Knowing exactly which are the best swimsuits on Amazon will totally transform your holiday wardrobe. It might be the place you go for tech and beauty deals, but this season's collection is one of the most extensive we've come across, with styles to suit all shapes and sizes.
Choosing the right swimwear for your body shape can take time, so start by thinking about the overall look you want to achieve – ruffles at the bust will help to add curves, while high-waisted swimwear will help to contour your shape.
But the most important thing is to feel comfortable and confident in your chosen piece – and the variety of swimsuits on Amazon offers a good chance of finding just that.
As with the best handbags on Amazon, and the best jeans on Amazon, there are some really good swimwear brands on offer. From one-pieces and bikinis, to swimming dresses and boyleg swimsuits, Amazon has flattering cuts in a good range of sizes, and some really pretty colourways that will have you looking and feeling your very best.

FAQS
How to choose swimwear on Amazon
Why you can trust Woman & Home Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about how we test.
One of the great things about shopping for swimwear on Amazon is the filters. Once you've searched for, say, tummy control swimsuits, you can filter by brand, price, colour, size, customer reviews and many more. The sheer amount of product on Amazon can feel incredibly overwhelming, so the trick is to filter as much as you can.
Customer reviews are there for a reason. More often than not there will be plenty of customers discussing their experiences - good and bad - to help you make a more informed decision. Rarely do you get so much first-hand experience on other retailers so make the most of it.
It's also worth consulting our guide on how to pick the right swimwear for your body shape before you start. What works for an apple doesn't necessarily flatter a pear, plus you could also think about what colour suits me? to make a really informed decision.
There really is a style and cut to suit everyone. Andréa Bernholtz, founder of Swiminista, says "When it comes to choosing the perfect swimwear for different body shapes, it's important to find designs that offer support and a personalised fit. Look for tops with molded cups and a deep V-neckline to enhance your cleavage, and bottoms with adjustable side designs to ensure a comfortable and flattering fit. One-piece swimsuits with customisable ties can also provide lift and support, while low-cut V-necklines add a touch of sexiness."
Finally, think about what you'll be wearing it for. You'll be asking a lot more of a swimsuit to wear for water sports than you would of a one-piece you'll pack for a week of lounging around by the pool.
Is swimwear on Amazon any good?
You'd be forgiven for not thinking of Amazon as the first place to go to for swimwear. But the retail giant's fashion collection, particularly swimwear, this season is surprisingly good. And very affordable. There are a number of highly rated swimwear brands that sell on Amazon, many of which we have listed in the gorgeous options above. These include:
- CUPSHE – A hugely popular swimwear brand on Amazon, CUPSHE has everything from high-waisted bikinis and tummy controlled one-pieces, to elegant kimonos and beach dresses
- La Blanca – Another very popular brand, La Blanca swimwear comes highly recommended, with flattering cuts and a good range of sizes
- Freya – The most gorgeous selection of bikini tops and bottoms, as well as other swimwear types, many of which are perfect for women with a fuller bust
- Curvy Kate – specialises in plus size, and comes highly recommended for it's stylish and sexy swimwear range
The best things about buying on Amazon is how easy it is, particularly if you have Amazon Prime membership, which often means you can get things delivered either the same or next day.
How do you know if a swimsuit is good quality?
Quality is all in the cut and fabric for swimwear. You want a material that feels thick, and holds it shape however much you stretch it, so look out for elastane. It's ideal because it stretches and moves with you, plus it has moisture-wicking properties and dries quickly. The cut should flatter you, and you want to feel supported at all times too.
Amazon also makes it really easy to return items too, so the buying process from start to finish - or return - is completely hassle-free. Briefs, swimsuits and bikini bottoms should be tried on over underwear, without removing the protective adhesive strip.
