RRP: £80 | This swimsuit is certainly one of the best bathing suits for women over 50. It has a deep V-neck and playful red and blue pattern that gives off that boho aesthetic. The strategically placed waistband cinches in the right areas to accentuate your waistline and smooth out your natural curves, making it an ideal choice for women who want to look confident and stylish in their swimwear.

Does Boden swimwear come up small?
When choosing any swimwear, fit is crucial, and Boden's pieces are no exception. They do tend to fit true to size; however, if you are in-between sizes, we would recommend sizing up. There is nothing worse than squeezing into a swimsuit, causing you discomfort throughout your leisurely activities. We all know the dreaded feeling of wearing a swimsuit that is small, so if in doubt, size up!
