Finding the perfect swimsuit can feel like a real challenge, and that's why I always go back to this incredibly flattering, comfortable, and affordable one-piece from Amazon. I've worn it the past four summers and, despite researching and testing dozens of bathing suits (it's all a part of my job as a shopping reporter), I've yet to find one I love more.

The style I'm referring to is Hilor's one-shoulder ruffled one piece, which is one of Amazon's best-selling women's swimsuits. The beauty is now on sale for just $34—even though it looks and feels like a $100 department-store find—and it's earned over 8,600 five-star reviews from shoppers who, like me, call it "absolutely amazing."

The affordable suit comes in 44 colors and prints, from classic black and navy to fun patterns like an eye-catching lemon print and a chic tropical palm motif. Thanks to its stretchy fabric, which features a touch of spandex, the suit can be worn all day. Plus, it comes with removable bra padding and subtle bust support.

While all of those features make it stylish and flattering, it's the one-shoulder strap that makes it my favorite. In fact, the neckline is so striking that I like to showcase it by steering clear of dresses and T-shirts that would cover it up. Instead, I pair it with a midi skirt or paper-waist shorts to fashion a complete outfit that makes me feel like a million bucks.

Unlike other swimsuits, which I'm usually itching to get out of after a few hours, this one is polished enough to wear beyond the beach. The versatile number can be worn with cropped jeans, wrap skirts, and denim shorts for a party, a cookout, or even out for dinner. Trust me, you'll get tons of compliments when you style it like a top.

Thousands from Amazon's passionate reviewer community—including both petite and plus-size shoppers—have chimed in to offer similar praise. It's even earned an impressive 4.6-star rating, which just goes to show how much people love it.

"I have finally found a swimsuit that I feel good in," one reviewer wrote. "I don't think that I have ever been able to say that in my life. This suit checks all of the boxes. I was surprised by how nice the material is and overall quality. This suit offers the right amount of coverage in all the right places too. And as others have mentioned, the design creates a slimming silhouette. If you are looking for a suit that will finally make you smile when you put it on, get this one!"
