You could make it your life goal to solely buy the one type of swimsuit you've gotten compliments on. Or, you could try any of these six trends, which will flatter your figure no matter what shape you've got. What's more, these silhouettes are all fresh for 2019, meaning they're stocked aplenty on your favourite sites and you've likely already double-tapped them on Instagram. Whether you're a bikini babe or you love sophisticated maillots, there's a design here you can trust to highlight your best assets, hug your curves, and make you feel equal parts secure and stylish on the beach.

Look for a structured top that provides lift, but still feels comfortable. While you may have to test out the underwire on these designs, there's no denying they'll make you look sculpted and stylish all at once.
