Not to be a downer or anything. But you didn’t really cover “fat”. It’s a fact that you can be one of these shapes and be overweight, and some of these suggestions just won’t work.

Im a little heavy on the top, the middle and the bum but have found the new styles of bikinis with the frills on them that act like little skirts suit me they also tend to have a little frill design on the tip of the top which takes all the attention upwards. Woohoo we can still get a tan without having to cover up in a tankini or one piece.

i agree with cliuve aged 5 ...... i have a nice top half (small shoulders and boobs and average arms) but around the stomach butt and thighs is more rounded (think jLo) :( and i dont suit a bikini unless it had a pair of boardies overtop
tankinis look nice as long as the boyleg pants under it isnt too short—like daisy duke styles is a nono

That’s a hard 1, i am none of the above, maybe the apple lol. I work out alot but still have chubby thighs, flabby belly & a big bum. My body seems to go straight up & down with no curves. It’s so hard to find clothes,  i wish fitness fixed everything lol smile
