The Best Swimsuits for Pear Shapes

Love Your Lower Body

"I learned how to show my lower half some love!" -- Nicole Badke, 23

"Bikini bottoms tend to cut into my thighs and hips, making them bulge," Nicole says. The solution: a sizzling one-piece. The V-neck accents Nicole's upper body, and high-cut bottoms help lengthen her legs. "I usually wear bikinis," she says. "But in this suit, I feel comfortable and confident."
