These Are the Best Swimwear Brands for Fuller Busts
info@hypebae.com (Hypebae) Tue, 14 May 2024 Hypebae
Bikini season is finally here and for the chest-fully blessed among us, finding the right fit can be an arduous task. No matter the chest size, swimwear that supports your breasts is important; however, for bigger boobs, it's paramount. This is partly because improper support can affect your posture and back health in later life (as confirmed by lingerie experts), but also because there's nothing more annoying than not feeling secure in your swimwear.
For a long time, those of us with fuller busts were relegated to wearing frumpy, oversized bikini tops in little-to-no variety, and one-piece or triangle styles were an absolute no-no. Thankfully, styles have evolved and the chest-friendly swimwear landscape has progressed somewhat, so we now have a lot more options to choose from alongside innovative new bra solutions that mean bigger-boobed girlies can try more styles than ever before.
As a result, we've taken it upon ourselves to curate a foolproof list of the best of the best -- tried and tested by Hypebae's editors. From surprising additions like SKIMS and Good American to the cult-loved CUUP and new players like Youswim and Reign Studio, there's now a much wider variety of styles, colorways and price points to choose from.
Scroll through to find our top picks for fuller busts below.
Tona The Label

About: Created by fashion stylist and editor, Tona Stell, Tona the Label began as a means to champion each and every body type, creating chic swimwear pieces that actually flatter. Unlike most brands, Tona creates all of its samples based on a UK size 16 and FF cup, resulting in a pretty significant difference in shape and support level.
Price Range: £50-85 GBP / $60-100 USD
What to Buy: Milly Bikini Top, Alli Bikini Top, Bella Bikini Top
Form and Fold
View this post on Instagram
About: Specifically catered towards women with D+ bra sizes, Form and Fold was born out of frustration from its founders with the lack of fuller bust swimwear, leading to a lack of confidence in and around the beach. One of the few swimwear brands that (surprisingly) opt for using bra sizing for its pieces, the brand focuses on offering premium materials, supportive design and D+ swimwear that looks as good as it feels.
Price Range: £50-230 GBP / approx $60-280 USD
What to Buy: Base Top and Tri Top, '90s high-rise bottoms.
Youswim

About: Designed to adapt to your body's natural curves, UK label Youswim prides itself on selling all its products in just two sizes: Stretch I and Stretch II. Spanning bra sizes from A-J and US sizes 2-24, the brand has designed a selection of versatile styles from its signature crinkle fabric, with each piece stretching to fit its wearer no matter their shape or size.
Price Range: £126 GBP/$156 for all styles
What to Buy: Eva one-piece, Verve high-waist two-piece.
CUUP

About: Undoubtedly one of the world's favorite bigger-bust brands, CUUP is one of the more obvious choices for big-boobed swimwear. Support sits at the heart of the brand's ethos, and continues as it expands to cater to 53 sizes. Each of the brand's best-selling silhouettes feature their own distinctive details (whether that's sheerness, shape or coverage) while not compromising on sexiness or support.
Price Range: £54-78 GBP / $68-98 USD
What to Buy: The Balconette Swim, The Scoop Swim
Reign Studio

About: Reign Studio was born after its founder noticed a gap in the market for women with bigger busts who didn't necessarily identify as plus-sized. Catering to women of all shapes and sizes, the brand focuses on creating swimwear for the larger bust -- whether its wearer is petite or plus-sized.
Price Range: £32-58 GBP / $40-70 USD
What to Buy: Jummai Ribbed Fuller Bust Swimsuit, Rosa Fuller Bust Bikini Top

About: Contrary to what you might believe, Kim Kardashian's SKIMS does more for fuller busts than it gets credit for -- and we should know because Hypebae's tried it all.
