5 best plus-size swimsuits from Old Navy, according to someone who wears a size 2XL

Yahoo17-07-2025
Shopping for swimsuits can be challenging, especially if you're plus-size. You want something that's both comfortable and cute, but still supportive for larger chests and frames. As a size 2XL, I've struggled to find the sweet spot. As an Old Navy sales associate, one of the perks of my job is being able to try on swimsuits and see which ones work for my body. Luckily for me, and for anyone looking for a flattering plus-size swimsuit, there are a ton of great options at Old Navy right now. I tried on five plus-size swimsuits from Old Navy for summer, and below, I've shared my thoughts on each. To see how they fit and shop them on sale (starting from just $11!), scroll below.
Matte One-Piece Swimsuit
Tie-Front Swim Cover-Up
Matte Cutout Back One-Piece Swimsuit
Textured Swim Top
Textured One-Piece Balconette Swimsuit
Matte One-Piece Swimsuit
This one-piece is practical, simple and a great option to wear for a beach day. I love the cut and style, and I also like that you can pair it with shorts or a skirt, too. It is more snug, so I suggest sizing up if you prefer more breathing room around the chest and waist. I also found the straps to be slightly tight around the shoulders.
Matte One-Piece Swimsuit
Tie-Front Swim Cover-Up
This is such a cute swimsuit. I love that it isn't your usual bikini top, and I also love that you don't need to worry about it getting wet. It's a stylish option for the beach, and it's also perfect to pair with a skirt or shorts to a pool party or a barbecue. The only thing I'd mention is the fit of the top. It is a bit tight. So, I suggest sizing up if you prefer more coverage around the chest.
Tie-Front Swim Cover-Up
Matte Cutout Back One-Piece Swimsuit
I love the cut of this one-piece. The back strings may make you hesitate, but they genuinely do work with the overall fit. The cut around the chest is super flattering, and I love pairing it with all of my skirts. It's also very true to size, so no need to size up at all. I accidentally did, and it was a bit loose around the bottom and chest. That said, you might even prefer to size down for a tighter fit.
Matte Cutout Back One-Piece Swimsuit
Textured Swim Top
This bikini top is very comfortable and I love how it holds my chest in place. The overall fit isn't too tight or loose, and the straps also fit well. The only thing I'd be mindful of is the lock at the back. It doesn't stay in place, but it still does its job.
Textured Swim Top
Textured One-Piece Balconette Swimsuit
This one-piece is so figure-flattering and the underwire support is much appreciated, especially as someone who is heavier-chested. It does run a bit large, so sizing down might be ideal. Other than that, this is a great option to wear to the pool or pack on an overnight trip.

Awesome JAWS Poster Art From Artist Tyler Stout Pays Tribute To Quint — GeekTyrant

I had to share this great Jaws print with you that was created by artist Tyler Stout. This was a limited edition Comic-Con exclusive of only 150 prints. They sold out at the event, but I managed to score one, and this is a beautiful peice! The poster was created for CODA Gallery. Quint, the rugged shark hunter from, is one of the most unforgettable characters in cinematic history. Played masterfully by Robert Shaw, Quint is the epitome of grit and resilience, an old-school seaman with a weathered exterior and a deep-rooted trauma that fuels his obsession. What makes Quint such a powerful character isn't just his fearlessness or bravado, but the depth of his past, especially the haunting USS Indianapolis monologue that reveals the true horror he's lived through. He's not just a shark hunter; he's a man shaped by survival, driven by vengeance, and unwilling to back down. His intensity, gruff charm, and unwavering determination make him a compelling force in the story and the emotional anchor of the film's tension.

How a Veteran Lifeguard Spends His Fridays

Javier Rodriguez is a beach creature. Even after having dedicated more than 40 years to being a lifeguard, first as a 17-year-old growing up on the Lower East Side and now as a lifeguard coordinator for the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation, his ideal day is still spent in and around water. And that includes starting every morning with a swim at his neighborhood pool in Queens. 'I love swimming — it's great exercise,' said Mr. Hernandez, 64, who is responsible for training and mentoring lifeguards and running the department's qualifying exams for the city's 53 outdoor pools and 14 miles of beaches. From February through June, he teaches classes for new guards, and then in the spring and summer, he conducts a flurry of certification and re-certification exams. During high season in May and June ('It's like tax season,' he said), he may oversee more than 150 tests a week, racking up hundreds of miles on his 2019 Chevrolet Impala shuttling between Queens, a testing site at the Chelsea Recreation Center and the beach in the Rockaways, where he is based. 'It's always good to hear when a kid tells me that they had their first rescue and that they were able to apply what they learned at the lifeguard school,' said Mr. Rodriguez, who has also been a lifeguard training instructor for the Parks Department since the mid-1990s. Mr. Hernandez lives in a four-bedroom home in Floral Park, Queens, with his wife of 32 years, Fleurette Rodriguez, 62, a flight attendant for Delta Air Lines. They have three adult children: Olivia Hernandez, 30, an emergency medical technician for the New York Fire Department; Antonio Hernandez, 28, who works for a beverage distribution company in Rochester, N.Y.; and Sophia Hernandez, 25, who will soon begin medical school at Touro University in Henderson, Nev.

Jenna Ortega's Bad Plastic Surgery Makeover Might Be The Right Career Move

Celebrities have been destroying their faces with plastic surgery for as long as Hollywood has existed, but it's never been dumber and more unnecessary than it is now. This is the week Sydney Sweeney is being celebrated for her natural genes, and Pam Anderson is making a comeback in her 50s by, shockingly, just looking like a woman in her 50s who is aging naturally. That current cultural direction makes it particularly bad timing for Wednesday star Jenna Ortega to show up on the red carpet looking like she hired a plastic surgeon to dump bleach on her face and take a chisel to her cheekbones. People were going to notice. Accounts on X, who claim to be doctors, are accusing her of getting Buccal fat removal done. This cosmetic surgery reduces cheek fullness by extracting fat pads from the lower face. However, it is entirely possible that she hasn't used a hatchet on her head and that this new look is the temporary work of a highly talented makeup artist with a vendetta against her. We don't know whether it's actual bad plastic surgery or just fake bad plastic surgery, but you have to wonder what's going on to make someone willingly walk out the front door looking this way. That said, if this creepy look will work for anyone, it'll be Jenna Ortega. While Sydney Sweeney has been building a career out of being a natural beauty, Ortega has been building her brand around playing the weirdest-looking member of the Addams family. I'm not saying Jenna Ortega isn't pretty; she is, emphasizing that it is just not the path her career has led her in. Instead, like Christina Ricci before her, thanks to the Addams Family association, she's always going to be thought of as that weird girl. What better way to embrace it than by emphasizing it with freaky plastic surgery? Wednesday Addams would approve. Solve the daily Crossword
