The 24 Most Flattering One-Piece Swimsuits of 2023 For The Pool or Beach

Think one-piece swimsuits are out? Think again. One-piece swimsuits continue to be a staple that’s well worth having in your arsenal. Heck — they even tend to be a go-to for some of our favorite stars. Everyone from Princess Diana to Emily Ratajkowski has turned to the little black one-piece for a subtle, sexy look . It’s easy to see why these fashion-forward celebs have been ditching their itty-bitty bikinis in favor of the more modest silhouette. Not only are one-piece swimsuits extremely flattering on practically every body type, but they also look super glamorous in poolside selfies . Plus, did we mention the versatile pieces can also be worn as a cute top when layered under your favorite skirts and pants? After tapping into editor recommendations and product reviews, we found the best pieces for vacations ahead.

Dixperfect Women’s High Cut One-Piece

Amazon

View On Amazon

What We Love: The simple high-cut, scoop-back design is universally flattering.

What We Don’t Love: The suit doesn’t have padded cups.

Channeling your inner Pamela Anderson is easy with this Baywatch-eque suit. Not only will its high-cut leg elongate your figure, but the scooped back shows just the right amount of skin. And did we mention it comes in 37 stylish colors and prints? You might as well stock up on a few shades and tuck them into jeans or shorts for an easygoing out getup. It doesn’t have padded cups, but we think that’s easy to look past.

Amazon Essentials Women’s Thin Strap Scoop Neck Swimsuit

View On Amazon

What We Love: With 19 colors and patterns to choose from and an affordable price, owning more than one is totally possible.
What We Don’t Love: We wish it had a low back for a bit more sex appeal.

For a no-frills yet still attractive bathing suit, turn to this Amazon Essentials one-piece, which fits sizes up to 3X and comes in 19 colors and patterns to choose from. (We’re partial to this charming blue and green gingham, but knowing that’s not everyone’s cup of tea, you can’t go wrong with any of the solid shades, like terracotta or violet.) The cut gives off more of a swim meet vibe, rather than a sexy day at the beach, so we would’ve loved to see a low back on it. However, this cut does offer a lot of support for those with larger breasts.

Oseree Lumiere Colore Cut Out One Piece

What We Love: The cutout details around the bust and back are show-stopping on their own. But the metallic stitching adds more oomph.
What We Don’t Love: We wish the brand was more size-inclusive, and there is no padding.

This price might be steep for a bathing suit, let alone a one-piece, but have you seen the glitter? We’re mesmerized by the sparkling, color-blocked fabric, which turns this Oseree one-piece into a showstopper. Swim in it, lounge in it, or wear it as a bodysuit — you have many ways to style this piece. Nonetheless, someone is going to stop to admire. And while we also adore the metallic detailing, we do wish the brand extended its sizing outsize of three sizes and offered removable padding for additional bust support.

Best for Small Busts

Qinsen Strapless Tie Knot One-Piece Swimsuit

Amazon

What We Love: The strapless, tie-knot top leaves no tan lines on the shoulders.
What We Don’t Love: The strapless top may not be supportive enough for larger busts.

Prevent unwanted tan lines on the shoulders with this cute strapless one-piece from Qinsen. The fun cut-outs add a hint of sex appeal, while the tie-knot front gives the sultry suit a sweet and feminine feel. Although it’s a particularly great swimsuit for smaller busts, it does come with removable straps, and it’s made from a soft and stretchy spandex/nylon material that provides a comfortable and supportive fit. The maillot is also fully lined and comes in 20 different colors and patterns.

Smismivo Halter Neck One-Piece

What We Love: Ruching gives this one-piece a vintage vibe that’s flattering for all cup sizes.
What We Don’t Love: The thick straps will leave tan lines.

This sleek halter top one-piece from Smismivo features flattering ruching on the front and removable padded cups. Laura Paulino Rosenbaum, owner and designer of Novel Swim, says ruching is a great detail to look for as it flatters both small and large cup sizes. The suit comes in different colors and prints, ranging from classic solids to pretty florals to fun animal prints. But the thick straps will leave harder-to-get-rid of tan lines

Best Sustainable

Londre The Minimalist

What We Love: Made from recycled plastic bottles, the fabric is buttery soft yet supportive.

What We Don’t Love: Not every color comes in a longer option.

Londre founders Hannah Todd and Ainsley Rose started Londre to create swimwear that’s sustainable yet stylish, and their first design is the brand’s best-selling style today. This one piece is sneakily sexy, with a low scoop neck, low back, and a cheeky butt that won’t sag thanks to the scrunch design. Made from recycled plastic bottles in Vancouver, the fabric is compressive and molds to your body over time. “I’ve tried the brand’s bikinis and I love how silky and sturdy the material feels,” says Emily Cieslak, assistant commerce editor. “The colors are really beautiful too.” Because it can be hard to find your size in one piece, this style comes in both a classic and long fit to better fit those who are above 5’7″ or have a long torso, depending on the color. And if you would like to shop around, senior fashion commerce editor Chloe Anello owns and loves this option from the brand, for a more feminine silhouette.

