It's almost swimsuit season for the parts of the country that have been stuck in on-and-off cold spells this winter, and the first signs of warmth mean it's time to lock in those summer swimsuits. It's never too early to add to the collection. And there are quite a lot of bathing suit styles to choose from this year. From trendy two-pieces to one-pieces to asymmetrical to one-shoulder there are styles out there for everyone's tastes.
If a lower cost suit is what you need, there are plenty to go around, but we rounded up some of the more expensive suits for moms looking to expand their swimwear wardrobe with quality pieces that will last. These suits come from esteemed brands, many of which are owned by Black women and women of color, but a few are sustainably made, too. To that we say, treat yourself this summer. It'll go a long way, even if it's straight to the 'Gram.

We are salivating over this one-piece bathing suit, and really, all of the suits from the Divinos Seas swim line. This one features a square neckline and white base with ivory straps that can be tied into adorable bows. The suit's midsection also gets the ribbon treatment. We've also seen the suit in white with baby blue straps. This might be the perfect "bridal swimsuit" for a destination wedding.

The string effect on clothing is strong, whether it's across the chest, midsection, or as seen on this swimsuit, sides. It's a fun design trend that adds interest while still looking chic. This swimsuit has small rope straps that also cinch in the middle. The rope straps tie at the back.
Revolve So Solid Loreta One Piece
We can't get enough ruffles, if you couldn't tell. This one leans into the ruffles and the low back vibe with an incredible back view. The cool part is that the ruffles extend along the neckline, which is a flattering deep scoop. This suit comes in classic black and ecru.
BFyne Safi Top
This one's for the babes who love the off-the-shoulder, bright and bold look. this suit has all of that and then some — all tied together with a cute bow at the center of the bust. Bottoms are Brazilian style with a high leg to help elongate. The bottoms can be worn high or low, whichever you prefer.
Riot Swim Vista Top
Simple but different is the idea with this Riot Swim Vista top in the color coconut. It has a cool asymmetrical design on the bandeau and an open back detail. But its true value is in the details and what make it worth the cost: Body sculpting, no padding, double lined, and a seamless finish.
Billabong So Dazed Olivia Underwire Bikini Top
We love the classic look of this Billabong So Dazed Olivia Underwire Bikini Top. Billabong has that surfer casual look nailed down and this suit elevates that.

For fans of strings, may we point you to this sexy, chic one-piece by designer Andrea Iyamah. It has a middle cutout to add to the hot factor, but unlike a lot of other swimsuits of this genre, it has a ruched center and a high neckline. This one is going to look so fresh by the pool.
J.Crew Ruched One-Shoulder One-Piece
Simple and sweet is the name of the game for this one-piece one-shoulder swimsuit from J.Crew. Its color is amazing (we love a baby blue) and it will hug all the right places thanks to its side ruching. This highly rated suit comes in eight colors. And our personal favorite detail: It's "made with a recycled polyester that is crafted from recycled plastic bottles, yarns and fabric scraps."
