The Ultimate Guide to Finding a Swimsuit That Fits You Right

"The biggest mistake we see women make is opting for a suit that fits 'well enough.' We believe women should hold their swimwear to a higher standard than even their regular clothes, as you are typically at your most publicly exposed. And if you really can't find a suit that fits better than just OK, then you must speak up! Some of our greatest suits to date have been designed with feedback from customers who told us what they were looking for."

"Bra size is a great place to start when buying a suit. Depending on the shape, placement, and fullness of your chest, certain styles will work better than others, but a bra size should definitely help you figure out what swimsuit top size you are."

"Our bestselling suit is the Lynn ($375), because of the sporty high neck and side coverage, and the back of the suit is unattached. The Lynn fits many bust sizes and torso lengths. The cutouts hit right at a flattering spot on a the ribcage, making this suit sporty and sexy without being too flashy or too covered."

The Lynn with a sash ($238, originally $475), pictured here, is part of the Flagpole x Oscar de la Renta collaboration.

"Always look for suits with removable cups and adjustable straps. Having options to cater to fit is always helpful when you can't try it on in the store and are unfamiliar with a brand. Don't get carried away analyzing the models on the website. Use them to check out the construction and design details, but don't get bogged down comparing yourself, and remember that every body is different. Also, try experimenting with different styles and sizes. Most companies offer free or discounted shipping to allow you to try lots of suits. You deserve a well-fitting suit that suits your style."
