Can you feel it? Summer is coming! It means piña coladas on the beach, late nights watching the sunset, and vacations by the sea. It also means it’s time to go shopping for a new bathing suit. While this time of the year is exciting for some, it can be a nightmare for others, which is why we’ve decided to do some work for you!
Over the past few years, one-piece swimsuits have made a comeback and they’re not going anywhere. Not only are there plenty of them in so many styles, but they’re also so fashionable and can be more comfortable.
We’ve tried on some (many) of the most popular brands, and here are the ones that caught our attention.
This company is Indybest’s favorite overall - and this one-piece swimsuit is simply delicious to look at. Vitamin A’s slogan is “sustainability is sexy”, and it couldn’t be more true with the Demi bodysuit. If you want all eyes to be on you, this one is definitely worth a try while tanning on the beach!
Whether you’re a surfer or a swimmer, this bathing suit is perfect for any women who wants to lie on the beach or play sports on the sand - all while looking fashionable. The colors of this bathing suit are just perfect, the style is unique, and the price reasonable for what the company offers. This company is also environmentally-friendly, as it is made of recycled material.
If you are the type of buyer who wants a safe product, and does not necessarily want to get a new bathing suit every year, Acque is the perfect option. Its one-pieces are colorful, simple, but also sexy, with the zipper in the middle of it that allows you to adjust the apparel the way you want it. The Spanish company was founded on the basis of positive vibes, good fun and happiness, and that’s exactly what these bathing suits provide, while also being comfortable and supportive.
Resistant but stretchy, simple but beautiful. This bathing suit is perfectly comfortable for swimming or tanning. Overall, we recommend this one-piece bathing suit for its comfort, quality confection, and, of course, nice sewing.
Close your eyes. Imagine you are on a beach in Australia, listening to the waves. Well, if there was one perfect bathing suit for this situation, you were probably wearing Ephemera’s Liberty Laced Back One-piece. We just cannot take our eyes off this beautiful floral pattern, and the elegance and simpleness of the style and material make this bathing suit perfect for the women who want to be chic and fashionable, the Australian way.
With this one-piece bathing suit, all you need to add is one big red hat, one nice pair of sandals and some flashy sunglasses, and you’ve got the best summer look around. The support of this bathing suit is strong - it fits sizes up to G, and women with smaller breasts will also like this bathing suit. It is comfortable both to relax or do physical activities, and the retro look is appealing.
Flagpole is one of our favorites for women with a bigger budget. The Lynn collection is a perfect combination of colors and style. This bathing suit is the result of a collaboration with Oscar de la Renta, and you’ll just fall in love with it as soon as you try it out. Definitely worth splurging if you have some money to spend.
The Verdict: Best one-piece swimsuits
For the environmentally conscious buyers, Vitamin A is definitely a brand to discover or rediscover, and our overall favorite. The active women will for sure like Roxy - a classic brand for sporty women. Finally, women with bigger breasts have lots of options with Figleaves. Now, go shopping before the suns gets here!
