We’re Calling It: J.Crew Is the No. 1 Best Place to Buy Swimwear

1. Ruched Bandeau One-piece Swimsuit

Universally Flattering

This ruched one-piece is one of the brand’s absolute best-sellers summer after summer, and for good reason. The simple fit is supremely flattering on every body type (it also comes with a halter strap if you’d prefer some extra support up top) and even comes in a Long Torso length. Plus, there are ten colors and multiple prints—like classic gingham, Liberty florals, leopard spots and nautical stripes—to choose from.

^{Size range: 0 to 24, also Long Torso}

2. String Bikini Top And String Hipster Bottom

Classic String Bikini

You can never go wrong with a minimalist string bikini, and this one hits that Goldilocks point between showing ample skin without giving away the whole farm, so you’ll still feel secure as you avoid obvious tan lines.

^{Size range: XXS to 3X}

3. Ruched V-neck One-piece Swimsuit

Best for Long Torsos

There are a bunch of long torso-accommodating one-pieces available at J.Crew, but this sexy plunge silhouette is perhaps the most flattering of all. Why? The deep V and higher-cut legs help break up your frame better than a halter-neck or scoop ever could.

^{Size range: 0 to 16, also Long Torso}

4. Bow One-shoulder One-piece

Best for Short Torsos

Truth be told, this suit will look lovely on everyone, but the fact that the shoulder strap is fully adjustable means you can tighten it as much as needed to make it fit your shorter frame. As an added bonus, one-shoulder suits are great for creating the illusion of a longer, leaner silhouette.

^{Size range: 0 to 24}

5. Strappy-back Triangle Bikini And Curved-waist Cheeky Bottom

Trendiest Two-Piece

This strappy little bikini can be tied numerous ways around your torso, or just looped right under your bust if you’re worried about wayward tan lines. And that beautiful floral print goes just as well with a solid bottom in navy, pink or even yellow if you want to add some extra coverage on bottom.

^{Size range: XXS to XL}

6. Knot-front One-piece

Trendiest One-Piece

Another hot ’22 trend is the peek-a-boo cutout. This one-piece has removeable straps so you can rock it as a bandeau or regular one-piece and the cut-outs are strategically placed to cinch your waist.

^{Size range: 0 to 20}

7. Underwire Bikini Top And Tie High-rise Bottom In Seersucker

Best Retro Design

This retro set is majorly flattering, and while there are solid-hued versions to shop (and numerous other prints), we prefer the classic blue-and-white seersucker material which really amps up those vintage vibes.

^{Size range: 32A to 42DD}

^{Size range: XXS to 3X}

8. Cross-front Cheeky Bikini Bottom

Most Flattering Bottom

We have to credit a different brand, Aerie, for making this cross-front waistband go viral a few years back. But we adore J.Crew’s take on the super-popular design, which features a higher leg cut to help make you look long and lean. The rise also hits at just the right point—not too high, not too low—to really nip in your waist.

^{Size range: XXS to 3X}

9. French Bikini Top

Most Flattering Top

This simple cut, inspired by bikinis first made popular on the beaches in southern France, works well with so many different body types and bust sizes. In fact, the top two reviews are from women with a 32A cup and a 34D cup, both of whom rave about how well this bikini fits their chests. Seriously, we highly suggest picking up one of each color to mix and match with other solid bottoms for a cute colorblocked effect.

10. Active Longline Swim Top And Active Swim Bike Short

Best for Beach Sports

For the gal looking to break a sweat before taking a dip, J.Crew recently increased its active swim offerings to include the supportive racerback top and bike shorts shown above. Best of all, they’re made from a quick-drying material that’s comfortable for just about any workout—a run along the beach, poolside Pilates, etc.—and­ in the pool or ocean.
