that will make you look stunning on the beach or by the pool this summer? Would you like to know which style to choose to enhance your bust?

I will help you.

As a fashion enthusiast, I see swimsuits as true fashion pieces. They are not just practical for enjoying the water, they are also a way to feel beautiful in summer and to soak up the sun!

That's why today I’m sharing a detailed guide to help you find the swimsuit that will enhance your figure, no matter your size.

If you have a smaller bust, opt for a swimsuit with patterns and features that add volume (like ruffles, pleats, or cut-outs), as well as a colour that contrasts with your skin tone to enhance your look. You can wear a bikini, but one-piece swimsuits, especially those with cut-outs or asymmetrical designs, can really highlight your slender figure. Tankinis are a perfect compromise between the two styles, combining the flattering shape of a one-piece with the practicality of a two-piece!

How to Choose the Right Bathing Costume When You Have a Smaller Bust?

When you have a smaller bust, choosing a swimsuit can quickly become a headache. Many styles tend to slip or are designed for larger cups, which doesn't make them very flattering. In the following lines, I’ll share my tips for finding the swimsuit that will make you feel fabulous on the beach!

Dare to try patterns

Whether it’s Liberty prints, floral or animal patterns, or even polka dots and stripes, patterned swimsuits are ideal for drawing attention to your whole body rather than just your breasts. Large patterns are especially suitable, as they easily create an illusion of volume.

Additionally, patterned swimsuits allow you to choose swimwear that showcases your tastes and what makes you unique in the world!

Choose styles that add volume

Women with a smaller bust often have an athletic body type: in this case, you might be looking for tips to create the illusion of curves on your body, in order to achieve a very feminine silhouette. To do this, I recommend paying attention to the details when selecting your swimsuit.

For example, you might choose a bikini with frills:

• at the bust area, to add a bit more volume,
• at the waist, to widen it at your hips and enhance your femininity.

Here are some additional tips that can enhance your bust:

• Gathered swimwear at the bust,
• A two-toned swimsuit, with a lighter colour at the bust and a darker colour towards the bottom,
• Sequins, embroidery, metal loops or a simple bow at the chest…

Choose a Colour that Enhances Your Complexion

Wearing a swimsuit that fits your body shape is essential for comfort: however, it’s not the only thing that matters. Choosing a colour that suits your skin tone is a great way to feel fabulous in your swimwear, and thus to boost your confidence when wearing it.

To achieve this, all you need is to know a few simple tips:

🔸 If you have a tan with olive or caramel skin, white, cream, and pastel swimsuits will look fantastic on you. You can also dare to wear a black bikini with gold accents for a very sexy look.

🔸 On the contrary, if you tend to blush rather than tan, I recommend bright and dark shades. Cool tones like navy blue or forest green will suit you particularly well, but you can also opt for a lovely ochre or burgundy swimsuit.

One-bedroom or two-bedroom?

This is a crucial question when looking for a swimsuit. The answer will depend on several factors:

• The use of swimsuits: if it’s sportswear for swimming, one-piece swimsuits are generally more suitable.
• Your preferences: every woman has her own preference between one-pieces and bikinis. Trust your instincts, while sometimes daring to step out of your comfort zone if something catches your eye!

Generally speaking, I would recommend one-piece swimsuits for women with smaller busts: they stay in place well, whereas bikini tops can often ride up when you dive or with the waves. 😉

4 Swimwear Styles That Will Enhance Your Bust

I’ve selected for you four perfect swimsuit styles for smaller busts: feel free to get inspired by these suggestions for your next shopping spree!

A bikini with a bandeau top

This type of swimsuit is mainly suited for individuals with a smaller bust, as, while it accentuates your figure like a crop top, it doesn’t provide much support. However, it looks great paired with high-waisted bikini bottoms, highlighting your silhouette and emphasising your waist.

A lacy swimsuit

Choosing a cut-out swimsuit is a great compromise if you're having trouble deciding between a bikini and a one-piece. It reveals your skin in a sexy way, much like a two-piece, while still providing enough support, which is very practical if you plan on swimming in the waves or diving.

A Tankini

The tankini is also a great option for those with a smaller bust. In fact, it is easy to put on and take off, while enhancing your silhouette like a one-piece swimsuit. Additionally, the two parts of the tankini are distinct in terms of colour and patterns, allowing you to easily accentuate your bust with a lighter shade, unique designs, or a cut-out style that showcases your abs.

An asymmetrical swimsuit

This type of swimsuit is ideal for women with a smaller bust, as its original cut draws attention away and does not highlight the volume of your bust. It's best to choose a style with a wide strap, which will stay securely in place while you're on the move.

What are the advantages of having a smaller bust?

Many women often feel insecure about the size of their bust: however, having a smaller chest can actually be a real advantage! It allows you greater freedom of movement, making it easier for you to excel in sports such as swimming, aqua aerobics...

No matter the shape or size of your bust, I can only encourage you to have confidence in yourself and to dare to wear swimsuit styles that you truly love. It’s by gradually getting used to wearing clothes that make you feel good that you can become more comfortable in your own skin! So don’t hesitate any longer and trust your instincts! 😉
