We can feel it, this is going to be your best summer yet.

Swimsuit season is upon us—and guess what? Thanks to online shopping, finding a suit that uh, suits you is easier now than ever—yes, even if you’re over 50. Just because you’re getting older doesn’t mean you can’t look amazing (and feel it too!) while having fun in the sun. As our good friend and pro-aging advocate Paulina Porizkova says, sexy has no expiration date.

Now, we understand that stepping out in swimwear may look much different for you than it did 20 years ago, and that’s totally fine. We’re not trying to push you out of your comfort zone (OK, maybe a little). However, we do want you to know that you have so many options. Before proceeding to our top picks, here are a few tips to help you find your match.

✔️ Know what you like: But be willing to try new things. That may sound contradictory, but there’s no harm in giving a style a shot. Your goal should be exploring instead of finding the first suit you can hide behind.

✔️ Consider the occasion: What are you buying the suit for? An active beach vacation may call for something flexible and fuller-coverage, whereas weeknights in the hot tub allow for a cheekier pick. Your bathing suit doesn't have to be a one-style-fits-all.

✔️ Appreciate your body: It’s gotten you here, to the mid-life, and that’s a wonderful thing. It’s easy to harp on how age has changed it, but we challenge you to do the opposite and find gratitude in where it is today.

Now, for the best suits you can find, all in one easy-to-shop place. Here’s to your best summer yet!

Shorts bottoms paired with a flowy, blouse-like top make this the most comfortable two-piece you've ever worn. The loose design also allows for airflow so you don't get uncomfortably sweaty or sticky on the beach. “I have a hard time finding suits that are flattering and modest enough for an adult who doesn’t want it all on display, but still cute enough that I don’t feel like I’m dressed for senior water aerobics,” one reviewer writes. “This suit strikes the right balance.”

The high scoop neckline on this navy number gives it a classic retro feel, the middle knot detail gives it a bit of flair, and the mesh chest panel provides coverage while also showing a little skin—if you’re into that. Ruching along the torso keeps the torso material from clinging.

“I am OBSESSED with the way this makes me look and feel. I have ALWAYS struggled in my adult life with my weight and finding a bathing suit that makes me feel good about myself until now!” one Amazon shopper raves. “It's definitely a show stopper!”

If you're looking for a suit that will get the job done, no frills attached, this sturdy one-piece is your best bet. The princess seam legs provide slightly more coverage (in front and back) than a typical bikini-cut one-piece, and the racerback straps keeps your chest supported and in place. Reviewers say it’s great for swimming laps.

“As a 60 year old woman with a not-so-perfect shape at this point in my life, I was looking for a one piece swimming suit,” one Amazon reviewer writes. “This suit fit great! It has a very modest cut and adds a nice shape. It keeps everything in place, if you know what I mean. It checks all the boxes and makes me look good. I ended up buying a second one.”

Who says dresses have to be saved for special occasions? This suit allows you to take one to the beach—and it’s super cute. Featuring underwire support and adjustable straps, reviewers say it makes them feel confident on the water. “This is honestly the best I’ve felt about myself in a really long time and for the first time ever, I can’t wait to show off some skin!” one writes.

Eliminate worries of spillage in this full-coverage long-sleeved suit that is modest, but doesn’t sacrifice style. It comes in various colorful patterns, and the zipper makes it incredibly easy to get in and out of. The moisture-wicking fabric will keep you chafe-free, and say goodbye to sun damage—the UPF 50+ material has your skin protected (in combination with sunscreen, of course).

High-waisted bikinis are all the rage right now, no matter how old you are. They’re a timeless, universally flattering style, and this print in particular screams summer. It provides just enough color without being too loud, and the underwire top supports all bust sizes. The brief bottoms are also super supportive, lined with a lower mesh tummy-control front panel.

“I love the that the top fits like a bra (which most bathing suits do not!) it gives a nice lift to the girls!” one reviewer writes.

Perhaps you love the idea of a high-waisted bikini but would love a top with more coverage. This style has you, well, covered. The long sleeves will shield your arms from the sun, and the stripe print is super stylish. Plus, the high-waisted bottoms are ruched on the sides for your comfort.

