No curves, no problem! Not all women can be classified as apples, pears or bananas, but we do look to celebs for inpso on fashion and beauty. If you have a body like Selena Gomez, Olivia Palermo<\/strong> or Hilary Duff,<\/strong> check out our gallery to get some bikini inspiration<\/a>. AND read these expert tips from a stylist.<\/p>\n Fashion expert Lindsey Nolan<\/strong><\/a> has styled stars like Olivia Culpo<\/strong> and tells HollywoodLife.com<\/strong> readers EXCLUSIVELY, “Having a straighter figure is wonderful for clothes but not as great for swimwear. A great option for ladies with a more athletic body type is to create the illusion of curves with a monokini! The monokini is a hybrid between a bikini and a one piece. Typically, a monokini is more revealing than a traditional one piece. This swimwear style curves in at the stomach, with what’s usually a smaller strip of fabric connecting the top to the bottom portion.<\/p>\n This creates an hourglass shape with the fabric giving the illusion of a curvy body. A great brand to consider shopping this look is Venus.<\/strong> If you\u2019re looking for a more modest version, look at Luminora.<\/strong> While they\u2019re most well known for their sun-protective apparel, their Portofino Bathing Suit<\/strong> would really look great on straight figured girls. Another trick if you have an athletic build is simple: show more skin! Covering up will only make you look straighter, thus try smaller pieces like a cheeky cut bottom and a triangle top. Thin straps are also key. Straight figured celeb gals like Cameron Diaz<\/strong><\/a> and Gisele Bundchen<\/strong> always follow this swimwear uniform.”<\/p>\n HollywoodLifers<\/strong>, are you looking for the best bikinis for a straight shape body type?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You’re probably familiar with terms like straight, rectangle, and banana shaped — whatever you want to call your body, we have celeb inspo and expert tips for you to find the best bikini.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":37017106,"featured_media":2767713,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exclude_post_from_river":false,"_cr_original_post":"","_cr_replace_post_id":"","_cr_replacing_post_id":"","mt_seo_title":"Best Bikinis For A Straight Shape -- Rectangular Ladies Unite","mt_seo_description":"If you have a \"boyish body type\" check out these celebrity-modeled best bikinis for a straight shape.","_pmc_canonical_override":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"2017-09-02T14:00:19Z","apple_news_api_id":"28a7f18a-ad31-4ed1-a163-1cb126a3eaff","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2017-09-02T14:00:20Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/AKKfxiq0xTtGhYxyxJqPq_w","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"middle","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":["https:\/\/u48r14.digitalhub.com\/sections\/0eeb274c-9169-304a-8cfa-4dce69866971"],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[378005372,378005381],"tags":[7061,4769446,378005032,236363,378004961],"_post-options":[],"coauthors":[193177415],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/celebrity-bikini-bodies-ftr.jpg?fit=620%2C349","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pc8i1J-bBYD","amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2767595"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/37017106"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2767595"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2767595\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4969814,"href":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2767595\/revisions\/4969814"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2767713"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2767595"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2767595"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2767595"},{"taxonomy":"_post-options","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/_post-options?post=2767595"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=2767595"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
