Bikini types at a glance
There is a wide selection of bikini styles, but not every cut suits every figure. If you want to know which bikini typesuits you, you've come to the right place. Here you will find your personal style compass through the swimwear range from ENIQUA. Our guide shows you how to emphasise your figure with the right designs and highlight your best features.
Triangle bikini
Delicate, feminine, timeless: the triangle bikini emphasises your natural shape and looks particularly harmonious with a smaller bust size. Fine ties and light fabrics give it a touch of Mediterranean lightness.
Bandeau bikini
The bandeau bikini shows off your shoulders and creates a beautiful décolleté. Ideal for an even tan and elegant beach appearances. Perfect if you love subtle sophistication.
Halter neck bikini
The halter neck version creates a sensual décolleté and provides stable support – even for larger bust sizes. The lines emphasise the shoulders and lend grace to your posture.
Push-up bikini
A push-up bikini discreetly shapes the bust and creates a full décolleté. Pre-formed cups provide gentle support and create volume without losing their natural look.
Micro bikini
The micro bikini is the most daring of all bikini styles – minimalist, close-fitting and uncompromisingly feminine. It shows a lot of skin, emphasises every curve and radiates pure self-confidence. At ENIQUA, sophisticated cuts meet luxurious materials that maintain elegance even in this daring style.
Bustier bikini
The bustier bikini stands for self-confident elegance. It combines sporty lines with luxurious materials – perfect for active women who love movement and style.
Balconette bikini
The balconette bikini lifts what needs to be emphasised. Fine underwires create a gentle lift effect that visually emphasises the waist and highlights feminine contours.
High-waisted bikini
With a high-waisted bikini, you can elegantly shift your proportions: the bikini bottoms create a slim silhouette and lengthen the legs. Ideal if you want to emphasise or gently conceal small curves.
Swimsuit & monokini
The swimsuit is experiencing a revival at ENIQUA. Clean lines, fine fabrics and sophisticated cut-outs make it a statement piece of modern swimwear. Bikinis and swimsuits with cut-outs also look like designer pieces.
Which bikini suits which figure?
Every woman has her own silhouette – and that's exactly what makes swimwear so exciting. The right cut emphasises your natural lines, highlights your strengths and gives you confidence. Discover which style suits your body type and how you can achieve a big impact with small details.
Hourglass figure (X-type)
The hourglass figure is considered harmonious and balanced. The waist, hips and bust are in perfect proportion. Emphasise this natural balance with a triangle bikini or an elegant balconette bikini. Both styles draw attention to your contours and emphasise your feminine charms.
A-type (wider hips, narrow shoulders)
If your hips are more pronounced than your shoulders, you can easily create balance. Emphasise your upper body with a push-up bikini or a halterneck style. Darker bikini bottoms or a high-waisted cut are particularly flattering because they make the hip area appear narrower.
V-type (broad shoulders, narrow hips)
With the V type, the shoulders are more pronounced than the hips. Patterned or side-tie bottoms draw the eye downwards. Bandeau bikinis create a soft shoulder line and balance the figure. The waist appears more defined and the legs longer.
H-type (barely any waist, athletic figure)
The H-type figure appears athletic and straight. You can achieve a feminine silhouette with a bustier bikini or a swimsuit with cut-outs. These designs visually shape the waist and effectively highlight the upper body.
O-type (more stomach, less waist)
Are you looking for a bikini with tummy that flatters rather than hides? High-waisted bikinis are the best choice here. They skim the tummy, gently emphasise the décolleté and elongate the silhouette. Look for firm fabrics and clean lines – they bring calm to the look and ensure a feeling of well-being.
Mature women
Over the years, your body and style change – but not your sense of beauty. Luxurious styles made from high-quality materials with a secure fit are ideal for older women. High-waisted bikinis or elegant swimsuits look confident and flatter your figure.
If you want to cover up a little more at the beach, complement your look with a light kaftan or a flowing beach dress. Both emphasise your elegance without hiding anything, because true beauty comes from feeling good about yourself. Summer is yours – stylish, confident and timelessly beautiful.
Tips for choosing the best bikini
Choosing the best bikini starts with what makes you you. No cut or design suits everyone – but every body has details that deserve to shine. Learn to recognise your assets and emphasise them in a targeted manner.
A fine fabric in shiny gold, a bold pattern or a special line can perfectly frame your figure. High-quality materials gently shape rather than hide, and remain elegant even after hours on the beach.
Trust in quality – which you can feel in every detail at ENIQUA. Each piece is handmade in Italy from luxurious fabrics that perfectly combine form and comfort. A bikini that fits well moves with you and gives you confidence. This is exactly what our collection embodies: sophisticated women who know what suits them – and are uncompromising when it comes to style and quality.
Conclusion: your perfect bikini type
It's not your figure that determines your style, but the way you wear it. With the right cut, you can show off your best features and feel completely balanced. Every woman can show her best side in the right bikini – elegant, confident, authentic.

FAQ – The most frequently asked questions about the different bikini types
Which bikini suits my figure?
The right bikini depends on your body type. A triangle bikini or a balconette model will accentuate your hourglass figure beautifully. If you have wider hips, a halter neck or push-up bikini will draw the eye upwards. For athletic figures, bustier bikinis or swimsuits with cut-outs are particularly flattering.
Which bikini best conceals the tummy?
A bikini with tummy can shape without restricting. High-waisted bikinis create length, flatter the midriff and emphasise the décolleté. Smooth, firm fabrics provide additional support and security – ideal if you want to feel elegant and comfortable at the same time.
Which bikini suits women with a small bust?
A triangle bikini or a subtle push-up bikini harmoniously emphasises a small bust. Light padding or textured fabrics add volume, while fine details such as ruffles or shine enhance the feminine effect.
Which bikini is suitable for older women?
Timeless swimsuits or high-waisted bikinis with clean lines are suitable for older women. High-quality fabrics, thoughtful cuts and elegant colours emphasise the figure in a stylish way – perfect for women who value quality and comfort.
How can I recognise high-quality swimwear?
Genuine quality is evident in the workmanship. Fine seams, dimensionally stable fabrics and a precise fit are crucial. Handcrafted designer bikinis – Made in Italy – stand for luxurious swimwear that retains its shape, colour and elegance over many summers.
