Help me understand what swimwear for my shape

I'd like some advice on a bikini that would suit my body shape please.

I have an athletic top half, very small boobs and a fairly flat tummy. My hips are big though and I look a bit out of proportion. I put weight on my hips and they are also a bit wobbly.

I'm fine with my body but just want a bikini that will even me out a bit so I don't look like I have two different halves!

Thanks for any tips, I'm rubbish at this.

You sound like a pear shape which is the opposite to me! I'd look at frilly tops, halter necks and high waisted bottoms which are all things I avoid. There are loads of websites that tell you which swimwear to try for your body type, google bikinis for pear shapes

Your body is probably absolutely fine, I'd love a flat tummy.

Same! Try a bikini top that has a push up bra, also I find a halter neck balances me out, I also like a bikini top that has tassels or a hanging fringe or a tankini which skims not sits tight

Sporty swimwear is in fashion and sounds like it would work well for you. I don’t know if you’ve seen Money Heist but Tokio’s paradise bikini in the first episode of series 3... so a fairly skimpy bottom and quite a sporty top with a halter neck or racer back as this will make your shoulders wider to balance your hips. If you have bigger hips I’d avoid ties on the hips. It seems counterintuitive not to put lots of fabric on our biggest parts but shorts or bigger pants will draw the eye there.
