Finally, can you feel it? The heat of warmer seasons has begun to break through cold cracks in the air. Whether you are dreaming of lounging poolside or have already booked your beach-bound vacation, swimsuits are at the forefront of many people’s fashion consciousness. Shopping for swimwear can be intimidating and even uncomfortable, but we promise it doesn’t have to be. Feeling confident is key, and finding the right pieces that flatter your figure and make you feel comfortable will make all the difference.

We've tapped into our teams on how to identify each body type so you can get your best-fitting swimsuit yet.
