Brazilian pants
Brazilian styles are great for making smaller bums appear fuller, giving the impression of a larger bum shape. These styles can appear intimidating, but if you’ve got the confidence to work it then this style is for you.
However, they actually have the opposite effect if you have a round or wide shaped booty. Opting for a bikini style that has more fabric will make your bum appear bigger. So if you’ve got it, flaunt it with a killer Brazilian pant style, because less is more - like this stylish design from ViX!

This gives your bum an extra lift and gives the impression of a perkier booty! Different panel designs highlight different aspects of your shape, so you’ll be able to find the most flattering bikini bottom for you.

Hipster style bikini bottoms also work their magic by adding curves to a boxy-style butt or an athletic body shape.

Tie side pants
If you have a bottom-heavy bum, so most of your shape sits in the bottom of your cheeks, then tie side pants are the style that you need to add to your summer wardrobe. Since you can choose how much coverage you get from a tie side bikini bottom, you decide how much to lift your bum, creating a peachier posterior for you to own at the beach.
This is also the case for flatter booty shapes. The thin ties such as those on the Boho Grace Tie Side Bikini Pant from Watercult draw attention to the sides of your bum which takes the focus off of your rear and makes your bum appear curvier. Adjust the tie sides however you prefer for your shape and style. This gorgeous Scallop Tie Side Bikini Pant promises a perfect fit with its wide coverage for a timeless yet sexy summer look.
