Enjoy the journey! The triangle shaped woman knows she wants to minimize her hips and thighs, but they may not always know how to find the right swimsuit to accomplish that.

Whether you're shopping for beachwear or a new outfit for work, your rule of thumb should be the same: choose body balance over anything else. In other words, instead of choosing the hottest style on the runway, pick what's going to balance out your smaller bust with your larger legs and butt. To feel confident in your suit, whether you're sunbathing in your backyard or swimming in the ocean, choose a bikini, tankini or one piece style that has a bold pattern on top, and solid on the bottom. A solid black bottom will minimize your butt, while a padded, bold top will bring attention to your upper body and allow you to feel more confident. If you're feeling a bit insecure about your love handles, choose a haltered ruched style.

When choosing a swimsuit for your triangle shaped body, one pieces, tankinis and bikinis all work well. The trick is, choosing a cut that minimizes your hips and thighs and maximizes your bust.  Shop bathing suits with a more decorated top half and simpler bottom halves. This style is a smart choice because it will help you achieve body balance.  This one piece Anne Cole Bathing suit is great for triangle body shapes because the decorative top draw the eye away from your wider hips. 

• Whether it's a bikini, tankini or one piece swimsuit go with a decorative top and a simple bottom
• Don't wear mono-colored simple one piece swimsuits. They may make you look more like a fruit or vegetable then a woman. Simple black one-piece bathing suits are really bad because they make you look like an eggplant.
• Avoid short skirted bottoms and swimdresses especially ones that flare outwards as they appear to expand your hips, thighs and butt making them look bigger. The goal is to balance your hips and shoulders not make them look bigger.
• With longer swim-dresses that go past your mid-thighs the expanding effect is greatly lessened. So they're still a good choice of modest swimwear for women with pear shaped figures. Wraparound dresses look especially flattering.
Choose a modern style swimsuit such as the Bouquet Breeze One Piece by It Figures, or the Beaded Stripe Draped Front One Piece by Anne Cole. Both styles will work to flatter your larger hips and smaller waist.

Show Off Your Upper Body (and Feel Sexier Than Ever!)

This Leilani tankini is a great swimsuit for pear shaped women because of the decorative top with a simple bottom, thin straps and horizontal stripes.

And you don't need DD boobs to balance out your big butt. Push up bikinis and padded swimsuits add a good amount of cleavage to your beach body bringing attention away from your rear. You can also show off what you've got by choosing a bold, printed one pieces and bikinis. Brighter colors accomplish this as well. Look for tops with these styles and features:

• Thin straps will make your shoulders look wider. Wide straps will make them look more narrow. Broader looking shoulder will balance out with your hips.
• Floral Print Swimsuits.
• Horizontal Stripes. They'll make your chest look wider and more voluminous.
• High Contrast Patterns.
• Bandeau Tops. The straight line cuts across your chest broadening it.
• Flounce bikinis add a lot of volume to your bust.

Bathing Suit Bottoms for Pear Shaped Bodies

For most women with big butts and thighs, string bikinis and high-cut swimsuit bottoms can often be uncomfortable and a can be too revealing. Brazilian bikinis are right out. Buy swimwear bottoms that fit comfortably and offer better coverage. Here are some things to remember when you shop for bathing suit bottoms:

• Darker colors likes blacks, browns and dark blues are especially good.
• Look for bottoms with wide elastic waist bands.
• Buy swimsuits with enough fabric so that you are not constantly picking a wedgie or tugging for more coverage.
• Stay away from short skirted bottoms.
