The best swim dresses, at a glance
Best Overall Swim Dress: Cupshe Scoopneck Tie-Knot Swim Dress
What we love: Wide, supportive straps; adjustable design
Worth noting: Only goes up to size XLA swim dress that makes you look cute and feel confident? That’s a win! This flirty floral number features a flattering scoop neck with wide, adjustable straps for extra bust support, plus a tie on the skirt you can style higher or lower depending on how much leg you want to show. I love how refined this suit is, giving the illusion of a chic sarong layered over a sleek one-piece. Plus, 85% of reviewers rated it four stars or above, and Cupshe is one of Glamour’s most trusted swimwear brands.
Sizes: XS–XL / Material: 80% nylon, 20% spandex / Colors: 9 options
Best Swim Dress With Tummy Control: Miraclesuit Alina Swim Dress
What we love: Supportive cups; adjustable straps; good coverage
Worth noting: Relatively pricey; can be hard to put onThis sleek tummy-control swimsuit lives up to the hype, smoothing and flattering in all the right places without looking matronly—it’s like shapewear for the pool. I own several Miraclesuit bathing suits, and they all make me look snatched. They’re super-flattering and very comfy, and they do wonders for my post-baby belly without making me feel squeezed in or restricted. This one features adjustable straps and underwire bra support to lift the girls, a scoop back, a chic asymmetrical neckline, and a flowy full-coverage skirt with a slit up the side.

Most Stylish Swim Dress: Seea Bolinas Surf One-Piece
What we love: Built-in shorts; removable strap
Worth noting: Hand-wash onlyCatch waves and compliments in this skintight swim dress reminiscent of your favorite minidress, complete with built-in shorts to boot. It comes in colors like classic black, but the modern tropical prints are perfect if you really want to stand out. The best part: You can remove one of the adjustable shoulder straps to create an on-trend asymmetrical silhouette when you want to mix things up. One reviewer says this one-piece swimsuit is “sexy, but covers all the right stuff.” Plus, since the skirt is stitched to the shorts, it won’t float when you’re in the water. Problem solved.
Sizes: XS–XL / Material: Recycled polyester, spandex / Colors: 5 options
Best Swim Dress on Amazon: Century Star One-Piece Swim Dress
What we love: Tons of colors and patterns; adjustable straps
Worth noting: No tummy control“This swim dress is a little on the longer side without being frumpy, which means I can run around and pick up my toddler without worrying about flashing anyone on the beach while still looking cute,” says Glamour contributor Anna Vognsen. “I love the pastel tie-dye print—can you tell I’m an ’80s baby?—but it comes in a bunch of other colors and prints if that’s not your thing. The skirt is adjustable, so you can show as little or as much leg as you want, and the top fits like my favorite bodysuit.”
Sizes: S–XXL / Material: 82% polyamide, 18% elastane / Colors: 18 options
Best Swim-Dress Sizing: Lands’ End Side-Tie Mini Swim Dress
What we love: Inclusive sizing; UPF 50
Worth noting: Can feel heavy when wetDesigned with tons of modularity for every body type, this wrap-style swim dress features a functional side tie to create some shape and elongate your torso. The supportive, sewn-in soft cups won’t shift as soon as you hit the water, and the UPF 50 fabric offers extra sun protection and is chlorine-resistant, too—no fading or sagging—so you can have all the fun in the sun, season after season. You can choose from petite, regular, and long lengths in sizes that run up to a 26. (The Lands’ End site also offers four cup sizes.)

Worth noting: Sizing runs smallFrom the beach club to the pool bar, this sparkly swim dress can do it all. It’s versatile enough to pair with sandals and a hat to shop, dine, or stroll the boardwalk, and it won’t weigh you down when you’re in the water. “It has a built-in one-piece underneath that gives you full coverage and keeps everything in place, no tugging, no shifting,” says Caralyn Mirand Koch, a plus-size model turned content creator. “The sewn-in soft cups give just the right amount of shaping and support—nothing too padded—and the fabric is chlorine-resistant with UPF 50, so it holds up beautifully all season long, and every year after.”

What we love: Bust-enhancing design; adjustable straps; UPF 50+
Worth noting: Only fits up to a C cupFlaunt what your momma gave you in this flowy, feminine swim dress designed to fit up to a C cup. The V-neck style gives your bust a boost, while the breezy skirt delivers effortless elegance and won’t get bogged down by a dip in the pool. It’s also the perfect length, not too long or too short, so you’re fully covered without giving up a more youthful silhouette. Plus, the material offers UPF 50+ coverage for easy sun protection.

The dress boasts built-in shapewear and moderate compression to smooth and sculpt, with strategic ruching at the waist to add definition. It also gives your booty a nice little lift.

Best Tankini: Tommy Bahama Island Kays Cabana Ruffle Tankini
What we love: Built-in tummy control; two-piece design
Worth noting: Minimal breast supportThis sporty, stylish Tommy Bahama tankini top is coastal prep-meets-tennis chic. You’re bound to make a splash poolside with a plunging V-neck and built-in tummy control. Pair it with the matching ruffled skirt for a resort-ready look that’s sure to score you a ton of attention. I could even see this doubling as an athleisure look when you’re poking around the resort or the boardwalk.
Sizes: XS–XL / Material: 95% recycled nylon, 5% spandex / Colors: 2 options
Best Cover-Up: Vitamin A Riviera Mini Dress
What we love: Lightweight material; versatile styling options
Worth noting: Limited sizingIf a traditional swim dress isn’t your style, try this luxurious linen cover-up, which goes with—and over—everything. The material is airy and lightweight, making it an ideal travel dress, and open-tie sides look polished without making you sweat your booty off when it feels like a sauna outside. I love the mid-thigh length for ease of movement and the deep V-neck for extra breathing room. It’s one of my favorite and most versatile cover-ups.
Sizes: XS–L / Material: 80% linen, 20% organic cotton / Colors: 2 options
