Plus size swimwear guide: 8 cozzies for the curvy girl

written by Savanna Douglas October 26, 2022

Summer is in full swing and I am ready to get geared up for the beach! As a plus size woman, beach-going has always been something of a self-conscious activity for me. Back in the day, when size inclusivity was less of a concept, finding a swimsuit that actually looked good and fitted my curves was next to impossible.

You could opt for a bikini or a one-piece not designed with the curvy body in mind. For me in my then tacky one-piece, this made beach-going slightly cringe. Heavens forbid I caught a reflection of myself in the water!

Today, things have changed for the better. Us curvy babes are spoiled for choice when it comes to swimsuits. Tailored to fit all shapes and sizes, retailers like Milady and Donna have always paved the way for plus-sized swimwear. There are also smaller local designers who are emerging and making waves on the plus size scene, like Me&B.

We’ve covered curvy girl fits for summer, now it’s time to focus on plus size swimwear to compliment the season! You don’t have to settle for a bland one-piece anymore. There are designers out there with the curvy girl in mind, and I’ve found them.

All of these pieces are meant to embrace and hug your body in all the right places! These designs are tailored for the curvier girl, and aren’t just scaled up from a design for smaller bodies.

Let’s dive right in to your next comfortable, curvy cozzie!
