1. Boohoo
Boohoo is a UK based brand with super trendy clothes for incredible prices.They have everything from petites to plus to mens to children’s clothing.They’re bathing suits are super cute and affordable enough that if you’re like me and just can’t stop buying swimsuits, you can buy several for under $100 which is practically unheard of, especially in the plus size industry. They have frequent sales and you can usually get free shipping, too.

2. Forever 21
This one is probably a better known option but totally worth looking into.Again, they are a trendy and affordable and offer several different styles, whether you want to go on the sexier side or the more playful side.
3. Swimsuits For All
They really do have swimsuits for all!Their selection is plentiful and they have the Gabi Fresh and Ashley Graham collections which are very cute and trendy, but are pricier.Shop at Swimsuits For All for more investment type swimsuits that will last longer or if you just want one staple suit.They are so worth the price.Most of the two pieces can be ordered in separate sizes for top and bottom, which is great for inclusivity of different body types within the plus size community.10/10 would recommend.

4. Evans
Another UK based brand that has pricier, investment type swimsuits.They do have free shipping and returns, though.They specialize more in one-pieces and tankinis which are great for days when you’re just not feeling the flashiness of bikinis or for those who are newly branching out into swimsuits (rock on to you ladies, you have a bathing suit ready body no matter what).
5. Torrid
I think Torrid is probably the most well-known within the plus size community and their swim suits are so cute.Their one pieces are trendy and tastefully youthful as well as offering great support. They also have pop culture collections so you can stock up on your Mickey Mouse bathing suits or Barbie wardrobe pieces.They are also a little on the pricey side but if you’re careful, you can catch a flash sale and get great deals and earn Haute Cash to use in the future.
Bonus! One One Three is another great brand to buy bathing suits from. They have not yet released their 2017 suits, so keep an eye out for them in the coming months!
