Bikini season is coming, so here’s the best swimwear brands to shop now
Where to go for cute 'kinis and swimsuits when life’s a beach 👙
Swimwear shopping is up there with jeans shopping when it comes to activities that *should* be fun, but definitely are not. Don't get us wrong, we love a bit of retail therapy as much as the next gal. But the process of picking out a bikini or swimsuit that is equal parts flattering, stylish and offers the same level of support you'd get from an underwear brand is no small feat. Combine the effort with the fact you're likely modelling your potential new beach attire in a poorly lit changing room or your bedroom, and it's no surprise the experience can be a tad depressing.
In an effort to make the whole process a little easier, the Cosmo Fashion Team has rounded up all our favourite swimwear brands that are worth knowing about. Because deciding where to shop for your upcoming holiday wardrobe (or garden sunbathe) is half the battle. From the dedicated OG swimwear brands that do technical two-pieces like no other to the high street labels branching out into resort wear – thank you, Reformation – consider this your ultimate style guide.
For gals with big boobs, make sure you check out the swimwear brands catering to those with a DD cup size or larger. We've also thought about those with small boobs who might be more partial to a micro bikini, as well as swim labels doing sexy plus size options. Whatever your body shape, we've got your back.
Looking to make more sustainable fashion choices? We've also covered eco-friendly labels, while those prioritising the trendiest styles can't go wrong with celebrity-approved bikini brands. We told ya, it's an exhaustive list.
