Everlane! Summersalt! Andie! ⛱
The 28 Best Swimsuit Brands to Wear All Summer Long
Congrats! You made it through another winter of subzero temps and blanket-sized scarves, and it's officially time to unearth the best swimsuit brands for the long-awaited summer ahead. We're still practicing safety precautions, but things are looking a whole lot brighter than they were this time last year—which means it's prime time to stock up on bathing suits you love. With a hot (vaccinated) girl summer ahead, balconies and patios will continue to serve as mini sanctuaries, but we'll likely see more outdoor soireés this season—and hopefully more friends and family.
Plenty of dreamy trends for all style preferences and body types cropped up this year. From one-shoulder numbers to textured bikinis and metallic one-pieces, swimwear is looking offbeat (in the best way). It’s also looking more eco-friendly than ever, with a number of sustainable swimwear brands creating recyclable pieces that don’t skimp on style—or throw your budget to the summer breeze. Grab your sun hat, trusty face mask, and favorite SPF moisturizer—then shop the best swimsuit brands of 2021 ahead.
Everlane
In our book, no wardrobe is complete without a few elevated basics from Everlane. The San Francisco-based brand prides itself on quality fabrics and craftsmanship at a competitive price point, and it launched its very first swim collection just in time for summer. Five Glamour staffers put the Everlane swim line to the test, and we weren't disappointed. The suits were impressively well-made for the less-than-$100 price tag, and the cuts and colors felt modern yet timeless.
