When you think of the best long-sleeve swimsuits, stylish isn’t exactly the first word that comes to mind—until now, that is. From cute and sporty cropped rash guards made for movement to sleek black one-pieces that can easily double as bodysuits, today’s long-sleeve women’s swimwear is redefining what stylish sun protection looks like—and we’re totally hooked.
Glamour editors and readers put swimsuits to the test to find and curate the best long-sleeve swimwear for all sorts of needs (be it a supportive suit with tummy control that can withstand a surf; a suit with UPF that ensures you don’t burn to a crisp poolside when SPF alone isn’t enough; or a flattering rash guard you can pair with high-waist bikini bottoms). Many of them are cute enough to wear as cover-ups or transition from the beach to the bar, no questions asked. Whether you’re chasing waves or kids, these suits will have you covered all summer long.
