The Best Swimsuits for All Body Types

Swimsuits in flattering fabrics and clever cuts that are suited for real bodies.

Find Your Best Swimsuit

If the results of an informal office poll are any indication, there are few things, when it comes to clothing, that give women more anxiety than the swimsuit: First, there’s the process of weeding through the multitudes of possibilities, and then there’s the actual wearing of it. Finding the right suit—one that’s designed for your figure—can go a long way toward quieting that anxiety. We’ve done the weeding to find a dozen suits meant to flatter women with different body types: those with large chests, those with a tummy they want to camouflage, those with full hips and thighs, and those with straighter shapes. So let the sun shine—we’ll see you on the beach.

Get tips on how to find the best swimsuit for your shape, including, for the full-figured, a dozen flattering plus-size bathing suits.
