It is almost SWIM season! It might already be for some of you lucky people who live somewhere super warm! We finally hit the 70s this weekend and we are ready to hit the pool, lake, beach, hot tub, anything outdoors! One of our most popular posts ever is: Best Swimsuits for a Curvy Girl, and I thought I would update that a little with newer pieces and colors but the same silhouettes that are flattering on all body types. Here are the best swimsuits for Spring 2021.

The Best Swimsuits for Spring 2021
One-Pieces
Marina One-Piece
We are obsessed with Summersalt swimsuits. The Marina one-piece is their signature color-blocked swimsuit that is available in so many different combinations and patterns this year! You really can’t go wrong with any option, but I’d be lying if I didn’t admit I’m partial to the leopard (duh). It’s so flattering and makes me feel sexy and confident!

The Perfect Wrap
Wrap dresses and tops are the most flattering, and the same goes for swimsuits! Summersalt’s The Perfect Wrap one-piece is, well, the perfect wrap! It has a plunging neckline for some added flirtation, and the compressive material of this wrap one-piece means everything will stay in place and you’ll feel secure all day long at the pool.

Leopard Wrap
I don’t have the numbers, but I’m willing to bet that this leopard wrap one-piece from Aerie Swim was the best seller of swimsuits last year. I 100% bought into the trend and am so glad I did because it’s truly one of the most flattering one-piece swimsuits I’ve ever worn. Even better? It’s available in even more prints this year!
Waffle Scoop One Piece
This is a great, more modest one-piece swimsuit for pool season 2021. It’s full coverage in front, but scoops in the back for just a little something extra and breathable. Available in both black and a pretty light green!
Strappy Back One Piece
They offered this fun, strappy back one-piece in a bubblegum pink a few years ago – still one of my favorite suits of all time! This year, I finally ordered the black and am eyeing the Chilly Red.
Some Like it Hot
Obsessed with the pattern on this one-piece from Nordstrom! The back and sides feature a faux lace-up detail that is even more eye-catching than the print of this swimsuit.
Square One Piece
You’ve probably already seen this one-size-fits-all, square neck one-piece all over the internet. It’s insanely popular for a reason—it’s the easiest, most flattering one-piece out there! Grab whichever color you can whenever you can because it sells out fast.
Two-Piece
Wide Strap Scoop Top
Another 2021 pool day, another leopard print swimsuit! Love this wide strap scoop neck bikini from Aerie Swim. It runs true to size and has removable pads, too!
Ribbed Longline Scoop Top
I love the simplicity of this ribbed, longline, scoop bikini top. The longline allows a bit more coverage under your boobs and before your belly button, and the style is so comfortable and familiar, like your favorite crop tank top!
Wide Strap Scoop Top Solid
If solid colors are more your style, the wide strap scoop top is also available in black, red, and green!
Crossover High Cut Cheeky
The crossover waistband on these bikini bottoms is the same cut as my favorite leggings from Aerie, so naturally I love them! The crossover high cut is so flattering for the female figure and looks amazing as bikini bottoms.
Ribbed Shine Cheeky
We love a cheeky, high-leg cut bikini bottom! This ribbed pattern is so cute, and it’s elevated a bit with a slight sheen that makes this suit sparkle.
Leopard High Cut Cheeky
The matching cheeky, high leg bikini bottoms to go with the wide strap, scoop top!
Waffle High Cut Cheeky
One more cheeky option with these waffle-textured bikini bottoms! So flattering and available in 6 different colors.
Coverups
Kimono Coverup
Just ordered this because I seriously can’t get over the colors!
Leopard Kimono
This adorable piece is on sale right now, and if you only saw how quickly I added to cart and purchased!
Long Sleeve Oversized Coverup
If you’re into a bit more coverage with a coverup, this long sleeve, oversized is a modest classic that you double as a cute top with a pair of shorts to wear to and from the pool or beach!
Barcelona Dress
Absolutely in love with the belt and button detail on this dress!
Deep V Neck Dress
If you’re more on a dress-as-a-coverup kind of gal, this deep v-neck cover-up from Nordstrom was a best seller last year that’s back for swimsuit season 2021! It comes in both a black and a mauve color, and features gathered shoulders, an easy drawstring waist, and an overlapping side-slit skirt. So good!
Avalon Dress
This is so lightweight and flattering and the print could not be cuter!
Pez Cantina Dress
This is maybe the classiest, most elegant coverup I’ve ever seen, so naturally, I love it. It’s 100% rayon and has an elasticized waist, and basically makes anyone who wears look like a Greek goddess.
Anita Coverup
This coverup from L*SPACE is such an easy, attractive piece and has all the features of a quintessential coverup: sheerness, split hem, button-down, and incredibly lightweight. It comes in black, white, and a gorgeous brown-orange they call “Toasted,” which I love.
