What Is an Athletic Body Type?

We know the challenges that may come with finding the best fit for athletic body types. That is why understanding more about your athletic body type is a good step to finding your next swimsuit. If you have an athletic body type, chances are you have one or more of these physical qualities: 

• Similar or equal measurements in the shoulders and hips
• Muscular or broad shoulders
• Toned waist
• Little to no curves
• Smaller or medium-sized bust or chest 

How Do I Choose a Swimsuit for My Athletic Body Type?

In most cases, an athletic body type is similar to the rectangle body type and you may need a swimsuit that will give attention to your frame and shoulders while shaping your midsection for a balanced look. Shop and try on halter top swimsuits such as our halter tankini or our halter bikini top to bring some love and attention to your shoulders and neck area. Similarly, occasional halter one piece swimsuits will not disappoint as they will instantly flatter your waist and figure. Explore more swimsuit styles for your athletic body type below.
