Choosing the right swimming costume for you
With the help of Zoggs Swimshapes, we’ve come up with some tips and suggestions to help you choose the right costume.
 |
Apple: Look out for tummy control, this will smooth and support the tummy area. Detail on the bust will focus attention away from the tummy whilst an empire line will enhance the narrowest area of your waist. Vertical details lengthen the body and provide a slimming effect.
Look for a coloured band or piping that sits just under the bust at the narrowest point, for example, the Zoggs Torquay Scoopback or the Aqua Sphere Mango. |
 |
Pear: Aim to have the detail, colour and design focusing on the chest and away from the hips. Achieve a slimmer look – opt for control fabrics with draped and ruched styling. Asymmetric details will avoid a focus on unwanted areas.
The design of the Zoggs Portland V Back Costume is ideal and also offers great support all over. Also see the Aqua Sphere Siena which has removable cups, adjustable straps and colour to widen the chest area. The colours of the Zoggs Marcoola Powerback should draw attention up and away from the hips. |
 |
Triangle: Aim to have the detail on the lower half focusing attention away from the chest. Embrace your assets with sweetheart necklines. Look for suits with hidden support features such as cupsized, underwired and shelf bras. The new Zoggs Brisbane costume, designed to flatter and support D-G cups.
The lovely 50’s style neckline on the Ella Scoopback Longer Length costume is very flattering, with optional support in removable cups. |
 |
Hourglass: Be bold and flaunt those curves! Enhance your shape with added features such as cup support and control panels. An empire line will further enhance your natural shape. Try the Charlotte Bay D-G Cup Costume for flattering support. |
 |
Rectangle: Details on the waist will create the illusion of curves. Enhance your shape with added features such as padded cups and control panels. Look out for bold colours and prints, you can get away with it so go for it! The Verona Belted Costume was made for you! The Aqua Sphere Manaus has detail in the right place and plenty of support. |
| |
Not much shape at all: Coloured panels or piping around sides will help to accentuate even the very slightest of curves. Like on the Maru Nina Legged Suit. A high neck will make the chest area appear larger. Look at the Zoggs Arcadian which also has a very flattering design just where you need it. | And for the men ... the choice is basically bold or black, and we've found you generally stick to black, or very nearly black! Choose between briefs (probably not!), training shorts or jammers (cycling short length). Ian feels his jammers are more modest than shorter styles. If you have short legs, the shorter style might make the most of their length. The new Zoggs Melville Jammer pairs a bold orange flowery insert with a modest black jammer. Go for it!
