This high-waisted bottom has been an Aerie hit all year. It comes in a lovely olive hue, or just go with standard black. I’d recommend a wrap bikini top (or any other Aerie style) to go with this.

Pour Moi Escape Sweetheart Bikini Top

If you have big boobs, shopping for a bathing suit can suck serious butt. I’ve been there; you can’t just grab a suit off the rack at Victoria’s Secret. Thankfully, places like Bare Necessities exist and cater to women with DD chests and larger. This sweetheart bikini top is similar to a bra in terms of support in the cups and straps, but it doesn’t look like you’re actually wearing your bra to the pool.

Not every bathing suit top for bigger chests needs to have an uncomfortable underwire. This ASOS Textured Crop Bikini Top has a scoop-neck design that requires no fastening, and can easily be pulled on and off over your head.

Some people think one-piece bathing suits are meant for children or grandmas. But obviously, those people are wrong. One pieces can be just as sexy as a bikini, if not more so. This Tempt Me Women’s One-Piece shows off plenty of skin, but won’t make you feel like you’re out on display.

This Women’s Ruffled One-Piece Swimsuit gives you the chance to show off your back while still having a lot of coverage. This suit feels like it is almost exclusively made for bachelorette gatherings, as the bride can wear the white suit and her friends can all sport the black.
