Best Cheap Plus-Size Swimsuit

B2prity Women's One Piece Swimsuit.

With a cute retro-style cut and halter neck (which hooks on two ways), this one-piece gives your summer swimwear collection a little aloha vibe—and we love the neckline on the front. One caveat: This cute suit fits a little better for people with smaller chests.

Best Splurge Plus-Size Swimsuit

Crochet Plunge One Piece Swimsuit.

If you feel sexiest in your lingerie, this black crochet swimsuit is the next best thing. The delicate lace insets trace your curves, while a playful bow secures the back of the suit. It’s basically the heart-eye emoji in a one-piece.

Best Striped Plus-Size Swimsuit

Wolf & Whistle Curve Exclusive Eco stripe swimsuit in black & white.

There are the stripes you’ve seen a thousand times before, and then there are stripes. This white-and-black blocked-up remix on your standard pattern is cute, sure, but it’s also made out of recycled plastic bottles and textile waste.

Best Sporty Plus-Size Swimsuit

One-Piece Racerback Swimsuit NIKE.

If you’re looking for a suit to work out or swim laps in, this Nike number is what you’re looking for. It keeps you covered and holds up after hours logged in chlorine. Keep in mind that it’s a training suit, so it’ll fit a little tighter than your usual beach suit.

Best Plus-Size Swimsuit with Built-In Bra

Curvy Kate Sheer Class Balcony Bikini Swim Top and Bottoms.

If you prefer your top to come in bra cup sizes (sometimes the fit feels more secure), go for this red-hot bikini. It's sizzling hot, and has plenty of features too: flexible side boning keeps the top from digging in, and you can either keep the straps as they are or cross them in the back. Pair it with these cute bottoms that have a mesh peekaboo bellybutton.

Best Plus-Size Swimsuit from Amazon

Daci Women's One Piece Plus Size High Neck Swimsuit.

This best-selling swimsuit is a great compromise for when you want to feel sexy and also have freedom of movement (plunging necklines can backfire!). The mesh panel over the girls keeps them in place, and the suit supports and shapes while staying comfortable after hours of wear. We think the red is stunning, but there are 11 gorgeous shades to pick from.
