You’ve got better things to do than try on bathing suits (in winter, no less)—which is why we keep updating this guide with the best swimwear brands worth shopping. We’re sharing swimsuits that Glamour editors have tried, tested, and found live up to the hype; ones with ample support, flattering designs, and size-inclusive options for all body types. Plus, they range in price, with picks from designer labels and more affordable options from Amazon that’ll ship in time for a last-minute getaway. We also kept 2025’s hottest swimwear trends in mind and found collections with one-shoulder silhouttes, edgy one-piece swimsuits with cutouts and hardware, and triangle bikini tops with bold prints.

We’re partial to Free People’s boho vibes (crochet bikinis, what), but you can also rely on the brand’s curation and in-house line, Free-est, to bring you key fashion trends, such as tropical bikinis and plunging one-pieces. Notably, Free People has doubled the number of sustainable styles in its collection since 2021. Recycled materials are found throughout its pieces, and the company donates unsold wholesale and direct-to-consumer items to nonprofits in order to divert waste from landfills. Our eyes are currently set on this Amber One-Piece with a deep V-neck, lace-back design that fits the suit across your bust, and that it comes in a ton of colors.

Glamour editor-favorites include Cupshe, Miraclesuit, and Wrewring.

Our favorite style: My favorite suit of the season comes from Amazon. I was shocked by the quality of this under-$35, ultra-trendy white bow suit that is totally opaque in the water, washes well, and doubles as a top. —Brie Schwartz, Glamour commerce director

Summersalt is size-inclusive and great for women who are looking for more coverage but want to avoid granny vibes (with all due respect to grannies). The brand is best known for its chic yet practical styles, including this classic black-and-white Perfect Wrap, which cinches at the waist. Each style offers tummy-control compression and runs from sizes 0 through 24 (notable for swimwear). Tankinis, sporty swim skirts, long-torso styles, high-waist bikini bottoms, and an array of beach cover-ups are all on worthwhile here too. Most pieces are available for under $100 and don’t compromise on quality.
Our favorite style: Glamour tester Katherine Howell-Kiser says she appreciates the Perfect Wrap suit’s no-fuss sewn-in cups that don’t shift or slip out in the wash. “I can also adjust the wrap and make it tighter for a more snatched look,” she says.

Its designs are reflective of the trends—one-shouldered, neutral-toned one-pieces and bold bikinis with hardware detailing are just some of the very in-the-moment styles we’re seeing on the company’s site. The other thing H&M has going for it? Affordability. Its suits are almost all under $40—a steal.

This Kate Middleton–favorite brand has an extensive selection of perfect-fit options, many of which are good for active women (like moms) looking for a little extra coverage without sacrificing cuteness. Many of the brand’s one-pieces come with custom cup sizes, which is ideal for the gals with larger busts. Boden is also stocked with styles for both long and short torsos, and plenty of plus-size options.
Our favorite style: This is my all-time favorite bathing suit, and my only regret is that I only discovered it at 40. It took decades to find a one-piece that could give me the same support, lift, and shape as a swim top or a bra, so once I found Boden, which offers one-pieces with specific cup sizes (very rare!) I never looked back. —B.S. on her Boden Rhodes Underwire Suit

Andie Swim created a Style Quiz quiz (gathering data from wear tests on thousands of women) to ensure your suit is right in line with your personal preferences, so you won’t be met with any unwelcome surprises when your package arrives. Shoppers approve of Andie Swim for offering long-torso swimsuits, more modest swimwear options, and support for when you’re bouncing around on the beach.
Our favorite styles: Glamour contributor Gina Marinelli is a fan of Andie’s Tulum swimsuit. “I spent a few extra minutes sitting around in this swimsuit just because the ribbed material is so comfortable,” she says. Another great pick? The Malibu suit. “It comes in a long-torso version, the snaps are adjustable so you can choose to show more or less cleavage, and it looks like a tank top when you wear it with a skirt, pants, or shorts,” says Glamour’s Howell-Kiser.

