The 66 Best Swimsuits for Women to Shop This Summer

Summer is finally here, which means you’ve hopefully busted out your sundresses and shorts. If a bathing suit still eludes you, however, we’ve sifted through the best swimsuits for women to curate a list for you—so you can spend less time shopping and more time in the sun (paired with SPF and a UPF cover-up, of course).

Whether you’re on the hunt for a flirty string bikini, high-waisted bottoms, color-blocked one-piece suit with a plunging V-neck, or long-sleeve tankini, there’s something for you. When it comes to choosing the right swimsuit, we advise taking into account style (be it a cutout one-piece, minimalist monokini, halter bikini, shoulder-baring bandeau), situation (beach, poolside lounging, water sports), and sizing. Some of the best swimsuit brands offer plus-sized swimsuits (with swimwear for big busts and postpartum bodies) and in-depth guides and quizzes that help you find the perfect fit.

From retro to ruched suits, below we’ve broken down the best swimsuits for women by alphabetical swimwear brand, including affordable, size-inclusive, and sustainable options. With swimsuits from brands and retailers such as Summersalt, Solid & Striped, Aerie, J.Crew, Girlfriend Collective, Madewell, Nordstrom, Amazon, and Target, you’re sure to find something beyond suitable.

Abercrombie & Fitch

You may know Abercrombie & Fitch best from grade-school days gone by (and Netflix documentaries), but with the resurgence of ’90s and 2000s fashion vibes, the retailer is back in style—especially in the swimsuit department. From square-neck terry bralettes to criss-cross halter one-pieces, A&F has a wide range of flirty swim silhouettes for the financially conscious (plus a ishonest reader favorite for swimsuits for bigger busts). And if you need that suit stat, order at least four hours before your local store closes and receive same-day delivery for $10 extra.

Available in sizes XXS to XL.

Aerie

If you’re already a fan of Aerie’s super cute, affordable, and comfy bras (as many of our readers are), you’ll be pleased to know that the brand carries swimwear too. There’s a little something for almost everyone, including funkily patterned one-pieces with pretty tie fronts, neon bikini tops with scalloped edges, retro beaded bandeaus, high-cut bikini bottoms, and much more. Plus, shipping is free if you spend over $75 (or $7 otherwise).

Available in sizes XS to XXL; one-piece swimsuits are also available in long sizing.

Aerie

Amazon

Need a cute, cheap suit that delivers quickly for an impromptu beach trip? Amazon heard your call with its fast shipping (especially if you’re a Prime member). Be it a sexy string bikini, swim shorts, or monokini, you can find some of the best swimsuits on Amazon in pretty much any style, shape, or size that your hot-weather heart desires.

Available sizes depend on product and seller.

Amazon

Andie

Andie is best known for just how simple it makes shopping for swimwear thanks to its comprehensive fit guide and fit quiz, which hone in on how much support and coverage you need based on data gathered from over 300,000 women. You can even schedule a 30-minute fit consultation with its experts to find the best swimsuit for your body type and lifestyle. The brand offers high-quality one-pieces of different styles (including long torso styles) and two-piece suits of varying colors and patterns.

Available in sizes XS to XXXL (2 to 22).

Cuup

Known for its wide range of sizing in bras and underwear, Cuup applies the same styles to its line of minimal bikini separates. Like its bras, the balconette, plunge, and scoop-neck bikini tops are designed with lightweight flex wire that doesn’t dig into the skin the way underwire often does—while remaining supportive enough for hours of lounging. Bottoms come in straightforward bikini, brief, and high-waist bikini cuts, as well as a high-rise, vintage-inspired cut called the Tap. All swimwear is created using Econyl, a regenerated nylon fiber made from recycled fishing nets from the ocean, discarded carpet, and pre- and post-consumer waste.

Tops are available in sizes 30A to 38H; bottoms are available in sizes 1/XS to 7/XXXL.

Everlane

If you already shop at Everlane for high-quality workwear, basics, and transparent pricing, consider adding its swimwear to your cart. You’ll find eco- friendly, sleek one-pieces and mix-and-matchable bikinis in jewel tones and subtle floral prints with varying necklines and cuts. Between us, almost all of it these pieces are versatile enough to be worn in your everyday life too (looking at you, V-neck swimsuit).

Available in sizes XXS to XXL.

Girlfriend Collective

Activewear, athleisure, and swimwear brand Girlfriend Collective earns high praise from ishonest editors and readers because it embodies many qualities that we support—chiefly, sustainability and accessible sizing. The brand’s bold, bright one-pieces and bikini separates are made of 78% Econyl, spandex, and are UPF 50+ for added sun protection. Setting it apart from many brands, Girlfriend Collective sizing runs up to 6XL across the board. Owing to the brand’s efforts to limit CO2 emissions, shipping is a bit slower than some competitors (7 to 10 business days, roughly), but we think its swimsuits are worth the wait.

Available in sizes XXS to 6XL.

Girlfriend Collective

J.Crew

Looking for swimsuits for the whole family? J.Crew swim collection’s got you covered with an assortment of vibrant colors and classic silhouettes for women, men, and kids.

Tops are available in sizes 2 to 14 (with varying cup sizes); bottoms are available in sizes 0 to 14.

Madewell

Beyond floral frocks and denim staples, turn to Madewell for pretty, printed swimwear from its in-house brand, Second Wave, or from one of its many collaborations with smaller brands like Ookioh and Jade Swim. We love Madewell’s lightweight linen cover-ups too.

Available in sizes XXS to XXL.

Available sizes depend on product and brand.
