Aerie review

Aerie earns the top spot because it pairs the lowest verified full-price one-piece on this list with the return terms that matter most for swimwear. Several full coverage one-pieces, including the Ruched, Strappy and Gingham Halter styles, were listed at $54.95 on Aerie's US site in November 2026. Aerie's return policy gives a full refund within 30 days of purchase or merchandise credit within 60 days, with 7 extra days for online orders. Online returns normally cost $5, but Aerie swimsuits are named as an exception, so sending back a suit that does not fit costs nothing. Purchases made on or after October 23 can be returned through February 1, 2027. The one-piece range is filtered by coverage (Full, Cheeky and Cheekiest), which makes it quick to narrow by how much coverage you want. The trade-off is range: Aerie mostly sells its own designs, plus a few exclusives such as The Andie styles at $122 and up. Swimsuits must be returned with hygienic liners in place.