We’re particularly enamored with their one-piece styles like this V-neck one-piece and leopard print strapless pick that are the ultimate blend of fashionable and perennial.
Our favorite style: I’ve worn this ruched V-neck in classic black for over five years and get compliments on it all the time. Its plunging cut draws attention to my smaller chest, which I like, and its ruching is loose and comfy against my midsection. I especially appreciate that its fabric has UPF 50 sun protection woven in! I actually wear the suit year-round as a bodysuit under skirts and pants. —Malia Griggs, Glamour commerce editor

Best Designer Swimwear Brand: Agua by Agua Bendita
Why we love it: Gorgeous patterns; made of recycled materials; handmadeWhat could improve: Pricey; limited sizingPrice range: $$$–$$$$ | Return policy: All items must be returned in the original packaging, unused, unstained, unwashed, and with all tags within 30 days for a full refund; no exchanges. | Sizes: XS–XL
There’s nothing minimalist about Agua by Agua Bendita. Its designs don’t shy away from bright colors or unique prints—in fact, that’s the reason so many celebs (like Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner) and influencers have gravitated to the brand for both beachwear and wedding guest attire. Adding to its appeal? Each piece is handmade by artisans in Colombia, and the luxury brand produces only three collections per year in order to reduce its environmental impact.

Good American has sizing down when it comes to denim, and we’re happy to report that they have nailed it in the plus-size swimsuit department too. To ensure that everyone gets to feel confident and sexy at the beach, GA’s swimwear is designed to fluctuate with the natural changes in your body—like swelled breasts and bloating. Good American also has maternity swimwear styles for pregnant people (and postpartum).

Best for Teens (and Adults, Too): Aerie
Why we love it: Affordable; comfortable; sustainability initiativesWhat could improve: Not a ton of tummy controlPrice range: $–$$ | Return policy: Returns with proof of purchase are eligible for a full refund | Sizes: XS–XXL
You probably know Aerie (from American Eagle) as your one-stop shop for comfortable underwear and bras, but have you gotten into its swim section yet? It might be known as a teen brand, but adults enjoy and rave about it too (us included). In addition to being on the more affordable side, the brand makes sure to promote body positivity through its non-edited campaigns and plus-sizing options. There’s a swimsuit for every kind of spring and summer aesthetic, whether you prefer offbeat prints, bold neon, or showing off skin. Our current favorites include this floral string bikini top and bubble gum-pink one-piece with a structured underwire bust (which is great for gals with smaller chests).
Our favorite style: I wore a green crinkled one-piece from Aerie on a cruise and liked the coverage and fit. It’s slightly cheeky and I love the lower back exposure. My stomach doesn’t feel too sucked in, which I prefer over super-compressive fits. —Jenifer Calle, Glamour senior commerce editor

All your swimsuit questions, answered
How to shop for a swimsuit
Start by checking the swimsuit’s fabric. Opt for supportive, durable materials such as polyester, spandex, or nylon, which can withstand multiple wears and washes without breaking down or stretching out. These synthetics can hold up to chlorine and are more likely to keep their color and shape than natural picks like cotton. Some swimsuits also double as UPF clothing, which (along with your handy body sunscreen) can help protect your skin from the sun’s rays.
How to wash a bathing suit
Always check the label for any specific washing and drying instructions. If you’re handwashing, rinse your suit in cold water immediately after use to remove chlorine, salt, and oils. Then fill a sink with cool water, add a small amount of mild detergent, and let the bathing suit soak for up to 30 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with cool water to remove all soap residue. Gently squeeze out excess water (no wringing or twisting), and lay the bathing suit flat on a clean towel. Roll the towel up with the bathing suit inside to gently press out more water, then lay it flat to air-dry, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
How to find your swimsuit size
Start by measuring the fullest part of your bust, the narrowest part of your waist, and the widest part of your hips. Once you have those measurements, consult the size chart provided by the bathing suit brand. Remember, it’s not just about the numbers; consider the style and cut of each suit as well. Some designs run smaller or larger, so it’s important to think about how you want the bathing suit to fit—snug for support, or a bit looser for comfort? Many bathing suits also come with adjustable features such as straps or ties, allowing for a more personalized fit.
What’s the best type of bathing suit for you?
The right bathing suit depends on your personal style and the activities you have planned. For swimming or boating, look for styles with good support and secure fastenings (nobody wants to lose their top while they’re tubing). For simply lounging by the pool or at the beach, a more relaxed fit with less coverage can work.
One-piece: Provides moderate coverage and support, usually in a simple pull-on style. One-pieces are also available in bra sizes from some retailers.Bikini: Composed of a separate top and bottoms, bikinis come in an array of different styles including triangle top, halter, bandeau, side-tie bottoms, full briefs, Brazilian tangas, and more.Tankini: As a tank top combined with separate bottoms, a tankini offers more coverage than a classic bikini top.High-waist bottom: These are vintage-inspired bottoms that offer extra tummy control and support.Swim dresses: A one-piece with an attached skirt, providing additional coverage around the hips and thighs.Rash guard: A long- or- short-sleeve UV-protective athletic shirt, ideal for water sports and protection from the sun.
