I am slim, athletic with small boobs and wide hips and chunky thighs...Is this a good bikini for me?

Well, i like the bikini, i like bigger pants, but am not so hot on whether it will suit or not.
Get it and see
i love the colour

I think that if your thighs are big what you want to do is make your legs look longer so the thighs will seem slimmer. So I think you need a higher leg on those pants.

But I'm sure a style guru will be along soon to tell me I'm wrong.

I'm also a pear shape with bigger bottom half (hips and thighs) and find toast bikinis really good quality and fit.

I do also find I suit bikinis not swimsuits/tankinis as I have a small waist which is covered just makes me look bigger by drawing attention down.I usually buy in the sale at Toast but I am a real covert to their bikinis.

Advice does definately say to go for high cut bottoms with my shape but I just feel my worse bits are overexposed and don't look any slimmer IMO.

Halter neck tops are also recommended and do create a bigger bust which helps to even out the bottom half although the toast style you've picked is well cut and should be similar.

I'd say that the top is fine but I'm less sure about the bottoms.

what about these? Higher in the leg and more of a boy short style than granny knicker which is what the toast ones make me think.

Ah yes I see - more of a boyish cut....

How tall are you and do you have a flat stomach?

How about this:

It will draw attention to your top half rather than your legs also seafolly bikinis are usually very flattering to the smaller breasted of us.

However I think our tastes are very different as I think the toast bikini is very drab and unflattering!
