Truth be told, everyone has that one thing they dislike buying. For some, squeezing into jeans in search of the best pair can be stressful, while others loathe lingerie shopping. Personally, I've always had a challenging relationship with swimsuit shopping—specifically finding a modest bikini. As someone who's curvier and bustier, certain types of swimsuits are simply a hard pass (looking at you, string bikinis) for modesty reasons. Of course, it can be a bit tricky to put your finger on exactly how to define modesty, as it means something different to everyone. Whether your rationale for shopping modest suits stems from personal preferences, religious standards, or just the desire not to wear a thong bikini in front of your family, there's no denying the importance of having a few modest swimsuits in one's summer wardrobe. Finding them? Well, that's a different story.
It can be incredibly hard to find a chic swimsuit that provides full coverage—until now. Rather than relent to the pressure of wearing uncomfortable swimsuits, I've spent hours searching the internet for swimwear that will allow you to feel beautiful without having to bare it all. Ahead, you'll find a curation of the 38 best modest swimsuits at every price point, organized by total cost for entire sets. While most of these options won't leave you completely covered up, there are high-neck one-pieces, bikini bottoms with full coverage, and tankinis in the roundup, all of which are chic enough to wear, regardless of their coverage level. These may not transform your relationship with swimsuit shopping overnight, but they'll help you wade into the waters.
