What is the most flattering swimsuit?

15 things to look for to ensure the most flattering swimsuit
Swimsuit shopping can be daunting. It’s probably my least favorite thing to wear. To help find styles you’ll feel more confident in, consider these 15 things when shopping for a new swimsuit or sorting through your old ones. It might have been your sexiest one piece swimsuit a couple of years ago but if it’s grey and the elastic’s gone it’s not going to do you any favors. Here’s some tips on what to look for when shopping for the most flattering swimsuits:
- Look for more matte materials. Shiny lycra tends to be less forgiving unless it’s metallic black.
- Look for darker colors. White and pastels are super pretty but harder to pull off. Plus dark colors are less likely to be see through when wet!
- Belted one piece swimsuits create a waist line and shape. Chain belts are eternally chic and in style for 2024.
- Make sure your bathing suit fits you perfectly for the most flattering fit. Especially if it’s a compression swimsuit. Too big it’s not going to offer as much compression, too small it’s not going to be comfortable.
- Look for details that highlight your best features e.g crystals or ruffles around the bust.
- Ruffle or cap sleeves are super cute if you’re self conscious about your upper arms.
- Diagonal lines are more flattering than horizontal lines.
- Colorblocking is great for slimming with a lighter color on top and darker color from the ribs down.
- Supportive material like tummy control, double-layered fabric and underwiring are great for comfort, support and added confidence.
- Strategic coverage. Think cap sleeves, high-waisted bottoms, a ruched swimsuit and a bust line that makes you feel your best.
- Look for high cut styles to make your legs look longer for the most flattering swimsuits.
- Ditch any of your old faded swimsuits. Especially where the elastics gone and they’re sagging.
- Adjustable straps are a great feature for getting a better fit.
- Consider your body shape. What looks good on one person doesn’t suit everyone so play around with cuts and colors.
- See what other online reviewers are saying and don’t just trust in what’s trending on TikTok!

25 most flattering swimsuits for 2024
If you’re looking for new swimsuits, I’ve scoped out everything from modest flattering styles with support to the best compression swimsuits and the sexiest one piece swimsuits 2024.
From ruffles to minimalist, full coverage to sexy, strategic cut outs in all the right places, blacks to bright swimsuits to make you feel confidently beautiful. I’ve tried to include as much variety as possible, as the perfect swimsuit is different for everyone.
They also vary in support from extra support and compression fabric to others that are just a great choice if you’re looking for more coverage or sculpting.
I ordered 5 different swimsuits from Revolve swimwear, 1 from Moschino, 1 from Versace and 2 from Summersalt to update my swimwear collection (photos and videos below). There’s nothing flattering about faded swimwear where the elastics not what it was.
Apparently, everyone else is stocking up early too as some of these are selling out fast so get in while you can. Although Revolve are pretty good about restocking so definitely hit the back in stock notification if a style you love is out of stock.

I know I said to avoid shiny material as a rule of thumb but some rules are made to be broken. The reason this shiny lycra swimsuit works as a flattering one piece swimsuit is because of the ruching and super high cut leg. It can ride up a bit at the front and back so you might want to size up.
