Oval-shaped bodies are known for their fuller busts and midsections, often paired with a softer, less defined waist and slimmer hips or legs. This shape carries its curves beautifully through the center of the body.

Key traits:

• Waist is equal to or greater than your hips and bust
• Waistline is less defined
• Fuller or larger bust
• Midsection is the first area where weight changes appear

When choosing swimwear, the goal is to create definition at the waist, elongate the torso, and draw attention to your neckline — for a smooth, balanced silhouette that feels both flattering and effortlessly elegant.

Choose tops that provide support, structure, and a subtle elongating effect for your silhouette.

• Underwire Tops — Offer the lift and definition your bust needs while creating a more balanced, streamlined upper body. Structured styles like the Ruched Balconette or Underwire Top help shape and support beautifully.
• V-Neck and Plunge Tops — Draw the eye downward, visually lengthening the torso and creating a graceful neckline that flatters fuller busts. Try pieces like the Multiway Top tied in a plunging V for a confident, elongating effect.

Choose styles that smooth and define your waist while elongating your legs for a beautifully balanced look.

• High-Waisted Bottoms — Offer gentle shaping through the midsection while naturally defining your waistline. Styles like the Nikki High-Waist, Coquillage High-Waist, and Classic High-Waist provide comfort, coverage, and a sleek, confident silhouette. Many include a belt or waistband detail to emphasize your curves.
• V-Cut / High-Leg Bottoms — Create the illusion of longer legs and a more defined waist. The upward V-shape draws attention to the center, balancing your proportions.We recommend styles like our Gemstone V-Cut Bottoms
• Ruched Bottoms — Add subtle texture and shaping that smooths the tummy area while enhancing your natural curves. We recommend the Brazilian Ruched or Cheeky Ruched for a flattering, feminine fit.

For oval  body shapes, one-pieces are a perfect choice — they smooth and support the midsection, define the waist, and elongate the body line for a beautifully balanced silhouette. Choose designs that enhance the bust, create gentle waist definition, and guide the eye vertically.

V-Neck One-Pieces — The plunging neckline elongates your torso and emphasizes the bust, creating a beautifully proportioned shape. Styles like the Sienna V One Piece or Lace-Up One Piece bring subtle lift and effortless elegance.

Halter-Neck One-Pieces — With their high neckline, these styles provide lift and gentle compression through the torso while showcasing the shoulders in a refined way. The Ruched Halter Neck One Piece beautifully elongate the upper body and smooth the midsection for a sleek, confident fit.

Belted or Cut-Out One-Pieces — A belted waist or side cut-outs instantly add dimension, breaking up straight lines and emphasizing curves. Go for the Coquillage Cut-Out One Piece or Seashell Balconette One Piece to create shape and balance through the waist.

Style tip: Look for one-pieces with ruching, paneling, or sculpting fabric — they define your shape while offering a comfortable, supportive fit. Vertical seams, belts, and V-necklines naturally elongate and flatter the oval silhouette.
