These 13 Swimsuits From Nordstrom Will Keep You Covered Up, but They're Still Sexy as Hell

A classic scoop-neck one-piece ($37) gets a pretty, feminine update with ruffled straps, floral embroidery, and open stitching.

Modest doesn't always have to mean a conservative one-piece. If you prefer wearing a bikini, this top ($68) and matching bottoms ($64) still offer plenty of coverage, with the higher cut of both the v-neck and waist rise, but never cross over into "matronly" territory thanks to the cool texture mix of crochet and netting.

Statement details, including exaggerated ruffle sleeves and varied stripes, give a fresh nautical update to this moderate-coverage one-piece ($175).

This modern one-piece ($117) keeps you fully covered from bust to bottom, save for a small cutout in the back, but compensates with a striking cobalt hue that will surely turn heads.

A straight-cut, longline bikini top ($110) and hipster bottoms ($86) are good options that provide more coverage than your average bikini. Here, the embroidered smocking, tasseled straps, and gingham print bring a youthful vibrancy that balances out the modest cut.

With its high neck and full coverage to the back, this black one-piece ($148) may be demure, but the side cutouts add just the right amount of allure.

If you're looking for coverage up top, try this striped one-piece ($60) that features off-the-shoulder sleeves. The excess fabric of the flirty ruffle contrasts the cheekier cut of the bottom.

Conversely, if you prefer a plunging front and back but want to keep it modest from the waist down, this dotted one-piece ($158) is the ideal option. The cascading ruffled neckline perfectly accentuates your décolletage.

Even bikinis can be buttoned up — literally. The snap buttons, stretchy ribbed fabric, and straightforward silhouette on this bikini top ($76) and coordinating bottoms ($58) give the set function and support while keeping you moderately covered up.

Unfussy is the best route to go when you're engaged in water activities, and this one-piece ($88) is about as easy and functional as it gets. With its scoop-neck, full-coverage cut, you know this piece will stay put when you're getting active, but the mustard hue and lace-up detail keep it on-trend.

More "two-piece set" than "bikini," this swim pairing consists of a wrap top ($135) (with sleeves!) and high-waisted bottoms ($120) to keep you covered up. Not only is the fluttery wrap style ultra flattering, but the vibrant magenta shade also keeps it playful.

Between the clean cut, strappy back, fire-engine-red hue, and skinny waist belt, this one-piece ($137) is straight out of a Bond film. It just goes to show you don't have to bare a ton of skin in order to be a sophisticated and sexy leading lady.

A retro-inspired number is probably the most modest you can go in a bikini. Even still, this top ($88) and high-waisted bottoms ($88) are anything but dowdy with the ruffled trim and bold stripes.
