They give a sense of comfort, security, nipping and tucking in the right places.
The swimsuit style has been a mainstay in beach repertoires for years, and with seemingly everyone looking to step out for a statement summer or perhaps beach time, stylish designs are emerging more than ever. High-waist swimsuits are in trend, and they’re known for their fits that flatter the curves of a woman’s body. You might already own a classic one-piece, but why not add a high-waisted bathing suit?

From vibrant-colored two-pieces to patterned sets, we’ve compiled some stylish swimsuits to improve your vacation wardrobe. Have a look and don’t hesitate to buy them.

The Two Pieces Scalloped Trim One Shoulder Bikini.
Review: “First of all, I never write reviews, but this suit is beyond amazing, so I felt like I needed to share! I hate swimsuits, hate shopping for them, and especially hate putting them on. This is by far the most comfortable and adorable suit I have ever put on. I am in love! I sized up, and it fits perfectly! I am a mom of three little ones, so I am constantly running around in a suit, and this stays put, and, as I mentioned before, it is so comfortable. I want it in all the colors now!!!” —Michael A. Byrd. Get it from Amazon for $27.66+ (available in sizes S–XL and seven colors).
The Ladder Cutout Bikini.
Review: “I’m so happy with this purchase! It’s so hard to find good quality bathing suits in bigger sizes, and this one is so cute. I was really nervous about the top because I’m a DDD cup. Most bathing suit tops even in plus sizes are too small for me. I’m happy to report that this top fit very well. It has pretty decent support and the straps are adjustable as well. I would love to order other colors now that I know it fits so well.” —SofiaCarolina85. Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes M–4XL and 16 styles/colors).
The Malibu Top And Bottom Set.
Night Dive is a woman-owned small business with a fantastic assortment of swimwear pieces that support body positivity and are also sustainable. I ordered this bathing suit a few months ago, and it has quickly become my most-grabbed-for swimsuit. I love the color and cut of the top and bottoms. I’m a huge fan of the V-shaped bottoms, AND these aren’t “cheeky” bottoms, so you don’t have to worry about your bum hanging out. I love where they hit my on waist, and there’s nothing I adore more than a long-length bathing suit top. It gives incredible support and makes me wanna order both in more colors.
Review: “This top is durable and holds my chest. I ordered both a L and XL. I kept the large just for additional compression. I’m so happy to find a sustainable company that supports all sizes. I can’t wait to buy more!” —Courtney. Get the top from Night Dive for $69 (available in sizes S–6X) and the bottoms for $69 (available in sizes S–6X).

The 3XL fit perfectly.” —HoneyEyes0012. Get it on Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes S–4X and 19 patterns and two solid colors).
