PEAR SHAPE
梨型身材

Pear-shaped women typically have a smaller top half, with wider hips and a shapely behind. Famous examples include Beyonce, Alicia Keys and Kate Winslet.
梨形身材的女性通常上半身比较瘦，而臀部宽大，背影凹凸有致，比如碧昂斯（Beyonce），艾丽西亚•凯斯（Alicia Keys）和凯特•温斯莱特（Kate Winslet）。

When picking a bikini, pear-shaped women should stick to high-waisted designs that show off their curves.
挑选比基尼的时候，梨形身材的女性应该选择高腰的设计，这能突出自己的曲线。

Steer clear of ruching, draping and pleating, as well as thick-banded bottoms, which will only serve to draw attention to the area.
要避开各种垂坠和褶皱的设计以及厚重的下摆，因为这只会把大家的目光吸引到下半身。

To draw attention away from your midriff, opt for plunging tops or those with plenty of detail to distract. You can also emphasise your top half with jewellery or a hat.
应该选择注重细节又比较抢眼的上装，来转移大家在你腹部上的注意力，还可以戴首饰或者帽子来突出你的上半身。

To conceal your hips, tie the bikini or a sarong with the ends drifting down one side of your body to narrow your bottom half, and always opt for wedges to lengthen your legs.
可以将比基尼打个结或围一个纱笼裙，裙摆偏向侧面，一定要高开叉，这样既能稍微遮住臀部又能显得腿长。

BIG BUSTED
丰满胸型

If, like around 40 per cent of women, you take a D cup or above, listen up.
如果你是那拥有D罩杯或以上的40%女性之一，那么听好了。

Take Kate Upton as your muse and opt for a triangle top that ties at the neck; good support is vital for spreading your bust out width-wise whilst lounging around the pool.
把凯特•阿普顿（Kate Upton）作为你的榜样，选择系在脖子上的三角形胸罩；当你在泳池里尽情遨游时，泳衣对胸部的支撑力至关重要。

As for the bottom half, opt for substantial briefs to emphasise your derrière and balance your top half. Colourwise, darker or brighter hues are the most flattering; avoid pale shades like the plague.
至于下半身，选择复杂的设计来强调臀部，以此来与上半身达到平衡。而颜色方面，深色或者亮色为佳，避免平淡的浅色。

If you want to distract the attention away from your cleavage region, wear bottoms with details to divert the attention from your top half.
如果不想让你的乳沟太吸睛，下半身穿得吸引眼球一点。

Glam accessories below the waist, such as embellished sandals or bold patterned kaftans, will draw the eye away from your top half.
腰以下的部位的华丽饰品，比如珠饰的凉鞋或者带大胆图案的长衫，都能转移大家对你上半身的注意力。

SMALL BUSTED
小胸身材

If, like Kendall Jenner and Kate Hudson, you're proportionally smaller on top with, say, an A or B cup, these tips are for you.
如果像肯达尔•詹娜（Kendall Jenner）和凯特•哈德森（Kate Hudson）一样平胸，只有A或者B罩杯，那么以下是给你的小贴士。

Bandeau style bikini tops are perfect for cheating a cleavage, as are ruffled tops. If you really want to go the extra mile, snap up a padded push-up top for extra lift.
细丝带比基尼以及带褶饰边的上装能够挤出完美乳沟。如果想效果再好一点，上衣就选带内衬有托举效果的款型。

Like Kendall, opt for low-slung high-legged briefs on the bottom half of your body.
像肯达尔，选择低肩高腰的泳衣。

Accessories-wise, add lots of bracelets - including the oh-so-now gold tattoo jewellery - to draw attention to your arms, giving you a wider outline.
而装饰方面，戴上很多手链——包括抢眼的黄金珠宝纹身——把大家的注意力转移到你的手臂上，将视觉拉宽。

CURVY GIRLS
曲线凹凸

Do you take after Kim Kardashian with a big bust, hips, thighs, and derriere? You fall into this category.
如果你像金•卡戴珊（Kim Kardashian）一样，有丰满的胸部和臀部，大腿粗壮，那你就是这类型的人。

Contrary to popular belief, it's all about highlighting rather than concealing your curves, whilst simultaneously providing enough support and coverage.
与传统认知相反，这时应该强调你的曲线而不是弱化它，同时要有足够的支撑和遮挡。

Asymmetrical suits are perfect for drawing attention to the neckline, whilst colour blocking can help highlight your shape. Bigger bikini bottoms will help smooth things out.
不对称的泳装有助于把大家的目光吸引到颈线上，而撞色系列的泳衣则有利于凸显你的曲线。大一点的比基尼下装能够让你的身材整体看起来更匀称。

Choose eye-catching accessories that distract from your tummy - such as white-rimmed shades and a beach basket or bag.
佩戴抢眼的首饰能够转移大家在你肚子上的注意力——例如白框太阳眼镜，沙滩篮或者沙滩包。
