With summer officially almost here, I’m back on the hunt for swimsuits that actually check every box. We want comfortable and flattering on every body type but also a flawless tan. I’ve always struggled to find that balance between “mom-friendly” and on-trend, because let’s be honest, we don’t want to sacrifice style just because we want a little more coverage or support. With a few trips coming up and time spent out east near The Hamptons, I’ve been refining my swim style and focusing on pieces that feel good in all the right places. Let’s think adjustable straps, great fits, and silhouettes that move with you on those sunny days. And after a lot of trial and error, I can confidently say these picks go far beyond your basic one-piece. Here are a few of our favorite pieces for swimsuit shopping and that perfect tan on those beach days.
Trendy Options
This season, swim trends feel especially fun and wearable. We’re seeing everything from bold colors and cut-outs to elevated textures like ruching and ribbed fabrics. But the best part is how these trends are being designed with real bodies in mind. High-waisted bikinis, tankinis, and supportive one-pieces are all having a moment again, and they’re more flattering than ever. I personally lean toward pieces that feel timeless with a modern twist. Styles I know I’ll reach for year after year, not just for one season. Options that can stand the test of time area a game changer and we want the ultimate tan. So it has to be on trend and not going to give weird tan lines. There are a variety of styles on trend this season and they work on every body shape. Tan-through swimsuits are even a cool option! Tan-through swimwear is a newer concept to us but it’s definitely intriguing to look into.
Mom Choices
At the end of the day, “mom-approved” really just means you-approved. Whether you love a high-waist bikini, a classic one-piece, or like to mix it up depending on the day, it all comes down to how you feel wearing it. Confidence truly is the best thing you can put on, and when you feel comfortable, it shows. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach here, just options that help you feel like your best self. Confidence is key and if you feel good, you automatically look good!
And a reminder I always come back to: every body is a summer body. Whether you’re postpartum, navigating body changes, or just want a little extra support, that’s completely normal. Swimwear can be an investment, so finding pieces you feel good in and will actually wear is key. Give yourself permission to choose what works for you and leave the rest.
Affordable Options
It’s so easy to splurge on swimwear that you know will last because it’s worth the investment. Like tan-through fabric, that is not cheap but again, worth the price point. There are so many awesome swimsuits that are on the affordable side that do a decent job at lasting a couple of seasons, too. We’ve included a mix of price points for swimwear and are excited for all of them!
