Choose your lingerie according to your body shape

If you want to highlight your figure, you need to take as much care in choosing your lingerie as you do in your outfits. To do this, you must first take your body shape into account. Panties and bras must adapt to the specific conformation of your body.

V-shaped morphology

You have a V-shaped body shape if you have broad shoulders and thin hips. To highlight such a silhouette, it is important to give a little volume to the lower body and emphasize the neckline.

To accentuate the hips, you can choose shorties, which tend to visually widen this part of the body. Adding ruffles, or even a few frills, can further enhance this effect. In this regard, Dim lingerie, a reference in the field, offers you a wide choice of models.

For the top, opt for a demi-bra. Also called “half cup”, it does not completely cover the chest. It it helps to highlight it, even if it is a little generous.

If your chest is rather small, choose a triangle bra instead, which gives it a natural curve.

What lingerie is needed for an H silhouette?

Women with this body shape have shoulders as wide as the hips and a shallow waist. It is somewhat of a balanced silhouette.

It is often indicated by a somewhat small chest. In this case, it is better to choose a bra that gives it a little fullness. A push-up model, which lifts the breasts a little and gives them volume, will do the trick very well.

On the other hand, you should avoid the bandeau bra, which, by enveloping the chest, tends to cut the silhouette.

For the bottom, you have to leave aside the panties that mark the waist. Which could only underline its erasure. High-waisted bodysuits, or tight-fitting underwear, are also suitable for this type of figure.

A-shaped body shape: what to wear?

The A-shaped morphology gives the person who has inherited it a very feminine silhouette. Indeed, it is manifested by hips wider than the shoulders and a thin waist.

With the upper body being more discreet, it will be a matter of accentuating its volume to balance the silhouette. To give a little fullness to the chest, you can opt for a push-up bra, as already mentioned.

But the balconette model is also very suitable. It does not completely cover the breasts, which it tends to enhance. It therefore highlights slightly small breasts. This will also be the case for padded bras, which tend to round out the chest.

For the bottom, it is especially important to highlight the curves of the hips, without making the silhouette heavier. Models like the thong or the tanga panties, which cover the top of the buttocks, are high enough to bring out these curves.

Underwear adapted to a figure 8 figure

If you have such a body shape, you have a fairly generous chest, the size of which is equal to that of your hips. This silhouette is also distinguished by a marked waist.

You will then choose lingerie that will emphasize these very feminine shapes. There is no reason to hide them—quite the contrary.

Push-up or balconette bras, already described, highlight the chest. But it is also possible to wear a bustier, which highlights the chest and slims the waist.

For the bottom, shapewear pants are well suited to this type of figure. They emphasize your shapes while erasing the small defects that could alter their contour. But your choice can also be shorties or boxers.

Lingerie for an O-shaped body

What we notice in a woman with an O-shaped body shape is the curvaceous side of her silhouette. Whether it’s the chest or the hips, she is a woman with very feminine curves. In this case, the size is not very pronounced.

We must not hesitate to highlight these shapes while striving to attenuate some of these curves. Thus, a full-coverage bra highlights your chest without accentuating it too much.

This is also the case with the minimizer bra, which tends to reduce the volume of breasts that are a little too opulent.

For the bottom, shapewear lingerie is just as appropriate for this type of silhouette. As for high-waisted briefs, they shape the hips and tend to hide the stomach.

What should I wear for an X-shaped silhouette?

It’s a bit of a variation of the figure 8 shape. Here again, the shoulders and hips are aligned, but the waist is even more accentuated.

Women sporting this silhouette are lucky. Indeed, when it comes to lingerie, they can wear anything. Since your marked waist is the emblem of your figure, you can accentuate it even more.

For this, choose a bustier, or even a corset, which will give your shapes an even more harmonious curve. But other models, like the tanga or the shorty, will suit you as well.

This is the advantage of this type of silhouette: you are spoiled for choice when it comes to your lingerie. Less constrained by your body shape, you can let your tastes speak for themselves.
