Spring is on its way out, and moms everywhere are about to dive into that ritual that precedes the summer months. No, not the baking of countless dozens of cupcakes for the end-of-school-year party. We’re talking about swimsuit shopping.
It’s a task that can be tedious enough on its own, but it's even harder for anyone who’s “top heavy.” Most of the swimsuits out there are made for women with smaller cup sizes, and finding anything with a D+ can be frustrating and challenging.
But times have changed, and retailers such as Bare Necessities, Swimsuits For All, ModCloth and even Walmart have stepped up their game and are offering stylish swimsuits that provide plenty of support for big-busted women. And we’re not talking about suits made out of unflattering fabric in styles meant to cover and disguise.
We’re talking about elegant and sexy suits with daring cut-outs and plunging necklines. Adorable suits with cute details like belts and peplums. Bikinis, monokinis, and one-piece suits in bold and bright colors and clever prints like planets and fruits. In other words, these aren’t grandma’s swimsuits.
Better yet, most of the two-piece suits can be purchased à la carte so the top can be purchased that fits the best and the bottom separately. (Why hasn’t it always been this way?) We’ve featured the tops here, so take a look and choose the bottom that matches that fits the best. Or be bold and choose a completely different bottom, or pair that polka dot halter with a sarong or a pair of fun cutoffs.
Read on and take a look at 40 suits that will make swimsuit shopping exciting and not a chore, and will make hitting the beach the first thing on the to-do list.