Tempt Me High-Neck Mesh One-Piece

What We Love: The high neck with mesh subtly shows off your cleavage.
What We Don’t Love: There aren’t any neutral colors.

This option from Tempt Me is one of the most popular swimsuits on Amazon. The high-fashion one-piece is made from a stretchy, comfortable material that will hug your curves in all the right places. We love that the high-neck design features a mesh cut-out in the middle to show off a tasteful amount of cleavage on this covered-up design. The back, too, has mesh straps, tying the two elements together. We just wish it came in a neutral shade, rather than just bold patterns and this bright fuchsia.

What We Love: It’s a no-fuss, adjustable suit that won’t slip when swimming.
What We Don’t Love: The seam down the back is very noticeable.

Minimalists will love this classic maillot by La Blanca. The simple yet chic suit features a scooped neck, high-cut sides, and ruching that smoothes out your midsection. Adjustable straps and removable cups let you tailor the fit to your body. Think of it as your favorite spaghetti strap top, made for the water. We only wish the seam down the back were a little less noticeable.

What We Love: This vintage suit lifts and tones.
What We Don’t Love: The underwire in the cups can pop out.

How sleek is this suit from Miraclesuit? Along with draping around the middle to create an hourglass effect, the bathing suit also boasts a built-in underwire bra for added support. Its patented Miratex material provides a smoothing effect, while the brief-cut bottom gives you extra coverage in the back — it’s like Spanx you can swim in. The underwire has been known to pop out, though, so take extra care of it when washing or storing it.

Best Belted

Zimmerman Tiggy plunge-neck swimsuit

What We Love: The belt cinches the waist, highlighting your natural curves.
What We Don’t Love: The plunge might be tricky for those with larger breasts.

To make any vacation feel like a luxury resort or trip to a posh place, this Zimmermann will give you that vibe, even if you’re not actually going to those places. The sleek blue sheen looks luxe, while the belt will cinch in your waist, highlighting natural curves. While we love the look of the plunge front (and back, for that matter), we know it might not be as practical for those with larger busts as it might not offer enough coverage. We suggest sizing up, but the Zimmermann sizing can be a bit confusing to navigate. It technically goes up to a size 4, but Zimmermann uses its own sizing system. A zero fits like a four, while a four fits like a 12. Keep this in mind when you order.

Shekini Lace-Up One-Piece

What We Love: The lace-up front makes this suit customizable for your chest.
What We Don’t Love: There is no padding, and it is not available in size XS.

Strappy lace-up bathing suits are one of the biggest swimwear trends this season, so it makes sense that Amazon shoppers are obsessed with this Shekini one-piece. The sexy maillot has a plunging neckline with adjustable lace-up details that allow you to make it as tight or loose as you’d like. But it doesn’t come in an extra-small, so petite women might have trouble

What We Love: It’s a functional swimsuit that can be styled in various ways based on comfort.
What We Don’t Love: The lining is thin in the bust area.

Looking to add a cute and sporty one-piece to your collection? Skims Zip Front Sleeveless One Piece will make every water activity look like a runway. Its high neckline will keep everything in place, while the medium coverage back and center zipper closure (which you can lower for a more revealing fit) adds a sexy flare. It’s made from recycled nylon and spandex, so trust it will move and mold with you as you’re lounging underneath the sun. However, we do wish it had a thicker (or double) lining to add more support to the bust.

Best Prints

Tempt Me Printed Flounce Ruffled One-Piece

Amazon

What We Love: Bold prints and a ruffled top are great at enhancing petite figures.
What We Don’t Love: The ruffle might feel heavy when wet.

If stylish prints are important to you, look no further than this Tempt Me one-piece swimsuit. With 31 different patterns — ranging from pretty florals to tropical prints — you’re bound to find a style that you love. The ruffled off-the-shoulder silhouette will look great on all shapes and sizes, and the bathing suit also comes with removable straps to make it feel more secure. Just think twice before fully submerging yourself in the pool, though, as this is more a lounging suit, than one made for swimming. The ruffle might feel heavy when wet or stick to your arms in an awkward way.

What We Love: Adjustable shoulder straps make this a stylish suit that can double as a top.
What We Don’t Love: The front cross straps may move around during wear.

We’re obsessed with this stylish cross-halter swimsuit from Daci. The modern silhouette features a ruching along the stomach and you can tie the halter straps in different ways for a customized look. The crisscross option is so eye-catching that we can definitely see ourselves wearing it under a wrap skirt on nights out this summer.

Best Retro-Inspired

Sovoyontee Ruched One-Piece Swimsuit

Amazon

What We Love: It offers full coverage in an iconic vintage silhouette.
What We Don’t Love: Molded cups may cause gaping for those with smaller chests.

How adorable is this retro-inspired one-piece from Sovoyontee? Its vintage silhouette, halter top, and front ruching are just a few of the reasons why the suit is our new go-to when we want to feel glam by the pool. The boyleg design is great for those looking for a little extra coverage in the back, but the molded cups might be too cumbersome on those with smaller breasts.

