I'm a DD Cup, and I'm Dreaming of Wearing These Swimsuits
There are two things I'm currently dreaming of. The first is jetting off on a plane to the coast of Positano, and the second is finding the most flattering swimsuit styles for bigger busts. While it’s going to be a while until the first dream can come true, that doesn’t mean the second can’t come true. There are so many great brands that create swimsuits for bigger boobs, and the underwire bikini trend is back with a vengeance. Whether you choose to wear them by your pool, in your yard, or on your roof, you can still fulfill your daydreams about a swimsuit that will not only support you but also sizzle with style this summer, all while social distancing. Keep reading to find some of the dreamiest swimsuits (most of which have an underwire) for big busts and at every price point.
I can vouch for this swimsuit from Ookioh. It not only has bottoms you can mix and match with, but its underwire is the float you never knew you needed.
Founded by a female Australian duo, The Fold is dedicated to creating swimsuits that are actually cute for women with D+ cups. Don't forget the matching The Form Bottoms ($36).
This suit melds two of summer’s top swimwear trends: ruching and underwire. Here for it. Shop the matching bottoms ($53).
Swim sizing can be all over the place, which is where Kitty and Vibe comes in. It's dedicated to crafting swimsuits that fit your bust and your butt. You can shop the matching size-inclusive swim bottoms here ($52).
I might have shrieked when I saw this swimsuit, but can you blame me? Monday Swimwear, founded by Natasha Oakley and Devin Brugman, specializes in Instagram-worthy swimsuits for women with bigger busts, so you can rest assured you'll look good in this underwire leopard bikini top and matching bottoms ($80).
True to its name, Swimsuits for All specializes in creating swimsuits for D to H cups in approachable yet cute styles. Who said you can't find the perfect swimsuit to flatter your body?
ASOS not only comes through with inclusive sizing and affordable price points, but it also nails it every time. I mean, come on. It doesn’t get much cuter than this floral top and matching high-waisted bikini bottoms ($24), amirite?
You probably know H&M has the best sales, but did you know it also has some great swimsuits? Case in point with the top above and the matching bikini bottoms ($13).
Wolf & Whistle makes all the types of suits you dream of frolicking in, including this very on-trend '80s-inspired one-piece.
It's not always easy to actually find a swimsuit in every size, but ASOS is making the semi-impossible possible. Who wouldn't want to wear this vintage-inspired white underwire top with its matching high-waisted briefs ($23)?
Is it just me, or can you imagine lying out with a good book in this vibrant Solid & Striped suit and matching bottoms ($94)?
One of our edit team’s favorite swimwear brands, Lonely specializes in über-stylish size-inclusive lingerie and swimsuits. This sparkling underwire suit with its matching bottoms ($99) are as dreamy as it gets for us fashion girls.
The most robust swimsuit collection always includes a staple red suit. And this one from L*Space, with its matching Cabana Bikini Bottoms ($84), is perfect for your summer capsule.
Bare Necessities has always been dedicated to creating lingerie and swimsuits for women with bigger busts, and this underwire frill bikini is no exception. Shop the matching bottoms here ($58).
Searching for a trendy swimsuit that actually fits you? Enter Raq. Its brand ethos is to create swimsuits for women with D cups or larger. Shop the matching '90s-inspired briefs ($49).
With a dash of '70s psychedelic flavor, this string bikini and matching bottoms ($85) from the Cali-cool brand Frankies Bikinis are a swimsuit staple for all women.
Based out of the UK, Pour Moi has from the get-go challenged the status quo in inclusive sizing. Rather than shying away from creating styles that are for "smaller” boobs, the brand aims to provide the same cute style for all women. Shop the matching bottoms ($45).
We’re putting big bets on ruched swimwear taking over your feed this summer. So why not try this ruched underwire one-piece swimsuit from emerging designer Isa Boulder?
Australian brand Ephemera is also somewhere to consider shopping when looking for a unique swimsuit. This one-piece is just one of many sustainable suits that are both fashion-forward and flattering.
No other brand nails dreamy resort vibes quite like Cult Gaia, and this '60s-inspired printed one-piece is no exception. BRB, let me pin this to my vacation mood board.
You might not be taking a trip to the tropics right now, but you can wear this leopard one-piece from Reina Olga—not too bad of a concession if you’re asking us.
Chromat has continuously made waves in the industry for its runway shows and inclusive sizing. If you’re looking to support an independent label, this one-piece suit is the perfect purchase.
Founded by Sarah Sidway Godshaw, Sidway Swimwear creates suits for your own '90s runway moment. And frankly, I can't imagine not having a runway moment in this printed tie top and matching high-waisted bottoms ($108).
Did you just drop into a daydream at first sight of this lime-colored underwire bikini set from Peixoto? Me too, friends, me too.
If you’re looking for an affordable, staple swimsuit with an underwire, Mango has come to the rescue. Plus, it has a cute matching ribbed bottom ($30).
Eloquii never fails when it comes to inclusive sizing. If you're looking for a classic white swimsuit, this is for you.
And finally, if you've made it this far, we hope we've proven that though you may not be able to go on a trip anytime soon, you can find the perfect underwire swimsuit to wear this summer. Including this one from the travel-inspired brand Onia. Those pearls? Cue wanderlust.
