Who’s feeling completely 100% ready for swimsuit season? Let’s hear it! Okay, so maybe there isn’t a crowd roaring “Me!” back at Us. We always feel excited for the season itself and the concept of hitting up the beach and pool, splashing in the water and getting our tan on — but when it comes to actually putting on that bathing suit again for the first time since last summer? That’s where the fear and low self-esteem can start to trickle in.
We wanted to put together a list of different types of swimsuits for various body types, style preferences and needs so that everyone can feel confident in their swimsuits for 2021. We picked out flattering swimwear from all across the internet — and to suit all different budgets — that will accentuate all of the things you love about your figure!
Our Favorite Flattering Swimsuit
Wrap dresses and tops are some of the most flattering pieces out there, so why not take that style and make it swimwear? That’s what CUPSHE did with this fan-favorite wrap one-piece! The tie helps cinch your waist while the high-rise bottom portion flatters your figure even further!

Types of Flattering Swimwear
Here are a few examples of things we looked for when searching for the most flattering swimwear out there:
- Color-block styles: Color-blocking can help draw attention to certain parts of the body and away from others!
- Tummy-control styles: They’re mostly self-explanatory, but tummy-control swimsuits often have a hidden panel or use special material to keep you looking and feeling fit.
- High-rise bikinis: A high-rise bottom can do wonders for the waistline!
- Different body types: Plus size? Big or small chest? Hourglass shape? Pear shape? Everyone deserves a swimsuit they can feel confident in!
