Available in sizes XS to XXXL (2 to 22).
Known for its wide range of sizing in bras and underwear, Cuup applies the same styles to its line of minimal bikini separates. Like its bras, the balconette, plunge, and scoop-neck bikini tops are designed with lightweight flex wire that doesn’t dig into the skin the way underwire often does—while remaining supportive enough for hours of lounging. Bottoms come in straightforward bikini, brief, and high-waist bikini cuts, as well as a high-rise, vintage-inspired cut called the Tap. All swimwear is created using Econyl, a regenerated nylon fiber made from recycled fishing nets from the ocean, discarded carpet, and pre- and post-consumer waste.
Tops are available in sizes 30A to 38H; bottoms are available in sizes 1/XS to 7/XXXL.
If you already shop at Everlane for high-quality workwear, basics, and transparent pricing, consider adding its swimwear to your cart. You’ll find eco-friendly, sleek one-pieces and mix-and-matchable bikinis in jewel tones and subtle floral prints with varying necklines and cuts. Between us, almost all of it these pieces are versatile enough to be worn in your everyday life too (looking at you, V-neck swimsuit).
Available in sizes XXS to XXL.
Activewear, athleisure, and swimwear brand Girlfriend Collective earns high praise from SELF editors and readers because it embodies many qualities that we support—chiefly, sustainability and accessible sizing. The brand’s bold, bright one-pieces and bikini separates are made of 78% Econyl, spandex, and are UPF 50+ for added sun protection. Setting it apart from many brands, Girlfriend Collective sizing runs up to 6XL across the board. Owing to the brand’s efforts to limit CO2 emissions, shipping is a bit slower than some competitors (7 to 10 business days, roughly), but we think its swimsuits are worth the wait.
Available in sizes XXS to 6XL.

Available in sizes XXS to 3X.

Tops are available in sizes 2 to 14 (with varying cup sizes); bottoms are available in sizes 0 to 14.
Beyond floral frocks and denim staples, turn to Madewell for pretty, printed swimwear from its in-house brand, Second Wave, or from one of its many collaborations with smaller brands like Ookioh and Jade Swim. We love Madewell’s lightweight linen cover-ups too.
