We shopped the hottest trends of the year, including shimmery styles, cutout one-pieces, bright colorblock finds, and more. We also researched the best sustainable swimwear and the best styles for playing up your curves, along with several other popular search categories, to help you zero in on the perfect silhouette.

Free People Amber One-Piece Swimsuit ($148)

Free People is one of our favorite destinations for shopping out cool beachwear styles. The brand recently debuted its first-ever in-house swimwear line with FP Beach, which features everything from classic one-pieces and cheeky bikinis to a few cutout bathing suits, as well. This sporty one-piece is so comfortable, it even earned a five-star rating from one POPSUGAR editor — read our review of the FP Beach Amber One-Piece Swimsuit to see why.

Editor Quote: "This FB Beach swimsuit is the first style I've ever owned that I feel comfortable and supported enough to wear for it all. The one-piece bathing suit is made from a recycled polyamide and elastane material that has just enough stretch to move around in but is still formfitting enough that it hugs the body and keeps me feeling secure. While the style has a plunging neckline and open-back design, it also comes fitted with adjustable shoulder straps and a tie back, so I can tweak the piece's fit as needed." - Kyley Warren, Assistant Editor, Commerce

Andie Ribbed Wrap Strapless One Piece Swimsuit ($98)

Channel Pamela Anderson in "Baywatch" in this sporty red one-piece swimsuit, featuring a scoop neck and adjustable straps. If the color isn't your style, it comes in a total of six colors and patterns. Read our review of the Andie's famous one-piece swimsuits to see why this style is such an essential.

Editor Quote: "My favorite detail is at the waist. There's a seam beneath the removable cups, a few inches of fabric, and then another seam on the waistline. The ribbed fabric between the seams forms a band that gently hugs my waist and flatters my figure." - Angelica Wilson, Former Associate Editor, Wellness

Solid & Striped The Nina Belt One-Piece ($98, originally $153)

Nothing says high fashion quite like a one-piece swimsuit with a belt accent across the waist, and this body-hugging style from Solid & Striped is one of our favorites. The bathing suit went viral online a few years ago as fashion lovers all geeked out over the piece's luxurious look and reasonable price point. One POPSUGAR editor even detailed her experience wearing the one-piece poolside in this review of the Solid & Striped Belted Swimsuit.

Editor Quote: "Instead of accentuating the parts of my body I don't love so much, it actually cinches my waist and gives me an hourglass figure. It's definitely one of my favorite new one-pieces, and I wear it to the pool weekly. On top of putting my belt resistance to a halt, I also appreciate that this swimsuit has adjustable straps. The ribbed material is quite smoothing and supportive, which is great as well." - Macy Cate Williams, Former Content Director, Commerce
