How to Choose the Perfect Swimsuit for Your Body Type

Finding a swimsuit that makes you feel confident is one of the most personal decisions in fashion. At Puella Marina, we believe every body deserves to feel elevated, not just covered. Here's how to choose with intention.

Start With Your Measurements

Before you fall in love with a style, measure your bust, waist, and hips. Even a 2 to 3 cm difference can change how a swimsuit sits on your body. Our collection runs XS to L, and every product page features a detailed size guide so you never have to guess.

As a general guide:

• XS: Bust 78 to 82 cm · Waist 60 to 64 cm · Hips 86 to 90 cm
• S: Bust 82 to 86 cm · Waist 64 to 68 cm · Hips 90 to 94 cm
• M: Bust 86 to 90 cm · Waist 68 to 72 cm · Hips 94 to 98 cm
• L: Bust 90 to 96 cm · Waist 72 to 78 cm · Hips 98 to 104 cm

Match the Style to Your Silhouette Goals

Want to elongate your frame? Opt for high-cut bottoms and minimalist tops with vertical design lines. Want to celebrate your curves? A ruched one-piece or an underwire-structured top does exactly that. Our bestselling styles are cut to flatter across a range of body types, with adjustable straps and stretch fabrics that move with you.

Between Sizes? Always Size Up

Swimwear should feel supportive, not restrictive. If you're caught between two sizes, go up. This is especially important for longer beach days where comfort over hours matters just as much as how you look in the first five minutes.

Invest in the Fabric

Puella Marina designs use premium stretch fabrics engineered to hold their shape in water, resist UV fading, and recover beautifully after every wear. A well-made swimsuit is a wardrobe investment, not a seasonal throwaway.
