Read on to discover the best one-piece and bikini swimsuits, according to Vogue editors.
Alexandra Michler, Director of Fashion Initiatives
I love this set from Tory Burch. She updates the style each season with a new print. The cut gives a bit of shape but doesn’t fall off when I’m swimming laps.
Rickie De Sole, Executive Fashion Director
The little black dress of swimwear. Since having my second child last year, I can’t quite bring myself to wear bikinis yet. This foul-proof Eres one-piece fits like a glove and makes me feel super confident poolside. It’s so well made and lasts season after season making it well worth the price.
Lilah Ramzi, Features and Commerce Editor
I like my swimwear to evoke a poolside with Slim Aarons vibe. And so I gravitate toward sculpted one-pieces in solid colors. I actually don’t own this Isa Boulder suit, but she fits the bill to a T, so I probably should.
Madeline Fass, Market Editor
Like the rest of my wardrobe, I usually gravitate to neutral colors and traditional silhouettes when it comes to swimwear. I do love an over the top bikini or statement printed one-piece for special trips but on an average summer day, you can usually find me in something fuss-free, minimal, and classic, like Jade’s solid triangle bikinis or this Tory Burch one piece.
Naomi Elizée, Market Editor
I love the versatility of this swimsuit from Maximilian because it can double as a swimsuit and as a chic top to wear out.
Ella Riley-Adams, Senior Living and Beauty Editor
My favorite swimsuit is from Denizeri; I have a couple of their bikinis which I mix and match. I love that I don’t have to worry about them sliding off in the waves, and they’re simple enough to work under a wetsuit. Plus, the color schemes just exude summer joy.
Alexis Bennett, Commerce Writer
A swimsuit that hugs my body and can move with me is imperative because I love being active on the beach, whether it’s a round of volleyball or snorkeling. My Onia swimsuit gets bonus points because it’s also extremely cute with its unexpected cutouts.
Atalie Gimmel, Associate Social Media Manager
This Haight bikini is everything I want a swimsuit to be: keeping everything together where I need most, without sacrificing style.
Alexandra Gurvitch, Market Editor
I am obsessed with the Hunza G black simple one piece. It is so comfortable, flattering, and chic. It is my most worn and loved swimsuit.
Chioma Nandi, Editor of Vogue.com
I’m a sucker for a bathing suit in an unexpected fabric. One of my favorites is a denim bikini (yes, really you can swim in it!) by the London-based label Prism. This season, their new lurex pieces have caught my eye—because who doesn’t want to sparkle in water? The cut of this high-waisted bathing suit is also reassuringly forgiving something that, after a year in sweats, I truly appreciate.
Emily Bukowski, Photo Editor
I love the semi-sporty and simplistic style of this bikini. Made from sustainable, high-quality fabric, it’s both comfortable and elevated. I’d wear this paired with my favorite denim and button-down for a more casual day look.
