1. A scallop bathing suit so you can enjoy the tummy-baring look of a two-piece while also taking advantage of the support a one-piece gives you.
Promising review: "I loved this swimsuit! It was very comfortable and fit true to size. I wore it all day, and it was very comfortable." —Danielle McCray
Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and five colors; this plus-size version is a great alternative if you have a larger chest).
2. A stunning ruffle V-neck one-piece if you're still on the hunt for this season's swimsuit. I'll be taking all meetings poolside in this bathing suit. Sorry not sorry!
Promising review: "This swimsuit is sexy, comfortable, and affordable. Love it. Would give it 10 stars. Bought it in red and olive." —Holly
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 18 colors; this is a super-cute plus-size option as well).
3. A cinched bralette top to help solve a clothing conundrum for folks who need both larger cups but smaller band sizes.
4. A two-piece with the most darling ruffle sleeves that'll double as a going-out top.
Promising review: "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
Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 22 styles).
5. A strappy high-waisted bikini because it's anything but basic — just like you. Reviewers rave about the adjustable straps, which allow you to customize the ideal level of support for your chest.
Promising review: "We decided last minute to go to the beach this weekend, so I had to buy a swim suit for the first time in three years after having my daughter. I originally wanted the black one, but instead I took a chance on the hot pink. Holy moly, I love it, y’all! The top was perfect, giving me support while still letting this almost-30-year-old feel super hot and trendy for the first time in ages! Really read the reviews and size guide so you can find your perfect fit! I’m so happy I’m ordering all the colors and buying season passes to a water park!" —Molly
Get it from Amazon for $30.95+ (available in sizes M–3XL Plus and eight colors).
6. A swim dress for twirling around in on vacation, at the beach, in the pool, or on a date. Heck, you'll probably catch me wearing this dress just around the house because it's already warm enough that I have to turn on the AC.
7. A cheeky fit crossover bikini bottom so cute even the staunchest supporter of one-piece bathing suits would ~cross over~ to the dark side.
Promising review: "I am super self-conscious and always dread bathing suit season. I saw these on TikTok and knew I had to try them. I ordered them in several colors along with some cute matching tops. When I tried them on, I was stunned!! I looked amazing!! I feel so confident in these." —Amanda
Get it from Aerie for $20 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and 10 colors).
8. A cut-out one-piece with a strappy back if you're looking to be voted Best Dressed on the beach.
9. A ruched bandeau top and high-waisted bottom bikini to prove comfort and style are not mutually exclusive.
Promising review: "Talk about the best bathing suit ever!! I normally don't purchase bathing suits online, but this one is perfect. I followed the sizing guidelines, and it fits so true to size!! I love the adjustable straps as well. I'm top heavy and was nervous about a top not holding me up well, but this is one of the very few that has done the job. I will definitely be buying another one." —Erica Faircloth
Get it from Amazon for $25.36+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 18 prints/colors).
10. A crisscross bikini wrap top that'll have you (and your wallet) ~wrapped~ around its metaphorical finger — that's how much you'll wanna smash the buy button and wait eagerly for your mail to be delivered.
Get it from Lulus for $34 (available in sizes XS–XL).
11. A high-waisted and tasseled two-piece bathing suit because you still regret not buying it last year. Well, now's your chance!
Promising review: "This is much better quality than I had thought it would be. I had almost purchased the designer suit to ensure a good fit, but I’m glad I opted to try this one first! It does run a little small to me. The top waist part is a little tight but not uncomfortable at all. Would definitely recommend!" —Elyse Taylor
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes 4–16 and in 16 colors).
12. A long-sleeve rash guard top and high-waist bottom set because you plan to spend some significant time in the sun and want to be protected.
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 six styles).
13. A two-piece, high-waisted, high-cut swimsuit so deceptively cute and comfy that you probably won't wear any of the other bathing suits you brought.
Promising review: "This suit is so cute. I ordered a large based on the reviews, and it fits perfectly. The bottoms hit me in all the right places, and the whole suit is so comfy. It’s thick and feels more expensive than it really is. The top is small for me, which I expected — the girls are a little squished, but I’m going to rock it." —Grace Troutman
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 20 colors).
14. A pair of boy shorts if you don't want to spend the day trying to sneakily pick your wedgie.
Reviewers say they run small, so size up!
Promising review: "The best swim shorts I could find by far. It has coverage. I used them for an entire week on a surfing trip, and I’m purchasing every color I can now. A bit small, yes, but worth literally every penny." —beeni
Get it from Urban Outfitters for $39+ (available in sizes S–XL and eight colors).
