It's that time of year when we start to get bombarded with
ads about getting "beach body ready." Well guess what? Your body
is ready for the beach just as it is. All you need is the perfect plus size swimwear that feels right for you! There's a variety of
retailers making plus size swimwear in a range of styles. Whether your
aesthetic is total beach goth or sultry poolside goddess, chances are you
can find what you're looking for!
Because I get asked about plus size swimwear so often, I wanted to put together an online shopping guide. The below list is in alphabetical order and while it's certainly not completely exhaustive, there's definitely a range of sizes, budgets and styles represented in this list. To the best of my knowledge, I've included sizing and pricing information and any other key details that may factor into your decision of where to shop. The pictures represent only a sampling of each retailer's offerings so make sure you click the links to check each site out!
This post contains some affiliate links and I'll earn a small commission if you shop through them. This is one of the ways I can continue to bring you amazing content! All of these items are available in plus sizes. Some of them are also available in straight sizes (hence the straight size models). Prices and size ranges subject to change.
I have personally tried bathing suits from quite a few of these
retailers so if you have any specific questions, leave a comment below or hit
me up on social media (@readytostare) and I'm happy to help. Now go forth and
shop!
