With the arrival of spring weather comes the inevitable arrival of pool parties and beach vacations. Whether you’re planning an elaborate beach day in your favorite tropical location or you actually live someplace that’s warm enough to hang poolside in the spring (If you live in LA, come chill with me by the pool!), there’s always an excuse to don a cute plus-size swimsuit. However, if you’ve been hoping the weather never changes so you’ll have an excuse not to wear a swimsuit, that’s about to change. (I hope.)
Everyone deserves to feel good wearing a swimsuit. There’s no “right” way to wear a bathing suit, and there’s certainly no “right” body for a swimsuit, either. Sometimes it feels like the swimsuit industry (Is that a thing? I think it’s a thing.) is out to get plus-size women. So many swimsuits are flimsy pieces of barely-there fabric that have no support for larger breasts or any sort of body coverage for those who want it. Some plus-size women love to bare it all, but even swimsuits made to show a lot of skin don’t often come in extended sizing. And for those who want more coverage from their swimsuit, there are few options that are actually cute. It feels like we’re playing a rigged game.
But spring also represents starting fresh, and that’s what I plan to do this year regarding plus-size swimwear. Because I know how exhausting it can be to try and find cute plus-size swimsuits in all different styles—string bikinis, high-waisted two-pieces, one-pieces that aren’t dowdy—I scoured the web and rounded up a bunch of super cute plus-size swimsuits that will leave you feeling confident and ready to hit the pool.
Whatever your personal preference, there’s a swimsuit option waiting for you. So go ahead and dive in.

Daeny Contour Plus
If you’re on the hunt for a bikini with a retro feel, look no further than this green option from Adore Me. I personally love the cups in the top because they offer some extra support. I also exclusively wear high-waisted bikini bottoms, so obviously I’m a fan of these. The mesh detailing on the waist gives the whole set a sexier look.

Executive Underwire Bikini Set
This polka-dot bikini just made me love Ashley Graham even more than I already do. You probably have a few different striped or floral suits in your collection already, but I highly recommend trying out a dotted one, too. It has a classic feel while still making a fun statement.
