Dressing for your body type is all about balancing proportions. Women with long torsos benefit from floaty tops, high-waisted bottoms, and playing with modern cutouts and color blocking. When shopping the newest trends in bikinis for women, knowing what looks best on your body shape helps to narrow down your fashion choices and hone in on the styles and colors that best suit you.
As you add to your sexy designer bikini collection and build upon your warm weather wardrobe, consider these stylish long torso options.
Flowy Pants and Structured Shorts for an Effortless Appeal
Loose-fitting, yet structured pants are both comfortable and chic. When it comes to choosing the best fit for a longer torso, consider how high the pants or shorts hit on the waistline and if you need a longer or shorter length.
How you style them also makes a difference, so we’re sharing a few of our favorite bottoms and what to pair them with to create an array of outfit choices when packing for your next getaway.
Pareo Pant
Embodying the ultimate balance of classy and casual, the black Pareo Pant is a go-to wardrobe addition. These flowy, lightweight pants can be worn when lounging by the pool or headed to the beach. The embroidery detailing adds extra allure that pairs just as well with your favorite long torso one piece or bikini as it does a bodysuit or tie-front top.
The pants tie in the front, creating a slight v-shape that creates a subtle curve to a long torso by hitting higher on the mid-section. Pair with your favorite solid color bikini top or one piece. Another option is to go playful by wearing them with the trendy Scarlet Dani Crop Top. The leopard print creates a fun and flirty look. Plus, the tie-front detail creates a cool cutout style that shortens torso length without covering it completely.
Fiorella Ester Pant
The eye-catching pattern of the Fiorella Black Ester Pant draws the eyes down, which is beneficial if you have a long torso and short legs. The fixed waistband sits higher on the hips to elongate the bottom half, while creating a more balanced proportion. The slits on the sides and lightweight fabric make these pants airy and comfortable, while still looking chic.
Let the pants take center stage by pairing with a black bodysuit or a solid color crop top to break up the midsection. For example, the Fabi Crop Top looks fantastic paired with these zebra print-inspired pants and creates a modern look. However, the flowy Fiorella Black Candice Top is the perfect complement to create a complete outfit.
On the other hand, if you want to break up a long torso and aren’t afraid to mix-and-match patterns, pair the pants with the Eliza One Piece or go for a color-blocking look with the red hot Milano Liz One Piece. In short, when it comes to styling, don’t be afraid to go bold.
Lassi Paula Pant
If you have a longer torso and longer legs, you can add some dimension and create the illusion of curves with the leopard print Lassi Paula Pant. The stylish pants are loose-fitting with more structure than the billowy Pareo or Ester Pant. The cropped bottom works well on tall women, especially when paired with low heels or wedges.
Keep the look simple and sleek by pairing with the Nicole Top in black. The crop top creates a peek-a-boo waist to create the illusion of a shorter torso without taking away from the streamlined silhouette.
