The one-piece swimsuits that can be worn beyond the beach (tummy control a bonus)
Good news for those resistant to the itsy-bitsy bikini: the one-piece swimming costume is the fashion set's swimwear of choice this year. They've cropped up on recent catwalks, bringing boho to the beach at Chloé and riffing on a nautical mood at Chanel. Over on the high street, some of the best options play with tie-up details, pretty piping and texture; there are covetable crinkle styles at Arket and Hush, no doubt inspired by enduringly popular British brand Hunza G, which specialises in sculpting seersucker pieces. There are plenty of other independent UK swimwear labels to turn to, including cult favourite Asceno, sustainability-focused Away That Day and Ibiza-inspired purveyor of grown-up glamour Ôsalé. 'We're seeing a lot of earthy, sun-kissed tones like terracotta and chocolate, creamy neutrals, as well as deep ocean blues,' says Ôsalé founder Aliya Wilkinson. 'There's also been a noticeable rise in subtle shimmer and metallics, with fabrics that have a satin-like sheen or soft gold and bronze finishes that elevate the look without being too loud.' For Anouchka Houser, founder of Nounou, another British swimwear label to know, it's all about comfort. 'Trends come and go, but the most flattering swimsuit is always the one that makes you feel your best,' she says. 'Prioritise quality fabrics that are soft against the skin as you'll be wearing it for hours, so it should feel as good as it looks.' A perk of the one-piece is supportive coverage, which can be found in abundance at M&S, where some costumes offer a discreet 'tummy control' panel, as well as subtly padded cups and adjustable straps. Tactfully placed ruching can have similar effects – for options worth the investment, look to Nuria Ferrer and Prism. Another factor that makes it worth splashing out on a one-piece? It needn't be confined to your holidays. 'There's a growing trend for styling swimsuits beyond the beach,' says Wilkinson. 'A sleek one-piece can double up as a bodysuit and be worn with wide-leg trousers, high-waisted jeans or a linen maxi skirt.' Miniskirts, shorts… the options are endless. 'Add an oversized shirt or statement jewellery,' Wilkinson adds, 'and you have an easy summer outfit that works from poolside to dinner.' Wherever your holiday takes you, a swimming costume might just be the most versatile piece in your summer wardrobe.

We Were Skeptical of One-Size ‘Crinkle' Swimsuits. Here's What Changed Our Minds.
The Hunza G Pamela suit's crinkle fabric stretches to fit sizes 2-12. Hannah Frye/NYT Wirecutter Popcorn suits defy the norms of swimwear. In contrast to suits that come in sizes small, medium, and so on, popcorn suits come in one size, sometimes two. And though we refer to these suits as 'one-size-fits-all,' there are limits. It's really more like 'one-size-fits-many.' Our official popcorn pick, the Youswim Aplomb One-Piece, comes in two sizes: Stretch I, for sizes 2 to 12, and Stretch II, for sizes 14 to 24. The Hunza G Pamela suit, which is featured in the guide as a suit worth considering, comes in just one size, for sizes 2 to 12. This textured suit comes in just two sizes, yet, remarkably, it expands to fit a wide range of bodies (from size 2 to 24). It's made from an impressively stretchy, comfortable crinkle material that gently hugs your shape, but it doesn't offer much compression. We loved this textured suit with thin straps, a high-cut leg opening, and a substantial, marvelously stretchy popcorn fabric. It comes in just one size (which fits sizes 2 to 12), and it's pricier than our Youswim pick. It's also more compressive than the Youswim suit, but it offers less backside coverage. The crinkles are what make these suits work, since they hide more fabric in plain sight. When you stretch a popcorn suit, you see the tightly bound crinkles start to expand, allowing the suit to cover more surface area. And in our swim tests, these suits didn't lose their shape or snappiness; instead they maintained their compression when wet and through multiple wears. Due to their thickness and texture, these suits look quite different on the contours of the body, almost camouflaging the lumps and bumps that traditional smooth suits may highlight, Zoe said. One drawback of this crinkle fabric, though, is the slow drying time, which is something to consider for swimsuits. The Hunza G Pamela Swim in Cornflower/Navy. Marki Williams/NYT Wirecutter Also, these suits notably lack side seams. So one-size-suits can mold to fit different sizes and shapes, and the stretch of the fabric ensures the swimsuit holds its structure even without the seams. The big difference between our two picks is the fabric used. Youswim's patented fabric is called Versoform, which is made of 88% nylon and 12% elastane. Hunza G's patented Original Crinkle fabric uses 97% polyamide (an umbrella term that includes nylon and other synthetic materials) and 3% elastane. The Youswim suit's higher elastane content is probably why our testers found it more flexible than the Hunza G suit — for better or for worse, depending on one's preference. The Youswim suit isn't incredibly compressive, so those who want to feel 'held in' by their swimwear may prefer the Hunza G suit. But overall, the Youswim suit's fabric is cushiony, and Zoe described it as a 'wonderful spongey hug.' The Youswim Aplomb One-Piece in Espresso. Marki Williams/NYT Wirecutter That lack of support is also a downside for some. You'll also notice these suits lack built-in bras and cups. This design accommodates a range of bust sizes, but there is also less support in the chest area than you get with a traditional padded swimsuit. Still, one tester with a 42DD cup size found the Youswim suit surprisingly supportive. 