Best Cheeky

Viottiset Ruched One Piece Swimsuit

Amazon

View On Amazon

What We Love: This adjustable suit has just the right amount of cheekiness — it shows off your booty without riding up.
What We Don’t Love: We wish it came in an extra small.

Of all the one-pieces on Amazon, this design stood out to our eCommerce writer Christina Butan due to its casually sexy design. You can adjust the high-cut fit thanks to the drawstrings on the side and the wire-free scoop embraces your curves without being uncomfortable. “I was pretty shocked by not only how comfortable the Viottiset swimsuit was when I slipped it on, but how flattering it looked, too,” says Butan. “It doesn’t feel suffocating or squeeze me in the wrong places, and the cheeky cut is just cheeky enough that it’s super cute and won’t get scrunched up in your derrière.” While she appreciates the adjustable straps in the spaghetti strap design, you can also buy the one-shoulder version. Get yours before it’s gone.

What We Like: The scallops and cutouts make this suit extra flirty.

What We Don’t Like: You may get some underboob action.

Scallops add a little pizazz to the most basic swimsuit, and this design by Cupshe is the perfect balance between simple and flirty. The knotted top is extra adorable but also provides the functionality of adjustable straps, removable pads, and back hook closure. Those with bigger breasts may have some underboob, but as celebrities like Kendall Jenner demonstrate, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The silhouette isn’t too high cut for those that want more coverage and the scallops soften the lines so your legs never look cut off.

Best Off-The-Shoulder

Tempt Me Ruffled Bathing Suit

What We Love: Romantic ruffles play up your bust while cutouts show off some skin.
What We Don’t Love: The white lining may pop out during wear.

The benefits of this off-the-shoulder swimsuit are endless. You don’t have to worry about awkward tan lines or the top slipping down. The ruffles play up your chest while hiding any trouble spots on your arms. And this design features one of the hottest swim trends of the season, cutouts. With all the vivid colors and high-quality materials, you can easily wear this suit outside of the pool as a top. Reviewers complain that the white lining pops out sometimes during wear, but it’s an easy fix — just fold it back in.

What We Love: It’s a supportive suit with strong tummy control.
What We Don’t Love: The suit runs a bit small.

One-shoulder silhouettes are trending, and this one-piece by Hilor may be one of the most stylish options we’ve seen. Along with flattering ruching and cute ruffled trim, the fully-lined suit boasts a tummy control mesh panel and a supportive front shelf bra. Tip: If you have broad shoulders, a one-shoulder design is a good way to break up the neckline. This does run a bit small, though, so we recommend sizing up.

Love the support of a one-piece but the look of a bikini? Consider this skin-baring option from Leisup. From the back, it looks and fits like your average maillot, but the front of the suit shows just as much skin as your favorite two-piece. The adjustable tie-knot allows you to customize the suit’s fit, while the cheeky bottom shows off your assets.

Best Long Torso

SummerSalt The Long Torso Perfect Wrap One Piece

SummerSalt

What We Love: The bathing suit is constructed with an additional 1 1/4 inches in length to cater to longer torsos.
What We Don’t Love: The padding is not removable.

If you have a long torso, finding a one-piece that is flattering is a task in and of itself. SummerSalt makes the search less time-consuming with their range of swimsuits catered towards this body type, especially for a one-piece. This swimsuit in particular is a wrap style that promises to compress everything in place, meaning, the fit should be perfect and secure to your body. Similar to the brand’s other pieces, the swimsuit is constructed with an additional 1 1/4 inches in length compared to their regular sizes but still supports and coverage for the bust and butt (without the digging on your sides). The one downside is that the padding is built-in, so you’re unable to remove it if you dislike padding.

What We Love: Straps are optional for this piece, so if you want extra support, you can opt in or opt out — the decision is yours.
What We Don’t Love: The bust does not provide much coverage for larger busts.

We love that the straps are optional on this swimsuit. Anyone who prefers additional support for their bust can hook them into the hidden loop at the top, but we love how it looks strapless. The swimsuit even has an adjustable tie front to tighten the waist, making it more secure, and it’s made out of pre-consumer recycled nylon fabric. It really does offer it all, but it does not provide as much coverage for larger busts, so be mindful of that before adding to the cart.

What We Love: The adjustable straps, shelf bra, built-in cups, and compression support the bust without the digging and discomfort.
What We Don’t Love: It runs a size small, so consider sizing up.

Forget the halter tops, string bikinis, and everything else in between, this SummerSalt swimsuit flatters the silhouette, looks cute, and supports larger busts all in one. Take the straps, for instance: they’re adjustable, soft, and don’t dig at the shoulders — a must for larger breasts. It helps that the one-piece also has a shelf bra with built-in cups for extra support, as well as built-in compression to keep everything in place, so consider this a win for your chest and back. However, it does run small, so consider sizing up one size for a more comfortable fit.
