13 swimsuits that embrace all the curves

Every body is a beach body

The popular narrative says that bodies have to be small to rock cute swimwear — and we're sick of it. We believe that every body is a beach body, so we've put together a list of the best swimsuits for curves and for larger bodies. 

We've rounded up some of the best size-inclusive swimwear including bikinis and stylish one-pieces. And the best thing is that they're designed to show off your curves, not hide them.

What to consider when buying a swimsuit

What you need to think about when choosing the best swimsuits for curves is much the same as when buying any swimsuit. There are factors to consider like style, color, and the eternal choice between a one-piece swimsuit and a bikini. However, there are some extra considerations when buying swimwear for larger bodies, such as secure straps and inclusive sizing. 

• One-piece vs. two-piece: Don't believe anyone who tells you that bikinis are only for people with smaller bodies — if you want to wear a two-piece swimsuit, there are plenty of great size-inclusive options. However, a one-piece might still be your preference, and that's fine too. Just opt for whatever you feel happiest in. 
• Style: You can find everything from simple, classic swimsuits to those with embellishments like buckles and belts. If your style veers toward the androgynous end of the spectrum, you can also find stylish gender-neutral swimwear.  
• Size: Frustratingly, many brands only carry straight sizes, so people with curves may need to look for brands that carry a more inclusive range of sizes. Some of the options on our list go up to a size 28 to 30. 
• Straps: For people with large chests, strapless options rarely stay put reliably. Instead, opt for swimsuits with secure straps. Thick straps are often more comfortable and less likely to dig in. 
• Color or print: You can find size-inclusive swimwear in basic hues, such as black and white, as well as in brighter colors and bold prints. Leopard print, polka dot and florals are some of the most common print options.

Eloquii Back Beading Detail One-Piece

This swimsuit looks simple at first glance, but it has some subtle details that take it to the next level, such as metal beading on the shoulder strap and a cut-out in the back. You can choose from sizes 14 to 28. It's fully lined with removable foam cups.  

Eloquii Seashell Clasp Belt One-Piece

The braided belt with its seashell clasp that comes with this swimsuit is a nice touch, especially since it matches the braiding on the shoulder straps. The V in the neckline is perfect for people who want to show off their curves.

Sovoyontee Two-Piece Bathing Suit

This bikini features high-waisted bottoms that are great for staying put and a top with a large statement ruffle. The straps are thick enough that they don't dig in and are adjustable, which helps keep them from slipping. Sizes go up to 4X-Large.

Yonique One-Piece Swimsuit

Although it's a fairly simple one-piece, this swimsuit has crossed back straps and an interesting cut-out at the chest that make it different from similar options. We appreciate the choice of 35 prints and sizes up to 30.
