9 Best Swimwear Brands of 2026

Summersalt is the brand we would send most women to first. Its best seller, The Sidestroke, is a one-shoulder one-piece with diagonal seaming that the brand says keeps everything in place, full support without cups or padding, and C Coverage, its fullest cut at the back. The size run is the widest on this list, from 0 to 24, and the same suit comes in a Long Torso fit for taller bodies. The fabric is 78% recycled polyamide and 22% elastane, rated UPF 50+, and Summersalt says wear tests showed it keeps its shape and compression after more than 100 hours in chlorinated water. The product page carries 8,269 reviews, far more than any other suit we checked. The list price is $125, and when we checked it was $62.50 with a code. The catch is the return policy on sale items: they can be exchanged or refunded as site credit only. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not try the suits on.

Andie is the brand to pick if you want other buyers to have done the testing. Its Mykonos One Piece shows a 4.7 out of 5 rating from 1,227 reviews on the product page, with 949 of them five stars. The suit has a plunge V-neckline, extra thick fixed straps, a compressive under bust band that cinches the waist, and removable soft cups, so it suits women who want support without underwire. Sizing runs XS to 3X, and each size comes in a Classic or Long Torso fit. Andie offers free exchanges on all US orders, which matters when you are unsure between two sizes. The Mykonos costs $122 in Eco Nylon and $142 in quilted floral, and the one-piece collection lists 115 results, so there are many cuts beyond this one. Free shipping starts at $150, so a single suit usually pays shipping. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not try the suits on.

Aerie, the swim and intimates brand of American Eagle, is the easiest budget brand to buy from because its product pages show store pickup options as well as delivery. Its Ruched Full Coverage One Piece Swimsuit costs $54.95, has a full coverage cut and removable pads, and is sold only at Aerie under the brand's Real Good badge for its more sustainable products. Holiday returns were extended through February 1, 2027 when we checked. The section also carries suits from Andie and Left On Friday, so one store covers several price levels. The trade-off is evidence: the featured suit is rated 3.9 out of 5 from 21 reviews, and its page publishes less fabric and fit detail than the direct-to-consumer brands above it. Reviewers rated its support 5 out of 5 and fit as true to size on average. It is a sensible pick for a first suit or a spare, less so for daily laps. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not try the suits on.

Cupshe is the budget brand. Its one-piece section lists 331 suits, and the cheapest we found, the Feel the Rush Black One-Piece Swimsuit, costs $31, while most styles sit between $37 and $47. Many are labeled Tummy Control. The Not So Innocent Tummy Control Swimsuit, at $47, has a plunging neckline, crossback straps, removable soft cups, medium bust support and PowerMesh, in 90% polyester and 10% spandex. Each size on the chart lists bust, underbust, waist, hip and torso measurements plus matching bra sizes, which makes ordering easier than a plain S, M, L. The limits are fabric and returns: polyester blends are less resistant to chlorine than the nylon and elastane suits above, the featured suit stops at XL, and free returns are only for registered subscribers. Free standard shipping starts at $79, so two suits usually ship free. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not try the suits on.

Miraclesuit is the specialist on this list. Every suit carries a support level from 1 to 3, and the Oceanus One Piece, which the brand calls its number one waist-cinching swimsuit, is rated 3 of 3, Serious Support. The control comes from Miratex, Miraclesuit's firm fabric, which the brand says controls the tummy and minimizes the waist without side panels. The Oceanus has a wrapped front, a V-neckline and a soft cup push-up bra, and it is also made in DD-Cup, DDD-Cup and Plus versions. Standard sizes run 8 to 18, and the page notes that it fits small based on customer reviews, so many buyers will size up. It is rated 4.6 out of 5 from 396 reviews. At $172 it costs more than most everyday brands, and prints of the same cut run up to $192. For women whose main goal is a flatter midsection, it is the most direct answer. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not try the suits on.

Roxy comes from surf culture, and its swimwear is built for women who move around at the beach. The Palm Before The Storm Low Back One Piece Moderate Swimsuit costs $100 and is made of 87% recycled nylon and 13% spandex, a blend closer to performance swimwear than the polyester suits at the budget end. Roxy puts the bottom coverage in each product title, such as Moderate, which helps when you shop online. Sizes run XS to XXL. Returns are accepted on eligible items within 30 days of delivery, and standard shipping is free on orders of $99 or more, so one suit at list price ships free. Several one-pieces were 30% off when we checked, such as the Geo Flower High Neck at $77. What Roxy publishes less of is fit engineering: there is no support rating, long torso version or compression claim on the featured suit. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not try the suits on.

Vitamin A is the premium pick for women who care what their suit is made of. The Ada Underwire One Piece Swimsuit costs $185 in the brand's EcoRib, a ribbed fabric of 84% Repreve nylon and 16% Lycra spandex. Vitamin A says the Repreve yarns are recycled from pre-consumer fabric and yarn waste. The suit has an underwire for support, darts and a clean front to shape the line, a high-cut leg, and adjustable straps with a tie-back. Bikini pieces start lower, at $90 for the California High Leg bottom, and the site runs a Second Life Program for used pieces. The limits are the price, a size run of XS to XL on the featured suit, and care: hand wash cold and dry flat. Shipping is free on orders of $150 or more within the contiguous US, which a one-piece clears. It is a strong choice for a suit you plan to keep for years rather than a budget spare. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not try the suits on.

Hunza G is the fashion pick. Its suits use Original Crinkle, a textured stretch fabric of 97% polyamide and 3% elastane, and almost every style is sold in one size that the brand says fits UK 6 to 18, or US 2 to 14. The Square Neck Swim, its signature one-piece, comes in a Classic fit or a Coverage fit with more seat coverage, with medium bust support, in more than 35 colors and metallic finishes. Unlike most premium swimwear, it can be machine washed in warm water. Returns are free worldwide within 30 days if labels and hygiene tags are intact, and US express shipping costs $9.99, free over $300. The price is the obstacle: $255 for a one-piece, the most on this list, and women above a US 14 are outside the stated fit range. It suits a buyer who wants one distinctive suit rather than a set of everyday ones. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not try the suits on.

Tory Burch is the designer choice for women who want a classic tank suit with a recognizable finish. The Clip Tank Swimsuit, which the brand calls one of Tory's vacation favorites, costs $240 and adds clip hardware to the front straps. Inside is a shelf bra with flexible side stays, a detail that gives more structure than a plain lined suit. The shell is 73% recycled nylon and 27% Lycra elastane, the lining 72% recycled nylon and 28% Lycra elastane, and the cut has medium back coverage. Sizes run XS to XL, and the product page says reviews suggest it fits true to size. Shipping and returns are free within the continental US with no minimum, the most generous terms on this list. Against that, $240 buys two Summersalt or Andie suits at list price, the size range is narrow, and the suit is hand wash only. It makes most sense as a long-lasting resort suit.
