Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.
1. A backless retro-inspired one-piece swimsuit that'll make you feel like you fell out of a very chic time machine.
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-sized, 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. I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of coverage that I got. 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 $21.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and in 16 varieties).
2. A high-waisted colorblock bikini you'll love not just for the fun colors, but because it'll stay the heck *put* when you're gallivanting out on the beach. I've had this suit for two summers now and it's my go-to!
The material on this suit is super sturdy and comfy, and though the bottoms are definitely on the ~cheeky~ side, it stays super secure. What I really love about this suit though is how fun it is to pair with any other bright colors, like yellows and pinks — it makes it super easy to accessorize for beach days. The straps are also adjustable so you can get your best fit! This suit feels a lot more expensive than the $25 I paid.
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 20 colors).
3. A crochet-trimmed one-piece with so many cute details it'll be a miracle if you even make it down to the pool, you'll be so busy admiring yourself in the mirror.
Promising review: "To say I love this suit is an understatement! It’s amazing!!!! I like to be covered, but I still want something fun. This totally did the trick and cost wayyyy less than an Anthropologie look-alike!" —Gina masucci
Get it from Amazon for $29.97+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 22 colors and prints).
4. A twirly cutout swimdress so when someone amps up the pool playlist you can boogie in *style*.
Psst — some reviewers recommend sizing up.
Promising review: "Stop looking and BUY this! This is the best bathing suit I've ever had. I took a chance on this swimsuit and OH. MY. GOD. It makes me look and feel like a bombshell! I bought a size up from my normal size and the fit is perfect! The material is fantastic. High quality and makes you feel supported. The chest area is so nice and the padding is beautiful. I'm definitely gonna buy another! I've already had so many compliments and friends asking where I found this gem! Buy. This. Bathing suit." —Asia Pasmat
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes XL–5XL and in 19 prints).
5. A V-neck bikini and matching high-waisted bottoms reviewers *love* not just because they're cute as heck, but because the fabric is super comfy and supportive, complete with fully adjustable straps on the top.
Kitty and Vibe is a sustainable small swimwear brand that specializes in sustainable, well-fitted suits, complete with a fit quiz to find out what size works best for you!
Promising review (for the top): "As a person with a bigger bust and body, I consider this top a DREAM. Not only did this not dig into my shoulders it’s the perfect combo of support and cute. I have been obsessing over this triangle top since I tried it on!" —A.L.
Promising review (for the bottom): "This fabric is so soft and I love how the swimsuit doesn't ride up as you are staying active. It has the absolute perfect amount of coverage but still emphasizes cheeks! My favorite part is the crossover band, it looks so good on every body!" —K.B.
Get the top from Kitty and Vibe for $58 (available in seven sizes and two patterns) and the bottoms for $52 (available in six sizes and two patterns).
6. A tasseled bikini so you can shake and shimmy all up and down the beach whenever someone inevitably demands you reenact any of the songs from a Mamma Mia movie.
7. A tie-dye bandeau bikini that basically says "party in the front *and* party in the back" — between the eye-catching colors and the distinctly fun back tie-strings, you'll rock one of the most unique looks on the beach.
8. A vintage-inspired one-piece swimsuit with a subtly ruched front and some real "let's meet up at the ice cream social at the dinner after this" vibes.
Promising review: "This is a RAVE review. I got a LOT of compliments on this suit. The cups are well-formed, the bottom gives full coverage, and the material seems to be good quality. I love the ruched front." —CMSchoonover
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in sizes 4–16 and in ten prints).
9. An edgy fishnet panel bikini you'll be tempted to pair with some badass biker boots just as readily as your flip-flops.
Promising review: "As soon as I tried this bathing suit on, I knew I needed it in every color! Absolutely love the way it looks and feels on me. Buy it, you won't be disappointed." —Shikiera vasquez
Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in sizes L–3XL and in 10 colors).
10. A floral one-piece to serve a modern twist on a classic style — the cute lil' keyhole and crossing back straps are a perfect blend of vintage and fresh.
11. A delightfully mismatched floral bikini for anyone whose beach style is firmly in that sunshine-y zone between cute and quirky.
Promising review: "Absolutely love this swimsuit! Fits me perfectly and true to size! The coverage for the bottoms is great!" —Jessica McGuffee
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in eight colors).
12. A compressive colorblock one-shoulder swimsuit so beloved it has *thousands* of fans in its reviews praising it for its cuteness and support. Bonus: it comes in so many colors you could basically outfit the whole squad in them 👯♀️.
Promising review: "I wanted a suit that would fit me in all the right places. This one shows off your shoulders, hugs your tummy, and covers your full butt! I highly recommend!" —Christina C
Get it from Summersalt for $95 (available in sizes 0–24 and 11 styles).
13. A colorblock one-piece swimsuit with the potential to match so many ridiculously cute accessories that your closet will be *delighted* to see it.
Promising review: "Love this swimsuit! I am small chested and was worried it would gape at the V-neck but I could do a cartwheel and feel secure in this suit. Excellent fabric and is made really well like an expensive suit. I also wanted coverage on my butt and it’s perfect. Great coverage without looking grandma. Highly recommend!" —Ala
Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in sizes XS–2XL and 16 styles).
14. A buckled bikini top (plus the matching bottoms!) so retro glam that you might find yourself with an entirely new wardrobe to match.
15. A peplum tankini set for anyone who loves cheap thrills *and* frills, because for a suit this cute at a price like this, you're definitely getting both.
16. A plunging one-piece bathing suit with a convertible strap that lets you wear them crossed in the front for a keyhole look *or* as a halter top in the back, so you basically scored two suits for one.
Promising review: "Great suit! Love the leaf design for our beach vacation. The bottom is full coverage, the suit is not see-through at all. The removable cups were kind of weird so I just took them out and you couldn’t even tell!" —Mary Zuniga
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes S–22 Plus and 45 colors).