“Flattering sun protection is very important to me. I LOVE LOVE this swimsuit,” writes one Amazon customer. “I feel confident going into the pool mid-day and not having to worry about my back, chest, and arms getting burnt.”

So many modest swimsuits come in default black, and that just doesn’t have to be the case. This gorgeous khaki green will complement all skin tones, and the square neck line is a fun distinction from other plain leotards. It’s also made of 50% sustainably sourced materials.

So you have a favorite swim top, but you’d like a fuller-coverage pair of bottoms to go with it. Look no further than this adorable swim skirt—it’s conservative, but still fun, and it offers UPF 50+ sun protection.

Your Baywatch moment doesn’t have to have passed thanks to this nostalgic, beachy short-sleeved one-piece that is just as pretty as it is functional. Cap sleeves protect the shoulders, a built-in bra provides security, and the zipper closure keeps you from fussing with complicated straps. Win-win! Reviewers say it’s great quality and super flattering.

Tankinis are great, but they kind of defeat their purpose if the top rides up with the waves. This brilliant design features a side tie so that doesn’t happen, and the print is fabulous. “LOVE this top. The built in bra is wonderful. Very comfortable,” one reviewer writes.

This daring dress has no competition when it comes to vibrant, yet conservative swimwear. The print is perfect for vacation and is bound to bring you confidence during morning walks on the beach. Its v-neck isn’t too low, its wide straps support the chest (as does a built-in bra), and the pleated skirt brings a polished finish to the look. After a long day of relaxation, you could easily throw on a cover-up and call yourself date night-ready. One reviewer says it “fits like a glove” and is made of good-feeling quality fabric.

This one-shouldered one-piece is best-selling for a reason: It features lovely and flattering diagonal seams across the entire torso, has ideal butt coverage, and looks good on basically everyone. Oh, and it comes in tons of fun colors and patterns.

“The sidestroke is so comfortable!” one shopper writes. “I can be very active and confident it will stay in place. I get compliments just walking down the beach all the time.”

Available in an array of colors, this sporty suit covers all the right places and gives you the freedom of flexibility. It’s double-lined with a removable bra, and is chlorine-resistant.

“I have gotten more compliments on this bathing suit than any other bathing suit I have ever had,” one reviewer raves. “There’s never a wedgie problem and you could just throw a shirt on and walk down the street because it looks like shorts.”

Color has no age limit, which is why you should totally rock a suit like this one if you’re so inclined. A shelf bra with built-in cups makes it practical, and the straps are easily adjustable. “The colors are vibrant and eye catching and the fit is perfect,” one happy customer writes.

A staple separate for the water, these shorts are easy to throw on with a t-shirt or a swim top, depending on the occasion. Plus, they’re easily washable and stand the test of time. “The color is great and the fit is nice,” one reviewer writes. “Not too short and loose around the legs.”

This suit is a great option if you want a bikini, but one that offers a little more coverage than usual. This simple, yet bold design will age well in your closet, and the construction is sturdy and supportive, made of recycled fabric.

“I’m 52 years old and love that this has an athletic look but offers high neck coverage for the sensitive skin on my chest,” one reviewer writes.

A side-step from what's expected in a basic tankini, this supportive, yet flowy design features a keyhole chest and scoop neckline, which adds a delightfully feminine touch. The boyshort bottoms are supportive and full-coverage. All you have to do is put it on and have a good time.

This suit provides great shape, but the ruching helps disguise what you may not be comfortable showing. Ruching along the chest accentuates and supports the bust at the same time, and the wide straps give everything a nice lift.

“Comfortable, fit perfect everywhere, great quality, and very reasonably priced. I feel like I hit the jackpot,” one Amazon shopper raves.

Layered ruffles in this tankini top give it magical movement that doesn't stick to your stomach. The shallow v-neck and sturdy straps provide great shape, and the boyshort bottoms are the ultra-comfortable cherry on top. One reviewer says it “accents your beauty no matter your body shape! The top half of the suit stays in place and shorts do too.”
