Shopping for the perfect swimsuit for your body type [1] can feel daunting. So many factors come into play, whether you have a big bust or an athletic build, or you're looking for something to hide your tummy, the search can be time-consuming. Being petite or on the shorter side can also be difficult to shop for, because not all one-pieces [2] are made for smaller torsos or legs.
To make sure you find one that's perfect, we went on a mission to uncover the absolute best swimsuits for petite girls this season. Some of our finds are actually made for petites, while others are silhouettes that we recommend to help flatter your body and help elongate your lines. From high-waisted bikinis to one-pieces [3] that will actually fit, there's no shortage of good choices ahead. We included a lot of ruffles, fun prints, and strategically placed cutouts that help add volume where you need it most. Keep reading to shop our hottest picks for summer and find your match.
