The best flattering swimsuits & most elegant styles to wear this Summer
The most flattering swimsuits and swimwear for 2023 are no longer just for women of a certain age or frumpy designs. They’re sexy, chic, fashion forward and made in the most flattering materials and I’m not talking Spanx. These women’s one piece flattering swimsuits are from all of my favorite stores and brands like Moschino, Norma Kamali, River Island, Revolve and Summersalt. Add some slides, gold jewelry and this seasons tote for a stylish poolside or beach look for Summer 2023. I love finding cute flattering one piece swimsuits as I feel so much more confident in them than bikinis. They’re also super easy to throw shorts over and wear as a bodysuit or to grab lunch on vacation.

What is the most flattering swimsuit?
Consider these 11 things to look for below to ensure the most flattering swimsuit. Yes, you can look for swimwear that offers support and compression like Summersalt (use code EVEJS10 for $10 off) but these few tricks are also super helpful and none involve wearing spanx under your swimwear.
11 things to look for to ensure the most flattering swimsuit
- Look for more matte materials. Shiny lycra tends to be less forgiving unless it’s metallic black.
- Look for darker color swimsuits. White and pastels are super pretty but harder to pull off. With the added advantage that they’re less likely to be see through especially when wet!
- Belted one piece swimsuits create a waist line and shape. Plus chain belts are in style for 2023.
- Make sure it fits you. It sounds obvious but make sure it’s not too big or too small for the most flattering fit. Especially if it’s a compression swimsuit. If it’s too big it’s not going to offer as much compression, if it’s 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 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 and underwiring are great for comfort, support and added confidence.
- Strategic coverage. Think cap sleeves 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.
