Plus-size swimsuits: Your guide to a perfect fit and feel-good style on the beach
Imagine: You're standing by the sea, the sun is caressing your skin, and you feel absolutely beautiful in your swimsuit. No adjusting, no hiding – just pure joy! That's exactly what's possible when you find the right plus-size swimsuit. I still vividly remember my first "aha moment" on the beach in Nice when I finally wore THE perfect swimsuit – with tummy control that didn't constrict, but gently shaped.
The days when plus sizes were only available in black and shapeless are thankfully over! Today, there are plus-size swimsuits with underwire and shaping that celebrate your curves instead of hiding them. From cup size E to I, from figure-shaping to sporty and chlorine-resistant – the selection is huge and beautifully diverse.

🏖️ How to find your perfect fit
Do you know the secret to a well-fitting swimsuit? It's the little details that make all the difference! Here's my personal 3-point checklist for the perfect fit:
- The leg opening test: Lift one leg – does it cut in? Perfect! The leg opening should fit like a gentle hug, not like an elastic band.
- The shoulder strap rule: Two fingers should fit comfortably underneath. Too tight = headaches, too loose = no support.
- The abdominal comfort check: Breathe in and out deeply. Do you feel gentle support without pressure? Then the abdominal support is positioned correctly!
A plus-size figure-shaping swimsuit with a pattern can work wonders. Diagonal stripes create a lengthening effect, while floral patterns add accents in just the right places. My favorite trick? Dark side panels with a light center stripe – this conjures up an hourglass silhouette!

✨ Material Magic: What makes the difference?
Do you know that feeling when your swimsuit takes forever to dry after swimming? Or when the chlorinated water fades the colors? The solution lies in the material! A sporty, plus-size, chlorine-resistant swimsuit not only lasts longer but also feels better.
Here are my insider tips on materials from 20 years of swimwear experience:
- Lycra Xtra Life: Lasts 5-10 times longer than regular elastane. Perfect for frequent swimmers!
- PowerNet inserts: Invisible reinforcements at the stomach and hips – gently shapes without constricting
- Microfiber with UV protection: Protects your skin and retains the color – even after 100 days at the beach!
My absolute favorite? The combination of 80% polyamide and 20% elastane with shaping function. The material fits like a second skin, dries super fast and retains its shape – season after season.
🌟 Styling tips for every occasion
A swimsuit is more than just swimwear – it's your summer statement! Last week at Lake Garda, I met a woman who had styled her plus-size swimsuit for older ladies so ingeniously that I had to ask her about her secret.
Your 3-minute styling formula :
- Beach-to-Lunch Look: Swimsuit + airy maxi skirt + statement earrings = restaurant-ready!
- Pool party chic: a kimono over the swimsuit, paired with wedges and a clutch.
- Active on the beach: Boardshorts over the swimsuit for beach volleyball or beach walks.
The best tip? Invest in a high-quality pareo in a complementary color. Turquoise with pink, coral with navy – these color combinations will make any swimsuit a real eye-catcher!
💙 Professional care tips for long-lasting wear
Do you know what used to drive me crazy? When my favorite swimsuit stretched out after one season. Until I discovered these golden rules for swimsuit care :
- The 30-minute rule: After swimming, stay in your wet swimsuit for a maximum of 30 minutes – then rinse it out!
- Cold water trick: Always rinse in cold, clear water – hot water destroys the elastane fibers.
- Shade drying: Never dry in direct sunlight – UV rays bleach and make fabrics brittle.
My secret tip for plus-size swimsuits with tummy control : After every third wear, soak them overnight in cold water with a teaspoon of vinegar. This neutralizes chlorine and salt residue and maintains the elasticity!
🌊 Your summer, your style, your moment
You know what? The perfect plus-size swimsuit is like a best friend – it supports you, makes you stronger, and makes you shine. Whether underwired and shaping, sporty and chlorine-resistant, or with a figure-flattering pattern – there's a perfect match for every one of us.
Remember: Fashion knows no size, only personality! Your body has carried you through life, given birth to children, experienced adventures – it deserves to be celebrated. So, grab your new favorite swimsuit and conquer the beach. The world is waiting for your radiant smile!
