The Ultimate Guide to Finding Your Perfect Modest Swimsuit
Finding the perfect modest swimsuit that flatters your body and aligns with your modesty standards can feel like a challenge, but it doesn’t have to be! At Anava Paris, we believe that modest swimwear should make you feel confident, comfortable, and stylish while staying true to your values. Whether you’re looking for a tzniut outfit or a Christian outfit that covers appropriately, there’s a perfect modest swimsuit for you.
Let’s dive into how to choose the best modest swimwear based on your body type while keeping it fashionable and practical!
Understanding Your Body Type
Before we jump into swimsuit styles, it’s important to identify your body type. Everyone’s shape is unique, but most women fall into one of these categories:
- Hourglass – Balanced bust and hips with a defined waist
- Pear-shaped – Narrower shoulders with wider hips
- Apple-shaped – Broader upper body with a less defined waist
- Rectangle (Athletic) – Straight silhouette with minimal curves
- Inverted Triangle – Broad shoulders with narrower hips
Now that you’ve got a general idea of your body shape, let’s find a modest swimsuit that enhances your best features while keeping you covered!
Best Modest Swimwear for Each Body Type
Hourglass Shape
If you have an hourglass figure, your goal is to highlight your natural balance while keeping your curves proportionate. Look for modest swim sets with:
Wrap-style tops or belted designs to accentuate your waist.
High-waisted swim skirts or leggings for a sleek and flattering fit.
Fitted yet modest swim dresses that define the waist without being too tight.
Top Picks for Hourglass Bodies
Mia Swim Set – Features a flattering top and full-coverage skirt.
Pear-Shaped Body
Pear-shaped women have wider hips compared to their upper body. The key to balancing your silhouette is drawing attention upward while keeping the lower half modest.
Darker bottoms with lighter or printed tops to create balance.
Ruffled or detailed swim tops to add volume to your upper half.
A-line swim skirts that flow rather than cling to the hips.
Top Picks for Pear Shapes
Ella Swim Set – Comes with a real wrap skirt that adds structure and elegance.
Apple-Shaped Body
Apple-shaped women usually carry more weight in the midsection, so it’s important to find swimwear that elongates the torso and defines the waist.
Empire waist or ruched tops to create a slimming effect.
Flared swim dresses or skirts to balance the proportions.
V-necklines or open collars to elongate the neckline.
Top Picks for Apple Shapes
Camila – With a V-neckline and adjustable fit, it’s great for shaping the torso.
Rectangle (Athletic) Body
If you have a straight, athletic body type, the goal is to create the illusion of curves while maintaining modesty.
Peplum or flared swim tops to add dimension.
High-waisted swim bottoms to enhance the waist.
Layered or detailed swim skirts to create volume.
Top Picks for Athletic Bodies
Levana Swim Set – Has a fitted yet modest design to add curves.
Inverted Triangle Body
Women with an inverted triangle shape have broad shoulders and a narrower lower half. The goal is to soften the upper body and add volume below.
A-line or flared skirts to balance proportions.
Simple, solid tops with detailed bottoms to shift the focus downward.
Asymmetrical or wrap designs to create curves.
Top Picks for Inverted Triangle Shapes
Maya Swim Set – Flowy, elegant, and creates a balanced silhouette.
Choosing the Right Size
Since Anava Paris swimsuits use European sizing, they tend to run smaller compared to US and UK sizes. If you’re in between sizes, it’s best to size up for a comfortable fit. Here’s a quick reference from our size chart:
Fabrics and Features to Look For
Aside from fit and style, the fabric and design of your modest swimwear matter just as much!
- Quick-drying & lightweight materials to keep you comfortable.
- Built-in padding for extra support and modesty.
- Adjustable features like waist ties or drawstrings for a customized fit.
- Chlorine-resistant fabrics for durability and long-lasting wear.
