Swimwear shopping made easy: Our top 12 swimsuits guaranteed to suit every body type, from £23
They fit like a dream…
If you have a summer getaway pencilled in your calendar, then you’re likely on the hunt for some new swimsuits - and if you’re anything like me, you’re also likely dreading it. Shopping for swimwear is no easy feat; it can be hard to find something that ticks all the boxes: comfortable, stylish and of course - flattering. While here at GH we firmly believe all bodies are beach bodies, sometimes we just need a little extra help from a well-designed swimsuit to give us a confidence boost.
The trick lies in pinpointing clever design features that will work for you. This could come in the form of body-sculpting panels to smooth, strategically placed ruching, built-in support or even patterns that create a slimming effect. It’s all in the details.
Whether you have a fuller-bust and need an extra layer of security, or you’re looking for something that will comfortably sculpt and cinch you in. Investing in a good swimsuit that’s tailored to your specific needs is sure to guarantee poolside confidence all summer long.
We’ve found some gorgeous options from the likes of Boux Avenue, who are experts at designing swimwear with cup support (all the way up to a 38G), Next who carry a shape-enhancing range that is sure to lift your spirits - and we even found a Cupshe number with a flutter sleeve, a stylish choice for those who prefer a little more coverage on their arms.
Starting at just £23, get ready to meet your perfect summer companion.
Boux Avenue’s Rivoli swimsuit is an instant classic. The slimming black base is elevated with contrast white hip paneling which creates a clever sculpting effect. Designed to support and lift, it comes with adjustable straps and cup sizes for a tailored fit.
Cupshe’s power mesh lining helps to cinch, smooth and support the midsection so you can waltz onto the beach with confidence. The unique addition of flutter sleeves are perfect if you prefer a little coverage on your upper-arms.
You can’t go wrong with Next’s shape-enhancing swimsuits, designed to flatten the tummy and create an hourglass silhouette. This one features an expensive-looking tropical print, a pretty wrap detail and adjustable straps for the perfect fit.
Not only is this shimmery swimsuit tummy-controlling, but secretly tucked underneath lay underwired cups for an extra layer of support and lift. And don’t worry - this one carries cup sizes up to a 40L!
If you want to make a statement, you can’t go wrong with Boden. This swimsuit features an ultra-flattering halter neck shape and ties at the neck for a secure, adjustable fit.
This cherry red, asymmetric swimsuit offers light shaping to cinch in the waist, while strategically placed ruching adds a flattering finish. (Plus, it’s on sale for just £23 right now!)
This swimsuit is also part of Next’s tummy control range, however, this one has the added advantage of vertical stripes that create a slimming and elongating illusion for an extra boost of confidence.
This olive-green swimsuit features a sophisticated low-cut leg for extra coverage, a flattering crossed neckline and ruching across the tummy that creates a slimming effect. The tie-up back also means you can adjust it to your liking.
If you’re looking to keep it simple, this classic black swimsuit is ideal. It features halterneck tie, a straight neckline and ever-so-subtle gathering for an extra flattering effect. It balances modesty and allure with a full-coverage front and a low-cut back.
We couldn’t resist adding an extra halter-neck swimsuit to the list - it’s one of those shapes that flatters every body type. This one from Accessorize has the added bonus of a shaping material, designed to smooth and shape your tummy.
Pour Moi are known for their swimwear that offers shape, comfort and style all in one. This swimsuit features lightly padded cups, supporting up to a 38G, alongside adjustable straps for extra lift.
Elevate your classic white swimsuit with a pretty frilled detail that sits along the plunge neckline. This one also has hidden tummy-control for extra support.
