Calling All Curvy Girls: I Found 24 of the Internet's Most Stunning Swimsuits
Swimsuit season is in full effect, which means you can handle all the string bikinis, sandals, and daylong beach trips your heart can desire and your SPF can handle. Getting to the pool, beach, or wherever you're heading is the easy part, but shopping for the perfect suit is a little bit more complicated. There's a multitude of swimwear trends out there, but we all have different levels of comfort. Whether you're into a barely-there, controversial bikini trend or like to be a little more modest, shopping for swimwear proves even more difficult when curves enter the equation.
Let's be honest: A lot of swimwear brands wrongly don't design their suits with voluptuous bodies in mind, so if you're curvy, like me, you learn to keep a discerning eye on which brands will fit the bill. After some thorough research (aka revisiting a few of my favorite curvy influencers) and a little bit of swimwear shopping for myself, I've found a collection of stunning swimsuits that are perfect for a hot girl summer and curvy girl approved. Trust me—you'll want to get your hands on these.
I didn't lie when I told you H&M is the GOAT for cheap, trendy bikinis.
I legit can't get over the pretty print on this one-piece swimsuit.
I hope you don't mind all eyes on you because they definitely will be when you're in this stunning suit.
YouSwim takes a more unique size approach than other brands. The brand's suits come in two sizes: Stretch I, which accommodates sizes 2 to 14, and Stretch II, which accommodates sizes 14 to 24.
Because everyone needs a classic one-piece.
If you're looking for classic, I definitely found it.
If you're busty, here's another brand you want to look out for.
Shop the matching Riveria Bottom ($82).
From the tie detail to the fashion-person floral print, there's so much to love about this bikini.
Good American's swim collection is designed to fit a diverse range of body types.
Looking for a suit that's super chic? Try this one from Frankies Bikinis.
This is definitely a "wear at your own risk" type of suit, but if you don't mind minimal coverage, this bikini is super affordable.
I've been a fan of Lonely's gorgeous lingerie for a minute, and the brand's swim collection is equally impressive.
