1. A bandeau one piece that's really an investment in *several* suits — this can be worn strapless, or the two removable straps can be worn three different ways depending on the vibe.
Promising review: "I’ve tried on this swimsuit and it fits perfectly! True to size! I actually thought it might be a flop, but I was surprised! Can’t wait to go to the beach! I love that it comes with two straps so I can go halter style, two normal straps, or two straps crisscrossed in the back." —Jason
Get it from Amazon $25.99+ (available in sizes S–3X and 29 colors/patterns)
2. A colorblock one-piece swimsuit with the potential to match so many ridiculously cute accessories that your closet will be *delighted* to see it.
Psst — if you have Amazon Prime Wardrobe you can try this piece out before you buy 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).
3. A reviewer-beloved 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 $30.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and in 16 varieties).
4. A dainty peplum swim dress in a classic black so you can be like, "Practical swimwear, but make it WHIMSY."
Psst — some reviewers (particularly those with larger chests) recommend sizing up.
Promising review: "I just got this and I’m wearing it at the beach right now. It’s really cute and very comfortable. There’s no underwire but it’s well-constructed and supportive and keeps everything in place. I was just diving under waves without having to readjust every time I came up, and no worrying about anything popping out. The skirt part is a little longer than I expected, but I’m okay with that. It hits at my upper thigh. The straps can be switched so they’re not crisscrossed in the back. I’m really loving this suit. I wish it came in more colors, but I’m happy with the black. If you’re in between what size to get, it seems a bit smaller than I expected, so think about sizing up. It still fits fine, but I’m glad I went with the next size up." —Sharong72
Get it from Torrid for $79.60 (originally $99.50; available in sizes M–6X).
5. 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.
6. A quality high-cut one-piece perfect for pairing with all your high-waisted shorts and skirts even when you're *not* poolside.
Promising review: "I am OBSESSED with this bathing suit! What an amazing buy! It is so form fitting, amazing quality material, and great packaging. They even gave a complimentary pack of metallic tattoos. This is my second bathing suit from this company, and I want to get a few other colors now." —Diane
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 37 colors and patterns)
7. A customizable one-piece swimsuit you can get in three different styles — cheeky, medium, or full-coverage — so your butt can be like Goldilocks and get the fit that feels juuuuust right.
Andie is a small swimwear brand that specializes in well-fitted, modern swimsuits with "wear tests" from over 300,000 people.
Promising review: "High quality suit — good thickness and sleek fit. I preferred the full-coverage bottom as the medium coverage was too cheeky for me. It will be great for chasing my kids." —Becky I.
Get it from Andie Swim for $95 (available in sizes XS–XXXL, six fabrics, three colors, three bottom fit options, and two lengths).
8. A crisscrossing bikini perfect for getting the kind of chill beach Insta that your friends will near break their thumbs hitting the "like" button for.

Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in sizes XL–4XL and 13 styles).
9. A strapless bandeau set so effortlessly chic people will assume you're not just lounging on the beach, but waiting for your private yacht to dock.
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
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 35 styles).

11. 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: "I was leery of buying a swimsuit without being able to try it on first. However, I don't regret giving this swimsuit a chance. It is adorable and the fit is perfect! It's cute, comfortable, and affordable! I highly recommend and am even thinking of buying another swimsuit from Cocoship but in a different color." —kdw76
Get it from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in sizes 4–16 and in ten prints).
12. A ruched one-piece suit to offer some fun textures and popping colors to a reliable basic.
Promising review: "I am obsessed with this suit, the ruching cinched my body and made me look super snatched. I am 5’8” and am a 34DD and it totally worked for me! I just pulled the suit higher up on my hips, which I think is how it’s supposed to sit, and I had full coverage. I recommend sizing up if you want super full coverage though, but I like the straight-across silhouette! Love!" —taschaline
Get it from Free People for $144 (available in sizes XS–XL and five colors).
13. A V-neck ruffle one-piece with adjustable tie-straps at the back so you can get your perfect supportive fit. Plus it is basically fashion law that a cute lil' ruffle never goes out of style.
Promising review: "I am so impressed with the quality and fit, I just ordered three more in different patterns. I hope this review will help other tall girls find a one-piece suit!

Promising review: "I actually feel confident in this. Like WOW. I bought this on a whim because I really love the style, but I’ve always been way too scared to actually try something like it. This will make you look bomb whether you have all the curves or none of them." —Christino
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 18 colors and prints).
15. A velvet bikini so customizable that it'll be your go-to for ages to come — you can request the seller customize everything from the color to the amount of coverage to the cut to an unlisted size. The sky is your trendy, velvet limit.
StardustSwim is a California-based Etsy stop established in 2010 that specializes in rock 'n' roll swimwear.
Promising review: "Best. Fitting. Suit. Ever. This is the first suit in years that I have loved from the second I put it on. I am talking since puberty. I’m 31 and my whole life I’ve hated bathing suits, because a one-size/shape-fits-all concept is just mathematically and logically incorrect. This one I put on and wore for two days...around the house. Sexier than most of my lingerie and better fitting/more comfortable than my favorite jeans. I don’t know how or why, but I won’t question it." —Jenny Long
Get it from StardustSwim on Etsy for $89 (available in top sizes XS–XL and bottom sizes XS–XL or in a custom version).

Promising review: "I was soooo nervous about this swimsuit because it arrived the day BEFORE I was set to leave for vacation so if it didn't fit right I was in trouble so I was going off of previous reviews..and it fit PERFECTLY and I made head rolls and jaws drop 😂😄. The BEST swimsuit I've EVER purchased. Will be buying another one." —Chelsea Hammond
Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in sizes S–6X and 26 colors and patterns).

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

Promising review: "I never leave reviews, but this is by far the best swimsuit I have ever had. I have DD boobs and normally wear a size 8. I did what the other reviewers suggested and got a size down and it fits perfectly! Also with having large boobs and chasing a toddler around, I was worried about the boob area not being supportive enough but this is the ONLY swimsuit I have worn that completely supports my boobs. It also came with two sets of straps with two places to put them. Overall, this is a great, cute, sexy, and supportive one piece." —Hope Brown
Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in sizes 2–16 and in 11 colors).

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

I love the ruching on the front and it has full seat coverage too, which is important for me since I run around and bend a lot looking after my little ones. This is the best-fitting swimsuit I've purchased in a long time!" —Applejax

All in all, a great suit for the beach!" —Tlm
