When it comes to buying swimwear, some key factors to keep in mind are fabric, silhouette, price and style. We also look for pieces that can be worn over and over again, like true investments.
So many swimwear brands now have a wide range of sizes to suit everybody. But for many, that doesn’t make the search any easier. For those with curves, specifically, we’ve done the research for you and uncovered a few chic sets that will help you narrow it down, whether you’re into one-pieces, strapless sets, or printed options.
Kick your winter blues and get prepped for summer with these flattering picks, perfect for curvy bodies.
Quinn Top and Bottoms
This set by TJ Swim includes halter-neck Quinn Top ($59.99) and high-waisted, high-cut Quinn Bottoms ($89.99). Both pieces are made from a textured material, come in five other colours and go up to size XL.
The Bermuda Bikini
The Bermuda Top ($105) and Bikini Bottom ($85) from Mindy Kaling’s just-launched collaboration with Andie Swim sizes up to XXXL. And the best part, aside from the four cute colours, is the underwired full bust support. You can swim, run and bask in the sun knowing that your boobs are secured.
High Leg Rib Swimsuit
Channel big Baywatch energy with the High Leg Rib Swimsuit ($39.99) from H&M.
Heat Map High Waisted Bikini
From the mesmerising colourway to the flattering cut of the Heat Map Bikini Top ($42) & High Waisted Bottoms ($38), this set is sure to turn heads as you strut by the beach or poolside.
Candy Coastline Set
From the makers of Moana Smile Club activewear, Moana Bikini’s range of funky designs are the perfect pop of colour for a summer day. Our fave is the Candy Coastline Set ($160). It’s cheeky, flattering and proudly shows off your curves.
Cupshe Cheeky Cross-Back One Piece
A classic black one-piece is a no-brainer that you can throw into your closet for the first day of summer. This Cupshe Swimsuit ($49.95) is sexy and supportive with medium coverage across the front and back.
Vera One Piece
Featuring a chunky gold ring accent and sparkly shimmer fabric, shine like the sun in this Vera One Piece ($170). The high let cutouts snatch your waist in for a sultry silhouette.
Sunday Girl Saint Somebody
Saint Somebody offers sizes from 12-24 and we are absolutely in love with all of their colourful and flattering designs. The Sunday Girl One Piece‘s ($260) halter neckline and colour reminds us of Kate Hudson’s iconic dress from “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days”.
Sculpt Extra High Waisted Bikini
Love wearing bikinis but want the coverage of a one piece? The Sculpt Black Extra High Waisted Swim Pant ($69.95) & Black Fuseli Bikini Top ($114.95) from Artesands might be what you’re looking for. The bottoms feature side panels for contouring and the front zipped top gives extra support up top.
Sasha Bikini
One of our favourites — Princess Polly — came out with plus sized swimwear a few summers ago and we’re digging it. It might not cover too much down south but you can bare it all in style with the Sasha Bikini Top ($45) & Bottoms ($35) from Princess Polly.
