This summer, I’ve challenged myself to find great swimwear for an apple shaped body type. I carry most of my weight in my stomach and that can be hard when you are busty or have a very curvy body. 

Ladies, swimsuit season is among us and it’s time to show some skin!!! I know you’re probably thinking ----who?! But guess what, it’s YOU! We will be outside and showing up to the beach, pool, lake or any body of water with our bodies without apologies! 

Check out some of these pieces that I love! 

Miraclesuit Swimwear 

Miraclesuit offers a line of swimwear designed to hold you in all the right places while giving you shape and support. It’s only 10 seconds to a miracle! They have a little something for everyone. What I enjoy most about this line is the built in bra support of their suits. While I am not heavy chested, I don’t like to have my breast become flatten by a support suit. Their suits are incredibly flatter. 

Stitch Mix Temptation

Plus size back swimsuit with back cutouts

I absolutely love this suit. It does so much for me, not only is it black (my fave) but the side detailing really helps to accentuate my waistline to create an hourglass shape. The back a really cute crisscross detail.

This color looks amazing on and compliments my skin tone very well! It did not provide as much tummy control as I would have liked but I could have gone down a size to give a tighter fit. If you’re concerned that the suit won’t hold you up well it comes with straps.

La Blanca Swim

La Blanca has taken a modern approach to swimwear. They have chosen classic styles and made them wearable for today's time. These swimsuits are soft - I mean buttery smooth. I didn’t know that texture mattered until wearing these.

Belle FioreBelle Fiore Ruffle Skirted Bottom 

 Twist Bandeau Tankini Top 

This is the perfect 2 piece if you don’t want to go too bold with showing off your belly. I totally get it; as a mom of 3, I have to be in the mood to show that type of skin. This set (sold separately) is amazing. I feel held in and stylish! 

Riviera Renewal V-Neck Caftan

Blue swimsuit cover up

This cover up is EVERYTHING! I imagine myself strolling the hotel lobby and heading poolside with this on. It’s a cover up without looking like one and it still has that buttery smooth material.

Lastly, and probably my most loved is the Island Goddess Shirred One Shoulder in black. This suit looks so good on. The shirred bodice hides the belly to create a sleek silhouette. 

I love this straw hat for pool days! It’s so light and blocks the sun well. Grab yours here!

La Blanca Black One Shoulder Swimsuit

While these suits are a little more pricey, I do have a few budget friendly options!
