Swimsuits. The mere word evokes either fear or excitement in your heart, depending on just how confident you are. But if you have an ocean, lake, or pool in your vacation future, you're going to need one (unless you're headed to a more risqué destination). Here are some of this season's best swimsuits for every type of body to help you find something that will flatter you, whether you're more of a lounger or a hardcore adventurer.
Adore Me is a subscription-based clothing brand with most swimsuit styles available for less than $30. They offer a variety of sizes in every style imaginable, from one pieces with interesting cutouts to high-rise floral bikinis.
Sometimes a simple one-piece is all you need to double as your stylish and active swimsuit. Seafolly’s Active Deep-V Maillot One-Piece features sturdy support straps, removable cups, and simple cutout details in the front and back that make it a unique active option. It’s a little pricier, but worth the splurge since you’ll be able to wear it everywhere.
Long-sleeve rash guards are a must-have for hours of swimming in the strong tropical sun. Invest in a long-sleeve swim top like Body Glove's Smoothies Sleek Rashguard. This breathable shirt keeps you cool in the water, and the UPF 50 protection means you don't have to worry about trying to reapply sunscreen on your back every few hours.
The Rashguards come in a wide range of colors, all of which can be paired with Body Glove's Smoothies Swimsuits line. Choose from a huge variety of cuts and styles to create your perfect beach vacation outfit.
Want activewear that can double as swimwear? Men can rely on board shorts, and for women, some active swimsuits will do the trick. AdoreShe's Racerback Tankini is essentially a water-friendly active top, and UV SKINZ's Active Swim Shorts are perfect for hikes or bike trips that turn into kayaking or swimming stops.
prAna’s line of swimwear includes shorts, rash guards, cover-ups, and bathing suits (that even fit up to DD-cup coverage) for women, as well as select men’s swim trunks.
Fair Harbor is a stylish and sustainably produced swimsuit brand that makes styles for women and men, as well as T-shirts, hats, and bags.
SummerSalt’s swimsuits are made of recycled material and have UPF 50+ protection. The brand makes stylish swimsuits for women and kids in a variety of trendy styles and bright colors.
The appropriately named website Swimsuits for All offers bikinis, one-pieces, swim dresses, and more for sizes 8 to 34.
