You can pick up a swimsuit these days at the same time as you grab a gallon of milk and a liter of dishwasher solution. But should you?
We tend to think of swim like TK. When you're as close to undressed as you're likely to get in public, it makes sense to be more strategic in your swimsuit. That's why we specialize in swimwear solutions: bra-sized swimwear that works exactly like a great bra for the beach or pool; shaping swimwear that flatters tummy to thighs; and mix-and-match swimwear that lets you customize the fit of each piece to flatter your unique curves.
What's amazing is each of these solutions is stealthy—you would never know that underneath the surface of these fashon-forward suits is so functional. In every trend under the sun, from colorblocking to tropical florals to animal prints, you can get a body boost from this summer's suit.
Bra-Sized Swim
This type of bathing suit is constructed like a real bra and built into the suit. Though hidden, they have the same hook-and-eye band and cup construction as your favorite bra. Just like with a bra, you would shop bra-sized swim by your band and cup size. Also just like a bra, you can pass the pool plunge test without worrying about popping out of your top when you resurface. If you're full-busted or curvy, a bra-sized swim top will flatter your figure like no unstructured suit can. Comfortable lift and support in sizes 28-48 and up to a K-cup.

Shaping Swim
Bring shapewear to the seashore! We all know the eye-popping difference a great piece of shapewear can make; why wouldn't you want that out of your bathing suit? A strategic mix of strong slimming fabrics and clever design details—ruching, mesh, draping, embellishments meant to draw the eye where you want it—come together for a swimsuit that's above average when it comes to figure flattery. You can even get them with built-in bras, combining the support of bra-sized swim on top with waist-winnowing at the hips and thighs. It's basically like having a custom-made swimsuit.
Mix and Match Swim
Did you know that, before Sunsets made it possible to shop separates, bikinis and tankinis were sold as sets with a same-sized bottom? This is actually still pretty commonplace, especially in the big box stores. So if you weren't blessed with a perfectly proportional upper and lower body, you're still in luck with us. Accommodate the different needs of your top and bottom halves by swapping sizes (not to mention styles and colors—a black bottom goes with everything and gets you an entire swim wardrobe for way less money). You can get a more supportive underwire swim top and a barely-there bottom, or a high-waisted, skirted shaping brief and a barely-there top. No more needing to choose between fashion and function.
