Fellow fat, curvy, plus sized folks: it's time for a new bathing suit, and not just because it's summer or you're planning a tropical vacation — there are just so many new chic, sexy, and fun styles out there, and you deserve an upgrade. Within just the past four years, we've seen an uptick in the availability of trendy plus size swimwear. Our favorite brands as of late come in inclusive, extended sizes and are designed for the many different types of fat bodies.
As a fat person who came from wearing rashguards to going topless at a Fat Beach Day in NYC, I've dedicated this list to bathing suits that fit all shapes and forms. Here you'll find the best plus size swimwear brands for those who want to show it all, keep it modest, and anywhere in between. Whatever your comfort level, remember: every body is a bikini body.
Our top 3 favorite plus size swimwear brands we've tested:
Nomads Swimwear: This luxury sustainable brand has stylish, resort-ready designs that make me feel sexy and seen without compromising on comfort.
TA3: After you try one on yourself, you'll see why everyone on TikTok (as well our own style editors) is in awe of its popular waist-sculpting one-pieces.
Target: When in doubt, check out Target's in-house brands like Wild Fable and Kona Sol for affordable plus size swimwear that I've found easy to mix and match.
