1. A unique one-shoulder bikini set that I can guarantee you'll be the only one rockin' at the pool. It comes with an adorable pair of high-waisted bottoms with plenty of coverage, too!
Promising review: "I really like this bathing suit. It's well-made, thick, and very soft. The bottom does not slip and slide, but it is on the cheekier side. Because it's high-waisted, it accentuates me in all the right places. I would recommend this bathing suit; it's my favorite one I’ve ordered off of Amazon. Just bought one in another color." —peyton edward gamble

Promising review: "Best swimsuit I've bought online! Buy it for the top alone! I bought this suit and absolutely love it! The top is so cute that I've worn it by itself and received tons of compliments. It fits great and provides a lot of support, which is nice. The material is thick as well, and I felt very comfortable in it. The bottoms are adorable and high-waisted and fit great. It runs true to size, and the colors are vibrant. Overall, love this suit!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Absolutely wonderful!! I'm heavy-chested so I didn't expect it to fit up top, but everywhere else is great! It's very stretchy and the material is exactly what you'd expect from a bathing suit. Very sexy, fits well, and good quality for the price!!" —Ruth Patterson

Peep our write-up about why this just might be *the* best bathing suit on the interwebs.
Promising review: "First I want to say that I RARELY write reviews, but I am doing so in the hopes that others with my body type (short, plus-size, AND top-heavy) will find this useful. This particular swimsuit is very well made! The colors are as vibrant as the picture, the material is thick like a typical swimsuit, and the breast area's lining feels as though it is doubled up. The bottom is full coverage if you don't have much 'under cheek,' as I like to call it. I will probably be ordering from them again!" —VA_Gurl
Get it from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and in 30 colors).
7. A hybrid swim and exercise dress perfect for enjoying a game of tennis followed by a refreshing dip in the pool. Did I mention it has a built-in-bra, adjustable straps, shorts, *and* pockets on both sides? Plus, it's made with eco-processed fabric that has SPF 50+ sun protection
Kitty and Vibe is a body-inclusive woman-owned small business that designs pieces to make everyone who wears them feel comfortable and confident! I have this bathing suit and it's super cute — I like it for days when I'm feeling a bit bloated and would rather not have my entire stomach on display (ahem, always).
Promising review: "This dress is literally my new obsession. The fact that you can swim in it, work out in it, or just look cute going out and about !!! It’s super comfy. Also, side pockets on BOTH SIDES?! Seriously RUN, don’t walk, and get this dress !!"—Martha Llama
Get it from Kitty and Vibe for $110+ (available in sizes XS–5XL and seven styles).

