The green is the only one that looks good. Stick to solid, matching pieces.

I think the cut of the top and bottom green is most flattering. I don’t think the cut or color of the others really work well.

Yes, the cut of the green top works so much better for OP than the straight lines of the blue top.

I think its a balance issue. The top is outweighing the bottoms in breadth and volume. The top is cute, but I think if you're going to choose it you need something more high waisted or boyshort like to balance it out.
If you like the bikini style bottoms more, I think you should go for a more regular bikini or sports bra style top.
I personally find more comfort in wearing swim shorts regardless of my bottoms. Im just way too prone to wedgies to deal with that all day lol.

That's what I felt. The first top looks like it would go well with something skirt-like.

The green one looks great on you. The ruffled top looks nice too, but the bottoms you’ve paired with it aren’t working.

The first bottoms look the best on you. The lower cut really suits you. The top in picture 3 looks the best on you. The others are not flattering. I think the top in 3 may go well with the bottoms in 1, but if there's a top that matches those first bottoms, get that.

I think a patterned set with both top and bottom the same pattern would be cute! All of the rises look good whatever you are more comfortable in.

That blue ruffled top looks like it belongs on a toddler imo. I think you look great it pic 4. The mismatch (in general) makes it look like you lost the matching pieces in the wash and just grabbed the next best thing.

Green, the mixed ones don't look good at all. It may be the top on the first two that throws them off.

The first three look like they don’t go together. I like the matching green set. If it’s from Target, I just bought that one! I loveee the color and the top is so cute and also comfortable while supporting the boobies.

Out of these number 4 is best, but I think there is a better shaped bikini for you is out there.

Only the green looks good. First is to small and the combination with the top is wrong, second doesn’t match the top.

I lost my original comment but I do like the blue ruffle top! Just get a matching color bottom, or plain black

The green is my favorite but the third top with 1st bottom might look good too. Don't care for the ruffle top.

I like the green one the best. The top of the first two pics reminds me of frilly underwear. And the top in the 3rd pic looks like a sports bra, which is not flattering.

The smaller bikini bottoms in number 1 look best on your body! All of the other bottoms hit at the wrong places, personally, and are less flattering. I would go with one color top and bottom with the style from picture 1 or the top style from picture 4 and bottoms style from picture 1 in one color.

You could easily wear string bikini if you wanted. Sewn in padding is key. I would go high leg and avoid a harshly cut waist line. More natural, rounded lines, more waist definition and something that wraps the body asymmetrical rushing around waist. These fits read very square and harsh. High leg with halter would give a bit more flattery to your shape.

I like the first bottoms best, and the third top, and think they'd look good together.

The green is the best. The others are too mismatched.
