Every body is a beach body, no matter your age, size, or shape! All you need is that perfect swimsuit to give you a boost of confidence and beach chic style. But finding the right swimsuit is often easier said than done as a 50+ woman. Priorities and preferences shift a ton as we get older, whether that means seeking greater comfort or more modest coverage. And of course, you still want to look stylish! Try one of the best tropical swimsuits for women over 50 to flatter your figure.
Classic One-Pieces
You can’t go wrong with a classic one-piece swimsuit! Figure-flattering for all ages and body types, this resort swimwear provides moderate rear and bust coverage while exuding tropical style. Some also include tummy control to help smooth your midsection. Complete your look with a tropical cover-up!
Tankinis
Love a two-piece swimsuit, but don’t love revealing too much skin anymore? Tankinis are among the most figure-flattering swimsuits for older ladies because they provide more torso coverage, allowing you to comfortably enjoy a two-piece as you soak up the sun. Many also offer design elements like ruching to slim the tummy area and adjustable shoulder straps and underwire in the bust to lift, support, and flatter your body. Another tankini bonus? Like bikinis, you can mix and match your top and bottom to create your own beach style or find swimsuit cuts that work for you, like choosing a ruffle skirt over side-tie hipster bottoms.
V-Plunge One-Pieces
You’re guaranteed to turn heads in a V-plunge one-piece! The V-shape creates the illusion of a longer neck and can help balance broader shoulders and fuller busts, making it one of the best swimsuits for women over 50—but especially if you’re curvy. Plus, brands like Manhattan Beachwear design swimsuits with amazing, figure-flattering elements you’ll love, such as built-in tummy control panels, adjustable straps, removable cups, and ample rear coverage.
One-Shoulder One-Pieces
One-shoulder one-pieces are the most flattering swimsuits for older ladies of all body shapes, from pear-shaped to hourglass figures. The asymmetrical design draws attention to the neck and shoulder area and breaks up symmetry in the body. This not only balances your body’s proportions but creates a unique and eye-catching look! One-shoulder one-pieces can also create a more feminine curve for 50+ ladies with narrow shoulders or a square/athletic body type.
High-Waisted Two-Piece Swimsuits
Think that two-piece swimsuits are only for younger women? Guess again! They can be worn by women of all ages! You just need the right fit and design. High-waisted two-pieces are another figure-flattering swimsuit for older ladies. This is because the swim bottoms provide moderate coverage to ensure everything stays in place, while the high waist slims your figure and lengthens your legs.
