Finding a great swimsuit is a lot like finding the perfect pair of jeans. It isn’t easy.
Like jeans, we need our swimwear to check all the boxes in terms of desired fit, style, and function. In other words, shopping for bathers can involve a decent amount of trial and error before finding the right one! Not to mention, wearing a swimsuit can naturally feel extremely vulnerable—so add that on top of everything else!
But don’t fret—by knowing the right brands to shop from, you’re sure to find a suit you feel you’re absolute best in, whether you’re lounging poolside or embracing your inner mermaid at the beach. If you’re on the hunt for a stylish new swimsuit, these brands have you covered! —Bailey Grant
