Quality fabrics, sustainability, style—and swimsuits that look good and stay put! As we look forward to summer trips and water-based activities, what are the top tips for finding the perfect fit? From choosing a suit for surfing the internet or surfing waves, I’ve got you covered with some tips from experts in the fashion & swim space. Here are five tips when looking for the perfect swimsuit for this summer season.

Professional Surfer Tia Blanco says, “Look for bikini tops and bottoms that are adjustable. I like to tighten the bikini to fit perfectly while I am surfing.” You can always loosen them after for optimal comfort. The JOLYN Surf ambassador adds, “you also want to make sure there are no beads or other attachments to the bikini top so it won't hurt when laying down on my surfboard (that’s the worst!).” JOLYN just launched their first line made for waves, check out the JOLYN Surf collection here.

If you have a fuller chest, look out for thicker shoulder straps for the best support. “Tops that offer support are an important factor in finding the perfect fitting swimsuit. The Flavia Bikini Top by Palm features balconette style underwire cups and pleated detailing that is not only secure, but also stylish,” said April Koza, Vice President of FWRD.

Some fabrics have less stretch than others and will fit tighter, such as 100% polyester. Influencer Ashley Torres shares that it’s worth the splurge when choosing the perfect suit. “It's all about fabrication; finding the right balance between thickness (aka support) that also has enough "give" so you're not squeezed in the wrong places. Quality fabrics and suits are pricier but 100% worth it when you put them on and feel amazing! Here’s a piece from the line she designed with L*Space:

Co-Founder of Textured Waves Danielle Black Lyons shares, “My number one tip is to find a swimsuit that makes you feel beautiful and comfortable. I love the ROXY Palm Tree Dreams Long Sleeve One Piece Suit for its soft recycled fabric and second-skin fit. It holds everything in place with a high neckline and open back while offering just the right amount of sun protection, style, and function. I love how it looks and how it makes me feel!”

Because swimsuits are such a personal preference based on body type, try a few different types to find the right shape for you. “Always try on as many styles as possible. Once you find the shape that best suits you, invest into it. My favorite style of ours is the bra top bikini. It is sized A-DDD cup with a supported underwire and adjustability in the back and neck – almost creating a custom fit,” says Shoshanna Gruss, founder and creative director of Shoshanna.
