Summer is officially here. Tropical vacations, trips to the beach, and oh-so wonderful summer Fridays are looming large on your calendar, but there is one problem: you have nothing to wear.
Finding a swimsuit for summer should be simple, but with the plethora of styles on the market, settling on the right fit is more difficult than blending in mineral sunscreen. Everyone's swimsuit-coverage comfort zone is different. While some feel confident sunbathing in a stringy two-piece bikini, others may prefer lounging on the beach with the added security of a one-piece.
We rounded up a range of styles and fits so you can feel confident and comfortable no matter where this summer takes you.
For Full Coverage
While this option is still a two-piece, it delivers far more coverage than your average tankini. The tie top offers thicker straps for ample support, and the loose fit feels more like a T-shirt than a clingy swimsuit.
The black bottoms are made in an opaque material, so you can wear wet or dry without worry. The versatile color and style easily mix and match with other items in your swim-drobe.

For Medium-to-Full Coverage
This option delivers the coverage of a traditional one-piece with a few stylish touches. The comfy ribbed fabric means no itching once you get out of the water. Not to mention, the keyhole ring positioned just below the chest offers a flirty but tasteful touch. We recommend styling with your favorite pair of sunnies and a neutral-colored sarong.

For Medium Coverage
This is not your grandmother's one-piece. Instead, this most likely belongs to her bold, risk-taking granddaughter. While the cutout around the middle is not for the faint of heart, the detailing around the straps and the medium coverage bottoms offer more support than a traditional bikini.

For Minimal Coverage
If traditional bikinis are more your style, look no further. The ruffled, bra-like top holds in your chest. Unlike most bikini styles, this one is sized like a bra, so you can find a customized fit. Bonus: the bow-tie straps add a dainty touch.
The ruched detailing down the center of the bikini bottoms plumps and rounds your behind, but our favorite perk is its stretch.

For Itty-Bitty Coverage
For those with smaller chests, the adjustable straps in the top create a custom fit. We love the triangle cutout between the chest, and the V-shaped hem along the bottom provides a flirty, fun feel. Available in bright neons or traditional black-and-white for easy mixing and matching.
