Trouver le maillot parfait : Morphologie, coupe et matière, tout ce qu’il faut savoir !

Body shape, cut, material: every detail counts to reveal your natural beauty.

For us at Tatiane de Freitas, swimwear is much more than just beachwear. It's a second skin, a precious ally for your summer, one that stays with you and offers you confidence and comfort, whether you're on the warm sand, lounging by the pool, or on a sunny getaway.

Morphology & swimsuit: the key to feeling good about yourself

Morphology is above all a natural structure – marked shoulders, defined waist, soft hips, long or short bust… These are not defects to be corrected, but particularities to be enhanced .

Knowing your figure means learning how to dress it properly. And above all, it means reconnecting with your body with kindness. The right swimsuit isn't just one that "slims" or "curves," but one that reveals you, supports you, and hugs your movements without restriction.

Whether you have an A-shape (hips wider than shoulders), a V-shape (defining shoulders, narrower hips), an X-shape (narrow waist, balanced shoulders and hips), an H-shape (straight silhouette), or an O-shape (curved and feminine curves), there is a swimsuit cut that is ideal for you. A piece that enhances your silhouette, respects your natural shape, and accompanies you with elegance and comfort.

At Tatiane de Freitas, we design each creation to reveal the harmony of your body, playing with shapes, materials and technical details – from the shaping swimsuit to the plunging neckline , including high cutouts or adjustable straps.



A-shaped morphology

Are your hips wider than your shoulders? You have an A-shaped body, a symbol of femininity and softness. The ideal is to draw the eye to the upper body with necklines, ruffles, or original straps . A more sober bottom will balance the overall look.

V-shaped morphology

Do you have shoulders that are wider than your hips , often accompanied by a full bust? Opt for low-cut bottoms, belts, or side knots to balance your silhouette and enhance your legs.

H-shaped morphology

Your Is your waistline slightly defined, and are your shoulders and hips aligned? Create movement with asymmetrical shapes, ruffles , or cutouts that subtly sculpt your silhouette.

X-shaped morphology

Your Is your waist defined, and are your shoulders and hips aligned ? Congratulations, you have a naturally harmonious silhouette! Belted one-piece swimsuits, triangle or bandeau bikinis are all good for you, as long as they accentuate your curves without compressing them.

O-shaped morphology

Do you have voluptuous curves and a generous bust ? Opt for shaping swimsuits with wide straps and refined details to gently structure your silhouette. Placed prints or vertical cutouts elongate the line.

Cut, material, details: the winning trio to enhance your figure in a swimsuit

Every woman has a unique silhouette. And beyond the body shape – A, H, 8… – there are the little details that make all the difference: a generous bust, a short bust, long legs or a defined waist. At Tatiane de Freitas , we believe that the perfect swimsuit is not chosen solely based on a cut, but rather on a holistic approach : shape, material and technical details must come together to reveal your natural radiance and ensure comfort and confidence, in the sun and in the city.

The right cuts for your figure

Some cuts lengthen, others sculpt or refocus attention on your natural assets.

  • Short bust? Opt for a V-neckline to visually lengthen your upper body.

  • Small waist? Opt for high-cut panties to make your legs look longer.

  • Larger bust? Choose models with shaping materials and adjustable straps for optimal support.

  • Broad shoulders? An asymmetrical or crossed-strap swimsuit balances the silhouette.

Our advice: experiment, dare, and play with the lines. The right cut is one in which you feel beautiful, free, and yourself.

Materials and finishes: everything except accessories

  • Shiny or matte? A shiny fabric attracts light and highlights curves, perfect for enhancing the bust or hips. Conversely, a matte finish refines and adds subtle elegance.

  • Shaping fabrics? Sculpting and flattering, they shape without compressing. Be careful, however, with the drying time , which is often longer.

  • Lurex & lightweight microfiber? Ideal for a sunny look and quick drying , perfect for going to the beach and enjoying a drink.

Lifestyle and technicality

  • Your swimsuit should keep pace with you.
    If you swim regularly or participate in water sports, opt for a piece without ties, designed to stay perfectly in place. Our Golden model, for example, combines aesthetics and support to accompany you on all your escapades.