Promising review: "Can I say how much I am in LOVE with this swimsuit! It fits perfectly, allows you to choose the level of appeal you want with the zipper, and the print is AMAZING. I feel like going to the pool right now just so someone can see me in it!" —Mrs. M
Get it from Amazon for $32.46+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 11 styles).
9. A THREE-piece mesh set, yes, you read that correctly — this unicorn comes with a bikini top, bikini bottoms, and an optional cover-up drawstring dress. This set was made for those splendid vacation days when you exit the pool and only have to walk a few feet to the tiki bar.
Promising reviews: "I absolutely love this set. The colors are beautiful...and I feel extremely good in this two piece. I love that the thong bottoms aren't your traditional thong; it's about three inches thicker, so I don't have to worry about it riding up. The cover up is thick enough to have a little spandex support [but] not too thick to be a sweat box on these extremely hot days. I highly recommend." —Anyika
"I’m not completely comfortable with showing my body, but I still wanted to feel like I wasn’t completely covered up during our vacation. This did the trick. … I was covered mostly but still felt sexy. Love it." —Crissy
Get it from Amazon for $31.99+ (available in sizes L–4X and dozens of colors).
10. A high-waisted ribbed bottom you can easily mix and match with basically any bikini top you already own! It's super versatile and reviewers love the crossover design that offers just enough coverage.
Promising review: "This is the most favorite bikini bottom I own. I love the crossover detail and the rise is perfect. The ribbed detailing adds the perfect touch. I hope this is made in more color options. I will buy them ALL!" —Rochelle
Get it from Aerie for $15 (originally $30; available in sizes XXS–XXL).
11. A stunning lace-up, off-the-shoulder one-piece because who said you can't continue to serve looks while wearing a bathing suit?? Pair it with denim shorts when you're out and about and it'll look like *the* cutest bodysuit to ever exist.
Promising review: "This bathing suit was just what I needed for a food and drink–inclusive party. The fabric did not feel cheap and the color was super vibrant. I was very happy with the fit, quality, and style of this bathing suit. The backside provides coverage and is not high cut at all. Sexy but full coverage pretty much everywhere." —Amazon users
Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL, 18–22, and in 40 styles).
12. A bikini trimmed with playful tassels if you're all about making a statement with your iconic swimwear choices. The tassels will dance about when you move, so get ready for all eyes on you!
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Heather Braga says: "Before you start yelling at me via the comments that you're tired of seeing this bathing suit, hear me out. I took my own advice and purchased this ever-popular suit and — WHATTYA KNOW — it's amazing. I was worried about putting it in the wash, but surprisingly all of the pom-poms stayed intact. The only suggestion I have for you is to remember to put sunscreen on your lil' exposed mid-section. I forgot and paid the price with a strip of not-so-cute red across my entire body. Ouch."
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes 4–16 and 10 styles).
13. An adorable gingham print swimsuit, which may inspire you to host a picnic on the beach, and who could blame you? It has adjustable straps, snap buttons, and it's made from recycled fabric that helps keep plastics out of the oceans.
Andie is a small biz that specializes in swimsuits made to be moved in. Their swimsuits are comfortable, well-made, and well-cut to prevent constant adjusting and tugging while you're wearing any of their pieces.
Promising review: "This suit is truly beautiful. Well made, nicely lined, and so pretty. I feel covered up enough to enjoy the beach with my kids, but it’s also a surprisingly sexy/confidence boosting suit. Totally in love with it, another great purchase from Andie." —Jillian S.
Get it from Andie for $128 (available in sizes XS–3X, in classic or long torso sizes, and in three colors/styles).
14. A V-neck one-piece with the prettiest mesh detailing so you can be as stylish as you please — even when you're just kickin' it by the pool on your day off.
Promising review: "I haven't worn a bathing suit in years. I just didn't feel comfortable. Forced to buy a suit, not looking to spend big bucks, I stumbled across this. Unbelievable! It fits perfectly AND it's so comfy. I've never wanted to be in a bathing suit, but now I can't wait to wear it again! Warning! Don't forget sunscreen on your belly! I have a cool design tanned across my front!" —Katie H
Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in sizes M–XXL, 16–30, and in 37 styles).
15. A strappy two-piece that'll probably make you feel like you're starring in your very own music video, so don't be afraid to strut your stuff up and down the shore!
Promising review: "I was so skeptical but I'm glad I ordered. I was scared it wouldn’t fit or the material would be cheap and tear easily. I was wrong. The fit is perfect and the material is thick and stretchy. I received so many compliments. Shipment was quick also! Definitely a good buy. I’m actually looking to buy more colors." —Sancia Ellis
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes XL–4XL and 13 styles).
16. A ribbed cut-out suit for giving the illusion that you're wearing a two-piece but it's actually just a very ~hip~ one-piece that'll pair wonderfully with a beachy cover-up.
Psst! Some reviewers recommend sizing up.
Promising review: "I am typically against one pieces because they never sit right on me but had to for a bachelorette. This piece is so adorable. It fits so well and makes me feel so confident. I highly recommend!" — Chicagogalpal
Get it from Anthropologie for $148 (available in sizes XS–XL and in white).
17. A cropped rash guard top and high-waisted bottom set because being a poolside cutie does *not* mean you have to subject yourself to a painful sunburn. Everyone will be asking where you got it, so prepare to share the deets.
Promising review: "Loved this suit! I went to Mexico on vacation and was concerned with getting too much sun. The top was perfect, and I was expecting to hate the bottoms, but they fit and looked great for my frame! Not only was this functional but super cute, and I received a lot of compliments. I also did not get sunburned laying on the beach all day." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes 4–16 and in nine colors/styles).
18. A vintage-style peplum tankini set if you swore this would be the year you'd try something different and get yourself a printed suit with bold colors and patterns. This is the one!
Promising review: "I purchased three of these swimsuits for a cruise, and I loved everything about them. I’ve never liked one-pieces, especially trying to put them on or taking them off to go the bathroom. So I decided on a two-piece. The bottom was comfortable as well as the top. I was worried about the top since I’m top heavy, but it fit really nice. I would purchase again in a heartbeat. Got a lot of compliments, and I felt confident walking around in just the swimsuit." —Sweet Evet
Get it from Amazon for $39.98 (available in sizes L–4X and in 13 colors).

