Summer is just around the corner – now all that’s missing is the right bikini or swimsuit! Let me show you where to find the most beautiful plus-size swimwear.
Now that the temperature is starting to heat up after a long and frigid winter, we are desperately waiting for a warm summer to come. So, what do we need for sunny days ahead? The perfect swimwear, of course! Unfortunately, there is still a misconception of plus-size women and swimwear in the fashion industry: The idea that Curvys want to conceal their curves in the summer and show as little skin as possible. Therefore, you often find swimsuits that either look like a diving suit, or boring one-pieces in ugly, bland colors. But that’s over now!
We’ll show you where to find the most beautiful plus-size swimwear you’ll want to be wearing this summer.
Youswim
Buying swimwear has never been so easy! The bikinis and swimsuits of the London-based swimwear brand Youswim are namely one size and fit seven sizes at the same time thanks to the particularly stretchy material. The pieces are also produced fairly in England and are made of nylon and elastics from Europe. Youswim focuses on timeless cuts without a lot of frills in their swimwear styles. The pieces are available in the most unusual colors from lilac to neon green, everything is really there – and with the bikini bottoms you can choose between a high-waist cut or the standard cut. By the way, natural beauty is particularly important to Youswim, which is why the brand does not edit its images and focuses on diversity in its models.
Alpine Butterfly
Alpine Butterfly is a Latinx X, female founded, plus-size swimwear brand based in Los Angeles, California. Alpine focuses on designing high-quality swimwear and casual-wear that looks and feels flattering. With a focus on body inclusivity and plus-size swim, Alpine carries sizes XS to 6X. Everything is handmade and made to order in LA, with limited quantities of fabric to avoid wasteful overproduction. Let’s keep supporting women!
The Saltwater Collective
The Saltwater Collective is all about celebrating confidence, sustainability and body positivity. Owner and designer, Camilla James says, “I want our customers to put on one of our swimsuits and feel completely confident in their own skin. I hope that by creating a variety of styles, customers will be able to fully design their own looks and showcase their favourite parts of themselves. As the brand grows my hope is that we have something for everyone to feel their best in.”
LA’MARIETTE
La’Mariette is a female-led company from Los Angeles, California founded by Theresa Mingus. Theresa created the swimsuit brand with the intention of designing affordable, sustainable, inclusive, and cute pieces. I love these swimsuits because they come in a variety of styles and prints that are suitable for every body type.
Violeta by MANGO
We love the new Violeta by MANGO plus size swimwear collection! The new swim collections offers a variety of colors – everything from pastel to gaudy. The patterns are classy and the plus size bikini and swimsuit styles are no less than the smaller size designs. So, if you’re looking for a little more affordable swimwear that flatters the figure and is a real eye-catcher, you should definitely stop by Violeta by MANGO. By the way, the bikinis and swimsuits are available up to size 3XL.
