The most flattering swimsuits for curvy women

By choosing the right design to balance the figure and provide optimum support, your curvy figure will be highlighted subtly. With our swimwear collection, you have the choice between two styles:

One-piece swimsuits: elegant and sculpting

One-piece swimsuits are timeless, and perfect if you are looking for a shaping and sculpting effect. By opting for a more or less low-cut design, you can highlight your bust and visually redefine your figure. In terms of colour, black is a classic for its slimming effect, but you could also go for a print to divert attention from the areas that make you feel self-conscious.

High-rise bikinis: a flattering retro effect

Contrary to popular belief, two-piece swimsuits can be an excellent option, even if you are curvy. Choose high-rise bottoms with a 70s look that accentuate the waist and smooth the tummy while lengthening the legs. For the top, it is important that your full bust is well supported. Opt for a comfort bra, bandeau bra or triangle bra like the Ambre top, which offers effective support and highlights the neckline in an ultra feminine style.

Swimsuits that tuck in the tummy

Are you looking forward to being on the beach, but feel self-conscious about your tummy? There are plenty of tricks you could use!

1. Playing with colours and prints

Dark shades like black, copper brown or deep green have a slimming visual effect. But you could also wear prints that sculpt the figure with a subtle play on contrasts. In reality, there is no hard and fast rule: as long as you are comfortable, you can do anything!

2. Opt for a body-shaping swimsuit

A body-shaping swimsuit is ideal for smoothing and enhancing your curves without pressing them. At La Nouvelle, all our fabrics are carefully chosen to provide perfect support and structure your figure. In terms of style, we design flattering cuts each season, with cleverly placed gathers that structure the body while following your movements so that you feel beautiful and free in our two-piece swimsuits.

3. Banking on the right beachwear

If you’re not totally comfortable in a swimsuit, don’t panic: beachwear can perfectly complete your look this summer. By slipping a flowing sarong or a light kimono over your swimsuit, you can enjoy the beach without feeling self-conscious. These pieces are also perfect for easily transitioning from lunch on a restaurant terrace to an afternoon by the water.

Swimsuits for small busts

If you have a small bust, you are lucky! You can wear almost any style of swimsuit. But if you want to emphasize your neckline or visually add volume, here are some tips:

One-piece swimsuit with plunging neckline: refined and feminine

Plunging necklines are particularly flattering for small busts, as they elongate them and creates a very feminine look. Among our one-piece swimsuits, you have the choice of a multitude of designs that will highlight your bust in an elegant and refined style.

Swimsuit tops for more volume

For those who want to achieve a slightly push-up effect, we have designed several styles of tops. At La Nouvelle, we believe in natural beauty without artifice, and so we prefer shapes that enhance the bust to padding. Triangle shapes are classics that naturally flatter the bust. But you could also choose a V-cut comfort bra for a neckline that is not too deep. By playing with the textures and prints of our fabrics, you can also add relief to your figure and enhance your small bust.
