Top 10 One-Piece Swimsuits

WHY IT MADE THE LIST: With a low-cut back and a playful ruffle trim, this flattering one-piece swimsuit was made for splashing around in some waves—or sipping a piña colada on a lounge chair. And the nylon-spandex blend it’s made from means the chances of chafing or uncomfortable digging are low.

USER REVIEW: “Super cute! I'm a new mom and feel like I needed a more mom swimsuit. This is perfect. It's cut low in the front, but not too low. And the ruffles make it feminine.”

WHY IT MADE THE LIST: This one-piece offers ample coverage thanks to its high back and lowrider-style bottom, but you can’t deny the sex appeal the plunging neckline adds. Plus, the ruching on the bodice makes it a candidate for best one-piece swimsuit for tummy control.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS: One thing to know about J. Crew: they don’t shy away from bold colors (like the radiant fuchsia and blue mist shades this one-piece comes in). We’re thankful for that, especially because swimwear is a great canvas for experimenting with colors and patterns you wouldn’t usually wear. 

WHY IT MADE THE LIST: There’s no question about it: the Mykonos one-piece is stunning with its deep V-neck cut in the front and back. But even more impressive is how many options they give you to tailor it to your preferences—you can choose the fabric type, length, and bottom coverage in addition to the color and size.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS: Andie doesn’t want you to settle for wedgies or cup gaps, so in order to make sure you get the right size the first time, they have an entire page on their website dedicated to their fit guide, complete with a 12-question quiz that will recommend a style and size.

WHY IT MADE THE LIST: Remember how in The Sisterhood of The Traveling Pants four women with different body types all looked fantastic in the same pair of pants? This swimsuit is the real-life version of those pants (except you do need to order the right size). What we’re trying to say is that the classic silhouette of this one-piece swimsuit flatters any and all body types.

USER REVIEW: “This suit fits beautifully. It is flattering, sexy thanks to the high-leg cut, and covers the bust area attractively. The color is a jewel-toned green, which is striking. I'm going on a cruise next week and am positive I won't see another suit that color. How often do you find an attractive suit that you are comfortable wearing around your kids and grandkids? I'm completely thrilled with this suit.”

WHY IT MADE THE LIST
Finding a flattering strapless one-piece swimsuit feels like stumbling into a unicorn—you mean to tell us these actually exist? Yes, they exist, and J.Crew’s might be your next most-treasured possession, especially considering it’s available in 10 stunning colors and an extra long version for those with tall torsos. 

USER REVIEW
“I love this suit. I have four of them—black, navy, cobalt, and red. It's classy and slimming and so comfortable while carrying kids at the pool or beach. Great quality and design. Highly recommend for moms who are up and down and in the water and holding kids and not able to lay perfectly on a beach chair!”

WHY IT MADE THE LIST: Don’t get us wrong—we love our solid-color suits. But it is nice to see some fun, patterned options show up in our list. The Marina one-piece is meant to turn some heads; Not only is it available in several color-block patterns, but it also has a built-in shelf bra for extra support and a compression-style bodice that smooths everything over.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS: FYI: the Marina swimsuit is also available in a long torso version that has an extra 1.75 inches added to the length.

WHY IT MADE THE LIST: Aerie is known for designing swim and loungewear that’s both comfortable and flattering (a combination we’re always in search of). This one-piece swimsuit features a flirty cut-out on the midsection that creates the illusion of wearing a bikini, all while providing the coverage of a full one-piece.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS: Adjustable straps and removable bra padding earn this one-piece an A in our book for being highly modifiable.

WHY IT MADE THE LIST: Nearly 13,000 people have given this swimsuit a five-star review, which means it has to be one of the best one-piece swimsuits on Amazon. That and the price point are enough to get our attention, but it also helps that it’s insanely cute and comes in 44 (!) different varieties.

USER REVIEW: “Ladies, buy this suit! I have the hardest time finding one-pieces because of my long torso. I sized up to make sure it wouldn't be too short in the torso, and it fits perfectly. The ruching is really flattering and helps hide my "mummy tummy." The cobalt blue color is so pretty; really bold and classy combined with the ruffle and one shoulder. I'll be getting this in more colors!”

WHY IT MADE THE LIST: Cupshe has gained notoriety in the last few years for designing swimwear that flatters the feminine form in all of its different varieties. This one-piece swimsuit is one of the best examples of that, with ruching for tummy control, a plunging neckline, and a peekaboo cutout in the back.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS: In true Amazon fashion, this swimsuit comes in 20 different colors and patterns to choose from, as well as sizes from XS to XXL.

WHY IT MADE THE LIST: Most of us have had that moment of looking at ourselves in a swimsuit and wondering whether we should just put on our sweatpants and stay inside all summer. Do not listen to your inner monologue, though, because there is a shortcut to feeling like the hottest person poolside, and it’s The Sidestroke swimsuit in all its curve-hugging glory.

USER REVIEW: “The Sidestroke is a unicorn, diamond-in-the-rough bathing suit. It’s very true to size. Makes you look like a beautiful, snatched sun goddess. I highly recommend this suite. Nice compression and the one-shoulder adds a nice little touch.”
