After a year of little to no vacations, adjusting to the pandemic and perhaps dealing with body changes, the idea of shopping for swimwear can be so daunting.
Model and influencer Gessiqua Pugh said it best when she told us to “wear what you feel comfortable in and accentuate a part of your body that you like most.” If you’re looking to find swimsuits that suit your body or preferred coverage, she recommends looking to social media to see how certain styles look on body types that are similar to yours. Then, once you get your new suit, she advises you to practice wearing it around the house to “get comfortable with how the swimsuit looks on you and how it moves around your body so that you don’t have to worry about any wardrobe malfunctions.”
Celebrity stylist Erin Noël is particularly excited about high-cut swim options for women these days. “The cut at the waist elongates the leg but still provides coverage over the tummy if needed,” she shares. She’s also seeing sculpted underwire in bikini tops and plenty of cutouts. Otherwise, she shares that “colors will range from pastels to animal prints, and her favorite trend for summer 2021, retro prints.” For men, she thinks the midlength shorts are a great option in pastels or fun prints as well.
Overall, celebrity stylist Kelvin “K.J.” Moody doesn’t think a bad swimsuit is possible. “Swimwear is like underwear — it hinges on how you feel about yourself (and your aesthetic) in that moment,” he says. “If you love what you are wearing, you are good to go!”
With this guidance in mind, we’ve rounded up some stylist-approved and top-rated swimsuit options for men and women of all body types. From itty-bitty bikinis and head-turning one-pieces to swim tunics and cheeky trunks, there’s sure to be a style below to suit your vibe.
