by The Candidly Team
Yes, we know. “Every body is a bikini body!”
But not every suit is designed for an ample bottom, thick thighs, and a larger bosom.
But every single one of these 18 bathing suits? They are.
All flattering, all beautiful, all with a gorgeous fit that considered an actual human woman living inside them. No leg holes that are so tiny they cut into your hips giving you lumps you never had before. No straps that dig into your shoulders. No deep V’s that feel pornographic.
They’re all perfection. So just pick your favorite.
It will 100% look gorgeous on you.
1. Andie The Amalfi
Are you sitting down? We found a swimsuit that didn’t make us sad. It may have made us….happy. Yes. Happy. Because it’s so unbelievably flattering, it fit so well, was so comfortable, and actually covered our butts.
Are we slightly rhapsodic about this swimsuit? We are. Are we almost EXCITED to wear it with sarongs, shorts, maxi skirts, without constantly adjusting and readjusting and plucking it out of our bottoms? We are!
I mean, just look how the fit around the hip compares to a similar suit.

Price: $90 - $128
2. Summersalt The Sidestroke
You have never felt the perfect fit until you’ve tried this suit. And the one shoulder is so cute it’s almost upsetting.
Wear it with THIS sort of weird piece and one of THESE and you’ll look like you popped out of a fashion spread.
Annnnd they also have a long torso version HERE. Praise be.
Price: $95
3. TA3 Plungey Suit
This “shapewear” swimsuit can create an extreme hourglass on anyone—it has a secret in the back. And every single color is so gorgeous. It’ll be hard to pick only one.
Price: $178
4. J. Crew Ruched high-rise bikini bottom And French Bikini Top
Gloriously high-waisted and with the precise amount of coverage we feel comfortable in. It’s the bottom we’ve long been searching for to end all the tugging and adjusting. And the top is a classic plunge that sizes up to 3X. Kind of couldn’t ask for more.
Price: $20 - $60 for the bottoms, $20 - $60 for the top
5. Andie The Tulum Ribbed
If all you want in life is for a swimsuit to fully and entirely hold you in so that you can go be sporty and run on the beach, or, you know, simply “bend” without your bits falling out, this is that swimsuit.
Toss on a pair of THESE and one of THE most flattering shorts in existence and you’ll be ready for any/all outdoor activities.
Price: $112 - $128
6. Sovoyontee Women's Plus Size High Waisted Swimsuit
No words required, really. I mean look at it.
Price: $32
7. J. Crew
Ruched bandeau one-piece
The ruching on this suit is nothing short of genius, and ruching is maybe the most essential thing to chic, comfy, flattering swimwear especially constructed for curves. But unlike many suits that nail the top and torso then fail at the bottom, this one has incredible bum coverage, and the front doesn’t cut into your thighs in that obnoxious way so many suits do. Also, it comes in long torso and sizes up to 24. Just perfection all around.
Price: $20 - $118
8. Andie The Fiji One Piece
The back is just plain gorgeous, but the whole suit is stunningly complementary on curves.
Price: $112 - $128
9. Andie Valencia Top And The 90s High Waisted Bottom
A waist-nipping, high-rise bottom is as flattering as it is comfy to wear. Also, a scoop-neck bikini top is a very lovely choice for us busty ladies who want to keep it sexy but not have to be fiddling with the fit all day.
Price: $52 for the bottoms, $62 for the top
10. J. Crew Ruched V-neck one-piece
Another ruched gem from J. Crew but this time with supremely comfy straps and that deep V that looks stunning on curves.
Price: $20 - $118
11. TA3 Squarey Suit
The same shapewear concept as the supremely flattering suit mentioned above, but this one has a thicker strap and a perfect squareneck for those who fancy such things.
Price: $178
12. Andie Swim The Mykonos Ribbed
A ribbed swimsuit is a secret weapon for curves, and this white one (aptly named “The Mykonos”) will make you feel like you’re lying on a beach in Greece even when you’re wrangling screaming children at a kid’s pool party.
We’re picturing it with #6 on THIS list.
Price: $112 - $128
13. CUPSHE Women's High Waist Two Piece Bathing Suit
And here are two of life’s greatest inventions in one suit: high waisted bottoms, and bust smocking. Gorgeous on all body types, full stop.
Price: $33
14. Summersalt The Perfect Wrap One-Piece
A suit for those who don’t love a spaghetti strap. The wrap style feels so good around our middles, and the compression fabric keeps everything nice and smooth and beyond comfy to wear. It comes in many solid colors, but we’ve recently come to the conclusion that black and white together is the most foolproof way to look chic with zero effort.
Price: $95
15. J. Crew Matte ruffle one-shoulder one-piece swimsuit
This suit manages to have that supportive fit whilst showing that extra peak of skin on the side. It’s perfect for those of us who don’t want to lean all the way into strapless but who don’t want to feel completely covered in fabric either.
Price: $33 - $128
16. Shapellx Smart Sculpt Plunge Cutout Swimsuit
The genius that is ruching once again but this time from a beloved shapewear brand that incorporates some seriously smoothing tummy compression technology that still manages to be deeply comfy.
Price: $69
17. Andie The Malibu Flat
Almost reminds us of those sporty suits with stripes we wore as kids. Just much, much, much cuter now. And beyond comfortable.
Price: $67 - $128
18. Good American Always Fits Scoop Bikini Top And Bikini Brief
The bikini for those of us who don’t want to spend another second tugging strings and adjusting cups and worrying that some unwelcome part of our body is spilling out of some mysterious spot we can’t see because we’re busy enjoying ourselves at the damn beach. But all ranting aside, there are few things more flattering than this compressive material. This swim top covers beautifully, especially paired with the full coverage bottom.
Price: $69 for the top, $69 for the bottom
Bonus: Skims Sarong Skirt
We love this piece for BBQs and pool parties where we don’t necessarily want our entire half-naked body flapping around in front of our in-laws. And honestly, we can’t really conjure up an image that epitomizes beachside-chic as effortlessly as a sarong. This one comes in every color you could ever want and sizes up to 4X.
Price: $78
