Hi ladies,

We’ve teamed up with Littlewoods Ireland to showcase some of their fabulous beach and swimwear. With so many styles and cuts available on the market, we know finding the perfect bikini or swimsuit can be quite the task. Will it flatter your shape? Will you feel confident wearing it?

So today on pippa.ie we styled 5 different swimwear looks to flatter 5 different body shapes: the hourglass, apple, pear, rectangle and strawberry. Of course, we’ve included some accessories and chic cover-ups. Poolside glamour never looked so good! 😉

As you can see from our looks below, we found some absolute gems. Littlewoods Ireland has such an enormous range of brands with on-trend pieces available so you’re guaranteed to find what you’re looking for. If you’re stuck in a style rut for summer, check out www.littlewoodsireland.ie and you’re holiday wardrobe will be sorted. Promise.

Hope you like the looks below and find our tips useful. Which type of swimwear do you think suits your shape the best?

Hourglass:

You have a full chest, small waist and curvy hips. These high-rise bikini bottoms will cinch in your waist even more and the bustier bikini top will flatter your bust.
