Spring has officially…sprung, which means there’s no better time to get in on fabulous bathing suits from the best swimsuit brands. Why? Because each day that gets longer, warmer, and sunnier brings an increasingly immediate need for sand, sunshine, and really great swimwear. Not only can you get your pick of warm-weather arrivals right now, but you can still scoop up a discounted piece from last year’s collection that still feels fresh for an upcoming getaway.

Early trends for 2023 swimwear run the gamut: bright tones, intricate gold and bronze accents, one-shoulder silhouettes, high-waist bikinis, long-sleeve swimsuits, and styles that look offbeat in the best possible way. They’re also more eco-friendly than ever, with a number of sustainable swimwear brands creating recycling-friendly pieces that don’t throw your budget to the impending summer breeze. 

From luxury brands that specialize in chic one-pieces made with high-end fabrics that’ll last you longer than one summer, to others that offer fab suits with tummy control and gorgeous plus-size swimwear, to affordable brands you can shop on Amazon, these are the best swimwear brands (and the cutest swimsuits!) to shop now. 

Thought Madewell was just for cozy knitwear and damn good denim? One scroll through the brand’s swim section proves otherwise. True to form, it’s got plenty of quality basics but also fresh cuts like square necklines, board shorts, and bikini top sets—at the reasonable price point we know and love.

Save when you shop for the best swimsuit brands with these Madewell promo codes.

Solid & Striped may officially be 10 years old, but the brand keeps its designs as fresh as ever. While you can still find plenty of classic bikinis and belted maillots that will never go out of style, it has a surprisingly trendy lineup this summer, from crochet cutouts to graphic prints.

If you usually gravitate toward practical feminine swimwear, head to Boden right now. The brand has an extensive selection of perfect-fit options, including suits that come with custom cup sizes (making them great bathing suits for gals with largest busts), long and short torsos, and plus-size styles. Get in on color-block pieces, paisley prints, and ruffles for whatever’s on your summertime agenda. We also can’t fail to mention that the pieces are perfect for moms who want to keep things a little more modest while they’re chasing after the kiddos. 

In our book, no closet’s complete without a few wardrobe essentials from Everlane. The San Francisco–based brand prides itself on quality fabrics and craftsmanship at a competitive price point, and it has expanded its best-selling swim collection for summer. Five Glamour staffers put its swim line to the test when it first launched in 2021, and we weren’t disappointed. The size-inclusive one-pieces and bikini sets were impressively well made for the less-than-$100 price tag (the brand uses Econyl, a recycled nylon), and the cuts and bright colors felt modern yet timeless.
