Stay Chic (and Supported!) All Summer Long With These 25 Bathing Suits for Big Busts
These ultra-flattering suits sacrifice nothing in style.
There is no worse beach buzzkill than not feeling comfortable in your bathing suit. For that reason, there are so many things to consider when choosing one: Comfort, style and most importantly...support.
That rings even more true when you have a large bust. Every body is a beach body, but unless you're planning a trip to a nude beach (which we are all for!) chances are you're looking for a suit that will stand up to waves, wind and just walking around.
Swim options have thankfully taken an upward turn in recent years. There are many more suits to choose from for every single body type, offering ample support without sacrificing style. Sturdy straps, form-fitting underwire and bra-style sizing are all key elements in picking a great swimsuit for larger chests, and the below 25 fit the bill. Plus, they're all extremely cute too.
Check out our picks for 25 best swimsuits for big busts below.
