    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 14 styles).

    Old Navy

    Promising review: "I bought these along with the matching yellow top, and I love the set. Based on a previous review, I sized down from my usual size in Old Navy bottoms, and I'm glad I did. These have decent coverage in both the front and back (thank god, because I don't know what some of these companies are thinking with the super high cut crotches). I do wish the rise were a bit higher, but a lot of that is just my body type. The yellow is gorgeous and the quality is great for the price, so I suggest giving them a try!" —Sophie B. 

    Get it from Old Navy for $5.97+ (originally $28+, with discount taken at checkout; available in sizes XS–4X and three colors; check out the matching ribbed Old Navy bikini tops to complete the set!). 

    12. 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 $32.99+ (available in sizes XS–22 Plus and 42 colors).

    13. A criss-crossing bikini so effortlessly cool that your friends will nearly break their own thumbs tapping the "like" button on your beach Instagrams.

    Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in sizes XL–4XL and 13 styles). 

    14. A high-waisted ruffled bikini with a nautical vibe that will have you yelling "ahoy, matey!!" every time you need a friend to grab you a seltzer poolside.

    Promising review: "I bought three suits to try on. This one was the WINNER. I polled three friends and my husband. The bottoms are true high waist. Blue IS MY color. The top has no buckles or ties. So you it slip on. Nothing to come undone or leave weird tan lines. Butt has full coverage." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in four styles).

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes M–28 Plus and 35 styles). 

    16. A floral retro-inspired bikini with such a nostalgic vibe you might find yourself adding a waterproof red lipstick or cat-eye sunglasses to your cart to complete the ~look~.

    a different reviewer wearing the same swimsuit but in white with green and pink florals all over it

    Promising review: "I bought a 4XL (US 16)  — I wear about a 16 normally. I have always searched for TRUE high-waisted swim bottoms, to only find that it just comes to the top of my belly button. (That is mid-waist to me.) Anywho, this comes well past my belly button and it is AMAZING! The top is a little less supportive than I would like, but definitely not a dealbreaker, and still comfortable. Material is nice and provides nice coverage on my behind. I will buy another one, for sure!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in sizes S–4XL and 28 prints).

    17. A bright lightly-shirred one piece swimsuit so classic and well-made that everyone will be thrilled to see your Iconic Swimsuit make its reemergence to mark the start of summer.

    Nordstrom

    Promising review: "Love this suit. I never wear a one piece because my chest is a smaller size than my hips. This suit fits perfectly in both areas, with the nicely covered bottom never riding up. It's a great basic suit at a good price. I love the thin straps as well. " —LCRM 

    Get it from Nordstrom for $83 (available in sizes 2–16 and four colors). 

    18. A ruffle-top bikini with a criss-cross pattern perfect for anyone who's had it up to HERE!! with the same boring bikini options every summer and wants something playful and distinct.

    Promising review: "Fits great! I'm 5'4", 200 lbs, 36DD, and bottom heavy. I ordered an XL. The top was perfect and versatile, just like the picture. Bottom fit great, super cute. Total butt coverage. Purple is a bit darker than the image, not so much fuchsia. Order came quickly." —Suzy M. 

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes 2XL-4XL and 11 colors and styles).

    19. A front crossover one-piece swimsuit for an unexpected ~twist~ that will make all the back crossover suits at the beach do a jealous double-take.

    Promising review: "The suit fits wonderfully! It’s not too tight nor is it loose and saggy. The straps cross at the chest, are not tight, and really provide zero support. With that said it is comfortable and practical. The butt is full coverage. Not too much showing at all. It's perfect for me chasing after my kiddos without worrying I’m going to have a slip of too much!" —Kirsten Miles

    Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in women's sizes 4–18 and 44 styles).

    Athleta

    Promising review: "I would recommend this to others — truly. The fabric is soft, stretchy, and of a good quality. The rise provides great coverage while the ties add a little fun." —Anonymous 

    Get it from Athleta for $19.97+ (available in sizes XXS–XL and four colors; check out the matching Athleta bikini tops to complete the set!). 

    22. A racerback one-piece swimsuit with shorts already built right in, so when everyone else is wrangling theirs back on at the end of the day you can frolic free.

    Promising review: "I love this suit! Thick material, lined on inside and built to last. Not see through. The legs do not ride up and do not fit too tightly or squeeze the thigh too much. They are just long enough to provide complete coverage of your butt and upper thigh. It's just moderately stretchy, but it's stretchy enough for swimming all strokes, stretching, etc. Straps do not fall off or move at all, thanks to the racerback design. This fabric seems to hold up to pool chlorine, so far, no problem. I swim three times a week and have been wearing it for four weeks so far and it still looks like it's new. Thank goodness they added some more color choices including the nicely muted gray color." —Linda L. 

    Get it from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in 17 colors and styles).

    23. A sweet scalloped one-piece swimsuit with a little tie at the bust *plus* fully adjustable straps so you'll be fully supported if you take a break from Being Cute In A Swimsuit to Crush Everyone At Frisbee In A Swimsuit.

    Get it from Target for $28+ (originally $45; available in sizes XS–XL and 14–24 and four colors). 

    24. An underwire high-waisted bikini so tropical and fun you'll look at your hand and expect a pineapple mojito to spontaneously appear.

    Swimsuits For All

    Promising review: "Super cute. I bought this last month and it looks fantastic. I did have to return and size up on the top, as it definitely runs small. There is great coverage on the bottoms. Will definitely keep shopping here for swimsuits." —jillc

    Get it from Swimsuits For All for $9.97+ (originally $120; available in sizes 4–24 and in four patterns).

    25. A vintage-inspired tie-front high-waist bikini so effortlessly chic that you'll be ~swimming~ in compliments and people asking where you bought it. 

    Promising review: "I looked for weeks for the perfect suit and kept coming back to this one. SO glad I ordered it! The top is so cute. I wanted bottoms that provided good coverage and these are just perfect. The top of the bottoms hits just above my belly button. Love love love this suit!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in sizes 4–14 and in five varieties).
