As if swimsuit shopping wasn’t complicated enough already, great swimwear options seem to dwindle for anyone with a larger bust. Finding a suit that can lift and support you is seemingly impossible—let alone finding one that fits well, falls in line with the latest swimwear trends, and is (obviously) cute. Thankfully, we have a ton of options now, from classic underwire and lined bikini tops to compression suits that are anything but boring—all in addition to zip-front styles that make getting into the suit a breeze.
If you’re not sure where to start when looking for swimsuits for bigger busts, the key is to look for adjustable straps and closures to help create the perfect fit while also going for scoop and plunge necklines that will accentuate your body and support your chest. Whether you’re looking for a minimalist maillot for the beach or a cheeky set for the pool—or anything in between, we’ve got you covered. Here, the best swimsuits for big boobs—because now, it’s time to finally book that vacation the group chat has been plotting since last fall.
Pros
- Lined with removable soft cups
Cons
- Hand wash only
This one-piece wonder is, as one reviewer put it, the best “non-basic basic.” Shirring through the waist is great for those who hate too-taut one-pieces (especially after getting wet), and the scooped neck and molded, soft cups (that are removable) are great for giving (and keeping) shape.
Sizes: 2-16
Colors: 11 options
Materials: 83% nylon, 17% elastane
Customer review: “I had two concerns when purchasing this suit—as a 32F I typically look for suits that are sold by cup size and I also tend to buy swimsuits with a pattern, hoping that will provide camouflage. Quite surprisingly this suit was both flattering and supportive. Even without an underwire of molded cups, it kept everything in place.”
Pros
- Wide-set straps
- UPF 50 protection
Cons
- Runs small
Available in 53 sizes (Cuup will calculate your sizing based on your cup size, from 30-44 band and A-H cup size), this super cute balconette is a perfect addition to your swim wardrobe.

Customer review: “This is the most flattering swimsuit I've ever owned. It has a great look and fit and it’s sturdy and tight to me. I can be active and play sports with it on and not worry about anything coming out. I loved it so much I had to buy it in another color and if I could I'd buy all the colors. I get a lot of compliments in it. The bust is very supportive.”

Materials: 80% recycled nylon, 20% spandex
Customer review: “This may be my favorite Andie yet! I have worn it over and over - as soon as it is out of the washer, it's back in rotation. I love how the straps are adjustable and the shelf bra situation is sturdy and comfortable - the band goes across just the front, with light seaming down the center, on the inside of the suit.”
Pros
- Keyhole detail

If you’re looking to break out of the monotony of wearing the same style of suits, why not try a basic with an extra keyhole detail?
