Do You Actually Have a Short Torso?
Have you ever wondered why some clothing styles and even swimsuit styles look so great on others, but on you, they do nothing for your appeal?
This may be because of your unique boy shape. One factor that affects your body shape is the length of your waist proportion or your torso.
You will either have a proportioned torso, a slightly longer, or a slightly shorter torso.
To measure your torso, you will need to measure from your underarm area to your waist, where your naval is in the middle. Then you can measure from your waist or naval to your hip bone. If these measurements are similar, you have even proportions, but if the first measurement is smaller, you are short-waisted or have a shorter torso.
Another way to measure if you are shorts waisted is to measure from the top of your head to your crotch and then from your crotch to your feet. If the first measurement is shorter, then you have a shorter torso.
So, what does it mean to have a shorter torso? Well, it just means that your legs are a bit longer in proportion to your torso and nothing much else. Like so many others, you are just a unique body shape and will need to choose clothing items appropriately.
Best Bikinis and Swimsuits for a Short Torso
- One Piece Swimsuits for a Short Torso – look for solid colors and prints that elongate your body, such as vertical stripes. Also, please look at the bottom of the swimsuit and ensure it is a low cut or fuller cover design rather than a high cut. The top area can be a wide or thin strap with a halterneck or tie design.
- Bikini Bottoms – A high Cut Bikini bottom will elongate your waist area. A mid-cut bottom is also ideal. You can opt for vertical stripes and solid colors to create a slimming effect or lighter solid colors.
- Bikini Tops – Bandeau bikini tops work quite well for a short torso. A halter and tie-back bikini top also have a great style for a shorter torso.
- Neckline – A V-Neck is an excellent choice to lengthen your torso. Stay clear of round and polo design necklines and opt for more open ones.
Features of a Good Swimsuit for a Short Torso
- Materials – Most swimsuits include nylon, polyester, lycra, spandex, or elastane for stretch. These materials dry quickly and are quite stretchable. Chinlon is a newer material coming up in many swimsuit models and brands. The materials should be soft, stretchable and, quick-drying, durable to withstand being in and out of water.
- Design – Swimsuits for short torsos should have an elongating effect. High-waisted bikini bottoms and full swimsuits are ideal. Stripes that are vertical and colored patterns can help create an illusion of length.
- Options – Swimsuits for shorts and torsos come in various color and print options and standard and plus-sizes. Could you make sure t select prints and vertical stripes that lengthen your torso and avoid prints that will make it look shorter than it already is?
- Closures – Most bikini tops will have either a toe or clasp closure, while one-piece swimsuits will be a pull-on design. Bikini bottoms are mostly pull-on designs, although some models may have side ties as a closure or just as decorative detailing.
