The perfect swimsuit for each Enneagram type

Even though exam szn can make all things warm and sunny feel *so* far away, summer is coming up fast. You know what that means? It's time to update that 'kini collection. 

Cute suits are an absolute must-have for the summertime, but with so many patterns, styles and brands to choose from, it can be a bit overwhelming to select your underwater wardrobe. Thankfully, your Enneagram type can tell us a ton about your personal style. After some careful curation, we've selected the ideal swimmie for you based on your personality. We can't wait for your poolside Insta pics.

If you haven't taken the Enneagram Personality Test before, click here to figure out which type you are.

Type 1: The Perfectionist

This elegant set just screams coastal grandmother summer, and we are so here for it. A good match for the rational Type 1 girl, this triangle bikini is a classic look that works for just about any occasion. Fourth of July pool party? Beach day with your besties? This timeless top-and-bottom pair will never fail you. 


Aerie, top $24, bottoms $19

Type 2: The Helper

Type 2 girls are always the first to lend a helping hand to others, so they deserve to serve some looks too. This delicate one-piece has a romantic-feeling, feminine cut that we're *so* obsessed with. The gentle color scheme and floral pattern represent the kind and considerate (yet still stylish!) gal you are. 


Cider, $20

Type 3: The Achiever

One thing is for certain: Type 3 girls like to shine. Good thing this suit will match your attention-grabbing energy. With a classy scoop neck and eye-catching iridescence, you'll be the belle of the midsummer ball. And that shimmering blue color gives total Aquamarine vibes, don't you think? 


Aerie, top $26, bottoms $19

Type 4: The Individualist

If we know something about Type 4s, it's that they're anything but ordinary. Luckily, this swimmie has a pattern and cut that puts a totally unique spin on the classic triangle 'kini. Our fave part is def that sassy wrap-around waist. 


Target, top $20, bottoms $15

Type 5: The Investigator

Type 5 girls are usually a bit more reserved than others—but DW, you can use that trait to your advantage. In this chic O'Neill wetsuit, you'll be blending modesty with a flirty cutout. Are you off to catch some waves or just lounge by the pool? The world may never know. 


O'Neill, $80

Type 6: The Loyalist

You're a loyal gal, which means you need a swimsuit that won't let you down, either. Thankfully, this one-shoulder bikini is both cute *and* comfy. The high-waisted bottoms will enhance your mobility, but the mesh cutouts will keep you looking oh-so trendy. Def the move for an inpromptu pool party. 


Target, top $20, bottoms $23

Type 7: The Enthusiast

What better way to show off your fun-loving energy than with an asymmetric one-piece that changes colors? Yep, you heard that right. When you take a dip in the ocean, the cool temps will change your suit from yellow and pink to red and purple. It goes without saying: This is the ultimate Type 7 swimsuit. 


Cupshe, $30

Type 8: The Challenger

Bold and fiery, this suit matches Type 8 girls so well. A bright red bikini is classic and eye-catching, but the etched floral pattern keeps that laid-back energy. If you've got a tropical vacation on tap for the summer, be sure to add this one to your carry-on ASAP.


Pacsun, top $24, bottoms $20

Type 9: The Peacemaker

This baby pink set was made for all Type 9 girlies. The soft, towel-like fabric has a  chill and easygoing feel, just like you! And that classic scoop neck cut is appealing to almost all body types—perf for any peacemaker. Complete the look with a cute cowboy hat and you'll serve up total coastal cowgirl vibes, too.
