Finding swimwear that fits is a challenge, whatever your body shape. But the search for swimsuits and bikini tops that support a bigger bust, without fear you’ll accidentally reveal too much underboob or sideboob – or even not enough boob – can feel like a neverending quest.
Not to mention some of this year’s styes are designed for poolside posing only and not to get wet. Yes, really.
But fear not, there are stylish pieces to shop. We’ve rounded up our favourite picks – supportive enough for all body shapes, particularly if you’re bigger on top.
And while you’re here, check out our sustainable swimwear guide, too.
This swimsuit has underwire support and a flattering v-neckline paired with a belted waist. It’s part of ASOS’s fuller bust range, which is dedicated to well-cut and shaped styles that will ensure you’re comfortable all summer long.
Bravissimo Sydney Bikini Top, Bravissimo 28D - 38GG, £30 and Sydney Swim Brief, Bravissimo S-2XL, £22
This sports luxe two-piece is the perfect compliment to a tan, with the pastel lavender nicely colour-blocked with neon detailing. If you’re looking for a bikini top that will keep you covered without any worries, opt for thicker straps like these, which will provide flattering but non-flimsy support.
The thick straps, feminine but full coverage, and luxe looking material make for a winning combination, proving you don’t have to compromise on functionality for fashion. Full marks for the hidden underwiring, too.
Rene Soft Wrap Halter Black Bikini Top, Figleaves S-XL, £14 and Rene Fold Bikini Brief, Figleaves 8-26, £11.20
Rather than risking a flash of unwanted underboob, try this soft fit halterneck style. The ties on the top are adjustable too so you can customise the fit, all the better to suit your best bits.
If you want to flash a little more skin, this plunge neck swimsuit is ideal. The flutter sleeves balance out the deep v-neck, while the stretchy swim fabric is made from recycled nylon. Look good and do good at the same time.
Santorini High Neck Bikini Top, Figleaves 12-26, £28 and Santorini High Waisted Bikini Brief 12-26, £20
If Santorini isn’t on the cards this summer, you can still get your Greek fix with this bikini set which pays homage to the beautiful blue rooftops on the Island. The colour block panels, fixed foam cups and high halterneck fastening make for a fashion forward, but super flattering design.