15. A tropical-print high-waisted ruffled bikini to wear while you sip frozen margaritas on a beach somewhere. Can I join you?
Promising review: "LOVE LOVE THIS BATHING SUIT. It’s so comfortable, so soft, so cute. The straps are adjustable, so that’s great. The bottoms are enough cheek, but not too much where it’s uncomfortable. I got so many compliments on it. It's my new go-to bathing suit, replacing my all-black two-piece that I’ve had for five years. I wish this came in more color options, because I would soooo buy more!" —SelenaSupry
Get it from Amazon for $36.99 (available in sizes XL–4XL).
16. A lace one-piece with a plunging neckline that'll make a splash.
Promising review: "I was on a family vacay so was looking for something cute, sexy, but still not over the top since there were kids around. :-) Comfy and good support. This particular style had good cheek coverage. The plunge is what kept it sexy." —MyLSD
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 24 colors).
17. A three-piece triangle bikini set because it's a classic bathing suit shape — and it comes with a matching skirt!
18. A sleek one-shoulder bikini top for minimalists who still want an interesting suit.
Get it from Madewell for $90 (available in sizes XS–XL; these are the matching bottoms).
19. A ruffle tankini with matching boy shorts so you can feel supported no matter what water activities you choose. (My pick would be chugging piña coladas and tacos poolside.)
20. A backless retro-inspired suit if you're ready to turn the beach into your very own runway. Time to practice model walk!
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. I have a size 38 HH (UK)/38 N (US) bra. Now, with that being said, a natural HH/N cup is NOT typical, so 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 $28.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and in 16 varieties).
21. A crochet-lace swimsuit to style however you'd like! It can be worn strapless, normally, or with cross-back straps.
Promising review: "LOVE this swimsuit. Great coverage on the behind area and nice support for the girls. I received many compliments — even by bikini wearers. I wore this to the beaches of Hawaii, and it stayed on perfectly with the strong waves and snorkeling underwater. Great buy and a great price." —C. Welty
Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in sizes 2–16 and in 11 colors).
22. A high-waisted V-neck bikini with crisscross mesh side panels that'll be the first swimsuit you grab basically every time. You might as well buy it in a few colors.
Promising review: "The fit of this suit is amazing. If you are nervous as a plus-sizer, this bikini will lift your self-esteem. The top has nice supportive straps. The best part is the bottoms, which is always tough to fit when you are plus-size. The bottoms fit great with great tummy control. They also have nice elastic in legs and waist that does not cut off your circulation or ride up. This is a definite win!" —Kory
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes 12 Plus–24 Plus and 13 colors).
23. A faux wrap one-piece bathing suit because it's undeniably chic. But I must warn you: Be prepared to say "thank you" approximately nonstop whenever you wear it, because you're going to be bombarded with compliments.
Promising review: "Love this suit!! The color is beautiful, and the fit is great — a little cheeky but I like it. I love the higher-cut sides. It's got more coverage on your back. Low cut in front but not everything is hanging out, and everything was contained nice and snug." —CynthiaDM77
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 16 colors and in a monochrome version).
24. A ribbed one-piece with a midriff cutout for anyone who doesn't mind funky tan lines. You're gonna get so many good snaps for Insta that any potential tan lines are totally worth it!
25. A scalloped edge one-strap bikini so cute you'll feel a little ~shell-fish~ about not wanting to tell anyone where you got it, so there's never a chance that you show up to a pool party and your BFF is wearing it too.
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 $22.66+ (available in sizes S–XL and in seven colors).
26. A totally glam two-piece if you're looking for a bathing suit that's total compliment bait — and a total steal and under $30.
Promising review: "I love this swimsuit! I have a very muscular frame, a big booty, and I do not have big boobs at all. The bottoms fit great and come up high enough. The top is super cute. This is the closest I've come to a bikini in 15 years. Since having kids I've gone for the tankini look, but this looks great on me! Something I never thought I'd say about a swimsuit." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 15 colors).
27. A ruffled detailed faux wrap one-piece to make you call your mom, best friend, college roommate, and childhood neighbor so you can tell them about how cute your new suit is.
Promising review: "I am very curvy and have a hard time finding swimsuits that fit me well. This swimsuit was incredibly comfy and super cute. I'm also obsessed with the mustard yellow color. I would highly recommend." —Melissa Younger
Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in seven colors).
