Summer 2019 Hottest Bikinis for All Body Types: Two-Piece Swimsuits for Women


Summer is here, and if you’re hoping to rock bikinis at the beach or pool, then we’re here to help! Summer is the perfect season to show off a bit more skin than usual, and two-piece swimsuits can really help with that. Bikinis are also great to wear when tanning (safely and with sunscreen), because they make sure more of your body gets that gorgeous glow.

In this article, we’ve gathered all of the best bikinis to wear this summer, with reviews that explain how each of these bikinis impacts the figure. I’ve also written a comprehensive guide for how to choose the best bikinis for each body type, with the caveat that at the end of the day you should just wear whatever makes you feel awesome.

I finish things off with a styling guide so you can take your bikinis from the poolside to the streets with the addition of a few simple touches.

8 Hottest Bikinis for Summer 2019
From cute off-the-shoulder designs to gingham and floral patterned options, here we bring you the hottest bikinis to get this summer!

1. Ruffle-Trimmed Bandeau Bikini
This tiny take on two-piece swimsuits is a great way to show off some skin on the beach this summer! The navy ribbed bandeau top in this piece helps to elongate a narrow torso, while the boning inside means that it’ll give support even to women with a larger bust. The high-cut leg makes your legs look impossibly long and sexy.

2. Retro Chic Poppy Bikini
If you like a retro feel with a modern silhouette, this is one of the best bikinis for you. The polka-dot print and the ribbon at the center of the bandeau top are all about that old-school cute, while the angular cut of the bottom shows some skin in a modern way that creates the illusion of a curvier lower half. 

3. Limoncello Bandeau Bikini
Combining a bandeau design with lemon prints here has led to one of the best bikinis for those who want just a hint of femininity. This supportive bandeau top is excellent for elongating the torso, while the bright print and slinky design of the bottoms make the behind look full and the legs elongated. 

4. Floral Bombshell Bikini
We’ll admit that this is one of the more daring two-piece swimsuits we’ve seen, less so because of the cut, and more so because of the design, which evokes lingerie. The delicate material and scalloped lace enhance the bust, so they’re an excellent choice for women with a small chest or a more athletic frame. 

5. Off-the-Shoulder Gingham Bikini
The off-the-shoulder trend is still going strong during this summer, so you can’t go wrong with this fun yellow swimsuit. The ruffled design is great for emphasizing the bust, while the sleeves are very forgiving for the arms. The bottoms give the hips a rounder shape, so they are great for women wanting to emphasize an hourglass figure. 

6. Sporty Black Two-Piece Swimsuit
Break all of the rules, and get in the water with this unique black two-piece! The one-shoulder top gives amazing support with its sporty cut, while the slinky bottoms help elongate the torso and flatter your curves. 

7. Check Print One-Shoulder Bikini Set
This bikini set is made for those princesses at heart that are looking for the ultimate swimsuit to show off their nature while in the water. The check print in the black and white coloring is just super trendy, while the one-shoulder design and the ruffle details make it ballerina-ready. 

8. Modern Amazonian Bikini
This printed bikini will make you feel like an Amazonian princess, with its dark green and red shade and foliage print reflecting the lush nature of Brazil. The triangle bikini top will emphasize the bust, while the high-rise bottom ties on the front, creating interest and flattering an athletic physique.

Can you really swim in a crocheted bikini?

The question:
I got a beautiful crocheted bikini, but I have absolutely no idea where to wear it. What's it for?
The answer:
For these and other mysteries of the female wardrobe, I turn to my expert friends. Melanie Janisse, a clothing collector with exquisite taste, runs a Toronto vintage store called Pineapple, where she sells handmade Brazilian crochet cotton bikinis for around $90. She says, "You don't swim laps in them, that's for sure. They'd get too heavy. They're for tanning. Or posing – a couple of my clients have been fitness models. Or for just wearing around as tops, with cut-off jean shorts." Why would anyone seek out a swimsuit in which one cannot swim? This any guy can answer: There is something painfully sexy about this item, perhaps because of the promise of disintegration that the strings offer, the chance of glimpsing flesh through the knots, the near-nudity of it. Stick to cotton, though. I have seen wool crochet bikinis in a craft store; they seem a little silly to me (even for posing, wool is rather warm). I think they are meant to be ironic, and ironic dressing is unsexy.

Yes, definitely.
I had a crocheted bikini when I was 10–13.
It had no holes, having been made in a tight stitch. It didn’t show through. It didn’t fall off or move. It didn’t sag or stretch. It was well done. My mother made it for me.
It did gain a lot more weight than a commercial one, mind you. It didn’t stop me from swimming. I can’t conceive going to the beach or pool and not swim; it’s a must. If I hadn’t been able to function in the water with that bikini, I’d never have worn it again after the first time.
It’s worth considering the age, though. I didn’t have a lot of front shelf (or any shelf, for that matter), and that counts. Most crocheted bikinis are designed to adorn you while you sunbathe and that’s it. If you have a crocheted bikini and are unsure about its “swimability”, try it when nobody’s looking.

My past experience with my only crocheted bikini was less than stellar. As mentioned elsewere once in the sea the bra top came off within a very few minutes, followed by the bottoms (whilst I was trying to retrieve the top!) Fortunately this was in Portugal, and since public nudity is OK on their beaches it was “pack this disaster away and only use if for sunbathing”! I still have the offending item - just like the below (but in dark green rather than blue). Undoubtedly comfortable and (seeing as I had to get a child’s size!) pretty minimalist too.

What is a bathing suit?

A bathing suit is an article(s) of clothing in which a person performs (casual) water related activities in. Most commonly used in swimming. Can be used at the pool, beach, hot tub, or any water based activities.A bathing suit is worn to go swimming. They come in so many varieties. If you want to wear as little as possible, you would wear a bikini, which pretty much covers just the private areas. My favorite bathing suit is a tankini. It is a two-piece with a top that covers my whole torso. The bottoms can be bikini bottoms, but my favorite are bottoms that have a skirt as well. I’ve never seen one, but I've heard there are bathing suits that cover from head to toe for modesty. The main thing is the suits need to be made of material that doesn't stretch or lose shape in water.

In the modern era there are some different types of bathing suits are available, It is clothing designed to be worn by people engaging in a water-based activity like swimming and diving. Bathing suit is is also called swimwear, swimsuit, swimming costume, bathing costume, swimming suit.

I just realized I only mentioned women's swimwear. Where I am from, most all the men swim in swimming trunks. They are pretty much like regular shorts, but made of material meant to get wet, and they also have a mesh “underwear” inside to keep everything where it's supposed to be. I have also seen men swim in bikini-style bottoms that only cover the private areas.

My kids wear the same styles of bathing suits as me, with the addition of swim diapers on non-potty trained ones. Swim diapers are made not to absorb a lot of water, but prevent solid waste from getting into the swimming area (in theory anyway).
