A day of fun in the sun is extra low-key with the perfect swimsuit, so we've tracked down some flattering styles that rank high on comfort and convenience. From SPF-infused fabrics — for little ones who would rather run free than sit still for a second coat of sunscreen — to pretty-yet-unfussy frocks for men and women, we've got you covered. Just add a towel and some sand toys, and you're ready to go.
1 | Sporty spice.
Don't spend your day at the beach tugging at your top in a constant struggle with gravity. This high-necked crop boasts a sporty silhouette with mesh accents and is just one in a range of bra-sized swimwear styles available in sizes up to G and GG cups.
