Metro Most Stylish Girls And The Swimwear Styles That Work For Them

Article (news)

<p>From spa weekends to tropical getaways, poolside brunches to resort lounging, a well-chosen swimsuit has become a wardrobe staple for all seasons—and the right cut can make all the difference. In today’s fashion landscape, where style goes hand in hand with function, selecting swimwear isn’t just about fit; it’s about discovering a silhouette that complements your shape and reflects your style.</p><div><br/></div><p>Whether you&#x27;re drawn to minimalist one-pieces or high-glamour bikinis, understanding how certain cuts interact with your proportions is key. Fashion experts agree: strategic design elements—like high-cut legs that elongate or ruching that contours—can elevate both confidence and comfort. But this isn’t about following rules; it’s about decoding what works for you.</p><div><br/></div><p>To help you discover your swimwear style, we asked our <strong>Metro Most Stylish</strong> girls about their preferences, favorite brands, and things to consider when shopping for a bikini.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><strong>Ella Pangilinan-Miranda</strong></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/174788839703241.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Photos from @ellapangilinanx on Instagram</span></span></span></div><p>Metro.Style: <strong>Which bikini cuts do you find most flattering for your body type? Why?</strong></p><p>Ella Pangilinan-Miranda: I gravitate towards classic triangle tops and bandeau sets. They help give shape to my rectangle frame and are perfect for tanning. I also love a great one-piece for days when I want a more polished, styled-up beach look.</p><div><br/></div><p>MS: <strong>Do you prefer minimalist designs or bold, statement-making swimwear?</strong></p><p>EPM: I lean towards minimalist designs with clean lines and flattering cuts. I’d rather invest in a few beautifully made pieces that match any beach or resort look.</p><div><br/></div><p>MS: <strong>What are the brands you like to shop from and recommend?</strong></p><p>EPM: I love Hindy Weber for the unique yet timeless silhouettes. It always feels intentional. I’m also a fan of Hunza G; the crinkle fabric adapts to every body, so I can wear it through all seasons of my life. I even share them with my mom and sisters! We each make sure to get different styles and colors.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><strong>Verniece Enciso-Dichaves</strong></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/174788847987142.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Photos from @vernieceenciso on Instagram</span></span></span></div><p>Metro.Style: <strong>What is your go-to bikini style?</strong></p><p>Verniece Enciso-Dichaves: It actually took me a while to feel confident in swimwear. I used to be super self-conscious about my body—especially my thighs from years of ice skating. I’d often shy away from wearing anything too revealing at the beach. But now that I’m in my 30s and have had the chance to explore different cuts and styles, I’ve found what works for me. High-cut one-piece swimsuits are my go-to! They flatter my shape, elongate my legs, and most importantly, make me feel confident and comfortable in my own skin.</p><div><br/></div><p>MS: <strong>Which bikini cuts do you find most flattering for your body type?</strong></p><p>VED: High-cut one-piece styles work best for me. The higher leg cut gives the illusion of longer legs and a feminine shape overall. I love how it balances coverage with just the right amount of skin, and it makes me feel confident whether I’m swimming, sunbathing, or just lounging poolside.</p><div><br/></div><p>MS: <strong>Do you prefer minimalist designs or bold, statement-making swimwear?</strong></p><p>VED: Definitely minimalist. I love clean lines and neutral tones that can be styled again and again. They’re easier to mix and match and I love that they never go out of style.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><strong>Marie Lozano-Gekoski</strong></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/174788859239440.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo from @iammarlielozano on Instagram</span></span></span></div><p>Metro.Style: <strong>What is your go-to bikini style?</strong></p><p>Marie Lozano-Gekoski: I always find myself reaching for triangle tops paired with Brazilian or cheeky bottoms. These styles are what I feel most confident in, but they’re also incredibly functional—especially when I’m paddle boarding, snorkeling, or staying active at the beach.</p><div><br/></div><p>MS: <strong>Which bikini cuts do you find most flattering for your body type?</strong></p><p>MLG: With a slim frame, I find that triangle tops help enhance my shape and add subtle definition to the upper body. Brazilian and cheeky bottoms are super flattering because they give the illusion of curves and add more dimension—they really balance out a more slender silhouette without feeling overwhelming.</p><div><br/></div><p>MS: <strong>Do you prefer minimalist designs or bold, statement-making swimwear?</strong></p><p>MLG: I tend to prefer minimalist designs—clean lines and classic cuts that I can mix and match.</p><div><br/></div><p>MS: <strong>What are the brands you like to shop from and recommend?</strong></p><p>MLG: I’m a big fan of Agua Brazilian Swimwear, which is actually owned by good friends of mine. I genuinely love their pieces—they have such flattering cuts, great quality, and always feel good to wear.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><strong>Mikaela Lagdameo</strong></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/174788866337343.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Photos from @mikaelamartinez on Instagram</span></span></span></div><p>Metro.Style: <strong>Which bikini cuts do you find most flattering for your body type? </strong></p><p>Mikaela Lagdameo: I always go for triangle and string bikinis. I love how both my tops and bottoms are adjustable, and the tan lines are great.</p><div><br/></div><p>MS: <strong>Do you prefer minimalist designs or bold, statement-making swimwear?</strong></p><p>ML: I have always preferred a lot of solid colors, but I also own a lot of prints! I like a good balance of minimal and maximalist swimwear. </p><div><br/></div><p>MS: <strong>What are the brands you like to shop from and recommend?</strong></p><p>ML: Some of the swimwear brands I swear by are: Blackbough Swim, Vix Swim, Monday Swimwear, Agua Brazilian Swimwear, and Cabanna Living.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><strong>Aliza Apostol-Goco</strong></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/174788875787644.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Photos from @mustlovemom on Instagram</span></span></span></div><p>Metro.Style: <strong>Which bikini cuts do you find most flattering for your body type? </strong></p><p>Aliza Apostol-Goco: Bikini-style bottoms work best for me, either tie-side or with clean, seamless lines. For tops, I usually go for a bandeau. I tan a lot, and while triangle or halter styles are flattering, I prefer minimal tan lines—so bandeau it is!</p><div><br/></div><p>MS: <strong>Do you prefer minimalist designs or bold, statement-making swimwear?</strong></p><p>AAG: I usually stick to minimalist designs—solid colors, good fit, and pieces I can keep wearing over the years. But I’m also open to subtle textures or prints if they feel classic enough.</p><div><br/></div><p>MS: <strong>What are the brands you like to shop from and recommend?</strong></p><p>AAG: I like supporting local brands like Blackbough, Cesa, Coral, Glō Resort Wear, and more. I also love H&amp;M swimwear—affordable, simple, and surprisingly good quality. I still have bikinis from them that have lasted for decades! For international brands, I’ve also had a few staples from Hunza G and Matteau.</p>