Promising review: "First of all, I never write reviews but this suit is beyond amazing, so I felt like I needed to share! I hate swimsuits, hate shopping for them, and especially hate putting them on. This is by far the most comfortable and adorable suit I have ever put on. I am in love! I sized up and it fits perfectly! I am a mom of three little ones, so I am constantly running around in a suit, and this stays put and, as I mentioned before, it is so comfortable. I want it in all the colors now!!!" —Michael A. Byrd
Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and in six colors).
21. An off-shoulder silhouette set, which is basically what chic swimsuit dreams are made of. It has adjustable *and* removable straps, an optional padded pushup bra, and high-waisted bottoms.
Promising review: "I LOVE this !!! I ordered it mainly for the top because I was a little skeptical of the bottoms, the way they were cut and whatnot, because I am curvy, and the model is not LOL. But when I put them on, they looked great and felt great! I've also worn the top with pants and made an outfit!" —Shana McDaniel
Get it from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in sizes XXS–XXL, 18–24, and in 47 colors).
22. A floral bikini set that'll have you planning your next tropical vacation the moment you try it on. It has the sweetest lil' front-tie detail and a halter closure for just the right amount of '90s vibes.
Promising reviews: "It’s so hard to find a swimsuit that fits me, so I was super thrilled when I tried this on and it fit perfectly. I’m a plus size girl whose top is smaller than her bottom. I ordered a size 40B in the top which is hard to find and a 2X in the bottom and it fit perfectly. I love the color and pattern. I can’t wait to wear it for my birthday trip this summer." –Eugenia R.
"Loving this suit, and that you can choose your size for top and bottom separately makes for a perfect fit! I ordered the bottoms a bit big so they don't cut in and make it look like they are too small, I was afraid they would fall down once they got wet, but they held up in the ocean!" —Casey H.
Get the set from Adore Me for $49.95 (pricing varies for members; available in top sizes 38DD–46DD, bottom sizes M–4X, and in three colors. Also available in straight sizes).

My body changed a lot last year when I wasn't working out the way my body was used to and it was my first summer not breastfeeding. This Summersault suit has helped me feel confident and comfortable this year and allows me to feel good about my body while playing with my kids. I'm ordering 3 more pieces today." —Alicia O.
Get it from Summersalt for $95 (available in sizes 2–22 and 12 colors/styles)

Promising review: "I was hesitant to buy a bathing suit from Amazon, especially because my bottom half is usually larger in bathing suit sizes than my top. After reading reviews and looking at people's photos of the suit, I decided to purchase it. I am so happy I did. I am so impressed with the quality. The suit is made out of a nice thick comfortable material. If you are thinking about purchasing this definitely do. You will be so happy with this suit!" —Emma
