Love swimming — but hate swimwear? We get it! So many shoppers are in the same boat. With skimpy option after skimpy option, how are we supposed to feel comfortable in a one-piece or bikini? We want something that emphasizes our best assets while also hiding things like cellulite on our booty and upper thighs.
Luckily, more brands have been coming out with more full-coverage options, even expanding into swim dresses, shorts and skirts that offer some thigh coverage. Wondering if those styles could possibly be cute — even cuter than regular swimwear? We’ll show you 21 examples below you’ll want in your shopping cart ASAP!
One-Pieces
1. Our Absolute Favorite: With thousands of ratings and nearly 30 solid and pattern colorways, it’s easy to see why more and more shoppers are buying this Aontus One-Piece Swim Dress every day!
2. We Also Love: If you love a little bit of a retro vibe, you’ll be completely obsessed with this ruched Tempt Me “boyleg” one-piece. So flattering!
3. We Can’t Forget: While Skims may have caught the internet’s attention with its “micro” swimwear, Kim Kardashian‘s fashion brand also has options like this Metallic Swim Cycle Suit, featuring mid-thigh coverage!
4. Sleeves, Please: If you want leg coverage and also arm coverage for water sports (or to avoid sunburn), check out this MakeMeChic swimsuit!
