“This suit provides an amazing fit with a flattering style, for under $100,” says Suzie Welsh, a fertility nurse and founder of Binto Supplements. Plus, the swimsuits made in a sustainable manner — the company uses recycled materials for their fabrics and product packaging.
“I like that Old Navy’s suits are fashionable without breaking the bank. I can wear them a few times this summer and not feel guilty getting some new suits next season,” says Stacey Feintuch, a journalist in New Jersey. This fun, colorful suit that also offers UPF 40+ protection.
“I don’t play around, and these suits offer great coverage and pretty patterns,” says Taylor, who swims and competes in triathlons. With an antimicrobial lining and a durable, chlorine-proof fabric that lasts for up to 300 hours of performance, this suit is the perfect choice for ladies who love to swim.
“This suit may look flirty and flower-y, but it stands up to any type of watersport — from swimming to surfing to stand-up paddleboarding,” says Ashley Battersby, a yoga instructor and owner of State of Mind Studio. Plus, the adjustable ties let you customize your fit.
“I love this one-piece I just bought this summer. It has ruching in the tummy and waist area with a sweetheart neckline, and has been very comfortable and forgiving for a growing belly this summer (I’m pregnant!). I look forward to wearing next summer, too.” — Diana Kelly Levey, health writer and editor
“This swimsuit feels like you’re wearing your favorite sports bra at the beach — but on your entire body” says Ashley Ross, a health editor. The style is sexy for sure, but the chlorine-resistant, UPF 50+ material is both technical and supportive enough for athletic pursuits.
