Hello Pears. Finding swimwear for a pear is easier than it may seem; it’s all about proportion. Pears generally have a fuller bottom and a smaller top. Looking good while lounging by the pool or catching rays on the beach is all about containing your lower half. This means you should look for one pieces or bikinis with a fuller bottom.

A brief style bottom ensures full coverage while a high-waist style creates a slimming effect which helps pull the eyes up and conceal any middle problem areas. Since the top tends to be smaller, focus on finding one with a bandeau or straight strap style. Don’t be afraid to try prints! You can mix and match by wearing a solid bottom and a patterned top or even get away with rocking a pattern on the bottom; just make sure the print is small. Bare Necessities makes it easy for you to find great swimwear that fits your body shape!