'For being so comfortable, it does a pretty good job of basic support for the chest,' they said. Other testers found the closer-hugging, compressive fit of the Hunza G suit to be more supportive. Our top pick, the Youswim swimsuit, took the cake because of its inclusive sizing and a more-affordable price point compared with the Hunza G Pamela suit's price. We know the Youswim suit isn't exactly cheap, but in testing we didn't find more-affordable options that we liked. Zoe put some under-$50 popcorn suits to the test, but she found them to be quite deceiving. Though they had the same look as the Youswim or Hunza G suits while lying on the table, they lacked the stretch that makes the magic trick work. These cheaper options compromised on fit and quality, and that's why they didn't land in our guide. It's safe to say that we have a less-suspicious approach to popcorn suits now that we've tested them on panelists with diverse body types. We know that these suits not only fit but also flatter a vast range of body shapes and sizes, as was proved in testing and our photoshoot for the guide. While popcorn suits aren't for everyone, they do offer very unique perks: They're comfortable, they can grow with you, and they might take the size anxiety out of swimsuit shopping. Plus, if you need to have some swimsuits on hand for visitors, there's a chance these suits could fit plenty of house guests. Think Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants , swimsuit edition. This article was edited by Hannah Rimm and Maxine Builder. We tested over 50 swimsuits (so that you wouldn't have to). These one-pieces, bikinis, and rash guards — for an array of bodies and budgets — are our favorites. Sun, salt, and sand wreak havoc on your swimwear. Here's how to clean and care for your suits (and yes, you do have to clean them every time you wear 'em). Shapewear has deservedly gotten a bad rap. We were determined to find better options, and—after extensive testing—emerged with seven (actually comfortable) winners.

This £40 swimsuit sold out last summer - and it's now been restocked in three new colours
Having a beach vacation on the horizon is exciting, but for many of us the idea of shopping for swimwear fills us with dread. Leaving aside the harsh fitting room lighting (trust us when we say no-one ever looks good under those lights, no matter your age or body shape), the search for the perfect one-piece can be quite challenging. One of the biggest hurdles to overcome is inconsistent sizing. The digit on the tag of your trousers or dress is almost irrelevant when you're trying on a swimsuit. There are a number of reasons you might want to size up or down: maybe you're looking for something with a little more (or a little less) coverage, or you've got a fuller bust or bum. It's important that you feel great in your swimsuit. You want the design to cinch you in at the waist (hello, shaping swimwear) and show off all your best parts, whether that's your curves or legs. But a one-piece should be comfortable, too. There's nothing worse than straps digging into your shoulders or neck (that's why it's generally best to avoid halternecks). It might seem like an impossible task to find a flattering cozzie that ticks all those boxes, doesn't look frumpy and doesn't break the bank, but we promise it's not. Case in point for the belted swimsuit from John Lewis. Released last summer, the orange textured one-piece became a sell-out success thanks to its square neckline, low scoop back, high leg cut and belted waist detail. It's also fully lined, offering medium shaping control. View this post on Instagram A post shared by John Lewis & Partners (@johnlewis) Fast forward to 2025 and John Lewis has brought back its best-selling one-piece in three new iterations. The khaki version (£40) features the same super-flattering design as the best-selling orange cozzie, with a square neckline, low scoop back, high leg cut and, of course, belted waist detail. John Lewis Paris Belted Swimsuit £40 Shop Meanwhile, the new bandeau silhouette is set to be this summer's must-have swimsuit thanks to its textured fabric, sweetheart neckline, detachable straps (so you can wear it strapless) and belted waist detail. It comes in a navy colourway (£40), as well as a blue-and-white sailor stripe (£36).
