Good morning from the Bahamas! We’re here on Kurtis’ company trip and although it’s rained the two days we’ve been here, we’re expecting nice weather the rest of the trip! Since I’ve got beach and pool on my mind, today I thought I’d share some of my favorite long torso swimsuit and tankini finds!
Long Torso Swimsuits & Tankinis
If your build is anything like mine, most one-piece swimsuits are way too short in the torso. Over the years, I’ve gravitated away from the bikinis I wore in my younger years to tankinis or long torso one-piece suits. Unfortunately, it can sometimes be difficult to find options that fit but are also chic and stylish!
Long torso swimsuits are specifically engineered to offer a superior fit for individuals with extended midsections, ensuring both comfort and functionality. Their design minimizes common issues such as bunching or shifting during vigorous water activities, providing a secure and supportive feel that enhances performance. By offering additional coverage, these swimsuits reduce drag and improve body alignment, which can contribute to better stroke efficiency and endurance in the water. Additionally, the tailored construction of long torso swimsuits not only boosts confidence by accommodating natural body proportions but also offers a flattering silhouette that merges style with practicality.
Long torso swimsuits are specifically designed to accommodate the needs of individuals with longer torsos, offering a comfortable and flattering fit. These swimsuits feature extended torso lengths, providing ample coverage and ensuring that the suit doesn’t ride up or feel constricting. Whether you’re lounging by the pool or diving into the waves, long torso swimsuits are the perfect choice for those seeking a stylish and well-fitted swimwear option.
I’ve quickly become a huge tankini fan over the years, as well, because you don’t have to worry about a long torso option. They naturally work with most torso sizes, thanks to the fact they’re still a two piece, but with a lot more coverage. I also prefer this option when it’s time to use the restroom 😉
Thankfully, more and more brands are now offering cute long torso swimsuits and tankini options!
Today I’m sharing a few recent finds, as well as details on my favorite shops to look for chic, longer swimsuits! First a few worth noting:
- I ordered this swimsuit in the long torso version (regular length is available if you change the toggle) and it is so cute! The v-neck is deep but the suit provides great coverage and the ruffled shoulders with contrasting color are a fun addition!
- The “wildly-flattering swimsuit” also comes in long torso lengths. I own several of these and they’re still a favorite. They suck you in in all the right places without being uncomfortable. I ordered this bow version (regular length here) this year and it couldn’t be cuter!
- This ruffle top tankini is a super cute one if you want a trendier style. I bought it when black was the only option, but now they have several more cute colors! Their suits are pricier (bottoms sold separately) but the quality is always great.
- I picked up this tankini for our catamaran trip, and it was my most-worn suit of the trip. Like most other tankinis, bottoms are sold seperately (which I prefer if you’re sizing is different on top and bottom)! I got the navy but there are a lot of other cute options, too!
- I consistently have good luck with J. Crew long torso swim options. With their frequent sales, they tend to be one of the more cost-effective options!
