My Favorite Bathing Suit Brands

Let’s start with brands I know and trust—the tried-and-true names that consistently deliver. Brands like Becca, Bleu by Rod Beattie, Gottex, Miraclesuit, and Trina Turk have been around for a reason—they simply get swimwear.

But I also love some of the newer brands that have joined the scene in recent years: Andie Swim, Summersalt, Hermoza—they’ve quickly become favorites for their modern designs and inclusive sizing.

My Best Tips for Bathing Suit Shopping

1. Try on a lot. Like jeans, swimsuits require trial and error. One of my clients tried 37 before finding the right one!
2. Don’t default to “more coverage = more flattering.” Structure, fabric quality, and support matter more.
3. Prioritize bust support. Adjustable straps and molded cups can make all the difference.
4. Size up or down strategically. Compression suits? Size up. Budget suits? Maybe size down.
5. Consider your swim activity. Lounging and active use call for different suits.
6. Fit the torso first. Especially if you’re long- or short-torsoed—get that right, then adjust the bust as needed.

Build the Full Swim Look

Remember: a bathing suit is just one piece of your swim style. Add a fabulous hat, stylish sunglasses, bronzing lotion if you love it, a great beach bag, and a killer cover-up. I’ve linked a full catalog with suits, accessories, plus-size and bust-support sections—everything you need to feel confident and stylish at the beach or pool this summer.

Don’t let anyone tell you what you should or shouldn’t wear at the beach. If you want to wear makeup, wear it. Want to glam it up? Go for it. What matters is that you feel like the best, most confident version of yourself.
