If you prefer a fitted appearance, add a belt for even more style points. Top off the look with gladiator sandals — and voilà. You're glamorous yet practical, which is one of the best combinations around. "I bought this to go to Belize. I do not do hot weather, so this looked like it would be perfect as a bathing suit cover or dress. I was right. It is one of the coolest (temp cool) dresses I’ve ever bought," one customer pointed out.

If you're the type of person who prefers a modest suit, why not try this elegant swim dress as a solution? It has a '50s-inspired vibe to it — think Marilyn Monroe — with soft push-up cups (ideal for supporting a larger chest), wrap waist, and a flared mini skirt — with shorts underneath! The back features thick racerback straps that are comfortable, meaning they won’t dig into your skin. One shopper noted “it has a cute pin-up girl style to it,” while another commented that “the fabric is good quality, thick, stretchy, and soft against the skin.”

Attention: This isn’t your typical boring one-piece swimsuit. Hilor’s unique style has a mesh inset band that draws the eye to your waist, while the top supports with or without its removable padding. Then, the strappy criss-cross front frames your face while elevating the suit in a way that looks expensive. “Ladies, JUST BUY IT ALREADY! You could pay $150 for a comparable one at Nordstrom, or spend $30 and have more money to spend on accessories,” one calculating shopper noted.

Cute, comfy, and easy to wear, this IBIZA VIBE two-piece swimsuit will look fabulous on just about anyone. Here's why: The scoop-neck top has a similar silhouette to a loungewear bralette with adjustable straps that accommodate multiple cup sizes. Then, the high-waisted bottom pairs an '80s cut with a cheeky backside. “The Frankie’s top alone was $95 so $19 for a set is amazing,” one shopper wrote. Another stated that “I have never felt more cute [...] in a swimsuit in my life!! GET IT!!” Pick between three tie-dye variations, including cocoa brown (shown), emerald, and pastel.

All right, my friends: This fiercely beloved swimsuit is a happy compromise between a triangle string bikini and a full-on tankini — and I’m so here for it. The halter top's wide elastic band under the bust gives larger cup sizes the support they deserve while the full-coverage briefs have a similar wide, high waistband with a sash tie for emphasis. “This bathing suit is AMAZING! I have not worn a two-piece in almost 5 years. I'm a size 18 with 40DDD. The top provides the support I need and I love the high-waisted bottoms,” one reviewer remarked.

Available in a rainbow of colors and festive prints, this Daci one-piece swimsuit is a phenomenal summer buy. “The quality is amazing, and it fits like a glove,” one fan raved. The ruched V neckline shows a little cleavage, if you want, and the small stomach cut-out (there's also one on the back, by the way) provides peek-a-boo skin exposure without creating wild tan lines. You can also wear it with jeans, because it’s just as versatile as it is comfortable.

Don’t want to rock the same old cover-up all summer long? No sweat — get yourself a light-as-a-feather sarong with endless style mileage. The rayon creation can be tied as a halter, a tube dress, a shawl or even a blanket. That way, you can mix it up and play around with it depending on your mood. “This wrap will also work as a beach towel too for those who like to travel light like me,” one shopper also pointed out. (No wonder it’s an Amazon best-seller.)

One word comes to mind when you see this Bsubseach cover-up: goddess. Detailed in lace and crochet trim, you can rock this baby as an airy cover-up at the pool or worn over some denim shorts and a crop top for daytime hangouts. “Way more than a ‘beach cover up’. This lace jacket can add elegance to a dress or be used to dress up a jeans outfit,” one fan reported.

This lightweight button-down cover-up is rayon instead of cotton, which means it’s moisture-wicking and will keep you cool. There's a deep V neckline, rolled sleeves, and a split high-low hemline to cover the bum while remaining walkable. It can be worn with leggings or bike shorts, too, to run errands. The only downside? It does wrinkle a bit, but that's the nature of the shirt and it can be steamed in minutes if you’re going out later. "I wore it on a trip and it was perfect for multiple delays and reroutes at the airport," one customer added.

One-pieces can be just as hot as bikinis. Case in point: This sporty-chic monokini with a strategically-placed stomach cut-out that frames your tummy while remaining wearable. There's a lace-up back that provides chest support with adjustable spaghetti straps at the shoulders. Plus, the bottom is very high-cut for a long 90s silhouette. “Definitely not a diving competition type suit but the cut out is cute for the beach after eating a churro or two,” one shopper revealed. “Also being a longtime member of the big booty community, I can put my stamp on the non-permanent wedge seal of approval. Stayed where it needed.” My favorite part? All of the bright neon colorways make a tan pop.

Hold up: This bikini outfit (yes, I am declaring this an outfit — not a set) is almost too gorgeous for the beach. It looks like something you'd wear to a fancy dinner al fresco (which is also totally doable, I might add) — except the of-the shoulder crop top is really your bikini top, with frilly ruffles and a wrap design. Now let's talk about the sarong: It has a high-waisted brief bottom underneath in a matching print so you stay totally covered on the beach or at brunch. “There was enough material to cover the girls and my cheeks. And I didn't feel like I was going to have a wardrobe malfunction,” one fan affirmed.

A budget-friendly alternative to SKIMS, this bandeau bikini would definitely receive Kim Kardashian’s seal of approval. The stretchy strapless top is cut from a column of nylon-spandex with no bells and whistles for those who like simpler designs. The cheeky bottom can sit high on your hip for a 90s-inspired leg shape. “I feel like a firey hot mama when I put this thing on. I have NEVER felt so [...] confident, and secure in a swim suit, especially a two piece, in my life. Its was my first experience with a cheeky bottom and let me say....[I’m] living for this suit,” one fan gushed.

Calling all curvier folks again: Daci’s ruched one-piece swimsuit is another style to consider. It has every detail you could ask for, like as a sweetheart neckline with thick straps, ruching, and a push-up top (no wires included). The back has a clasp hook closure that'll be more supportive for bustier chests, as well. “The fit was perfect. Good support for the tatas. I am a 40H and had no problems keeping the girls up. Cinching but not tight,” one customer confirmed. This dark violet color is at the top of my list as it looks luxurious — dare I say regal — but there are also punchier colors and prints for your shopping pleasure.

Look at the full-coverage bottoms and notice that they won't flaunt your cheeks for all to se. “It is super cute, the top drapes very nicely, and the bottoms are high-rise, so between the both pieces, your mid-section is concealed, without looking like you are trying to hide,” one customer explained. “The top has straps that make it adjustable as well, so when we go out in the water to boogie board or kayak, I can tighten the straps, and loosen if we are just lounging on the beach,” they added,
