It’s getting warmer, and where I live that means kayaking, paddle boarding, lake days, tanning, and lots of time outside. And to be honest, what’s better than living in your bathing suit during the summer? There’s a certain feeling about it that just makes you do something fun everyday.

But, to be really honest, it is for some reason, incredibly hard to find a cute bathing suit that doesn’t show everything off. Like really hard. For years I would just buy a one piece from target so that I could get by while trying to find a bathing suit I actually liked online… but never could find “the perfect one”. Ok, this sounds pretty dramatic, and maybe I’m just picky, but has anyone else struggled with this? 🙋‍♀️

We went on a trip to Florida this year to escape the winter, and I got really serious about finding a good bathing suit. I made due with the one piece while I seriously looked for a swimsuit to buy, and not just put on my wish list. And I really found the cutest little online (and in-store) places where I bought my bathing suit. They met all my requirements – not super revealing, not old-lady or 5-year-old-like, practical so I could play sports in them, and just cute!

If you’ve been on the hunt for some modest and trendy bathing suit places, I got you, sister.

1. ALBION FIT

High quality, gorgeous, simple, and classy. I love the faint vintage vibes and the simple patterns. I got their black high-waisted ruched swim bottoms, and their knotted bikini top, but the latter didn’t end up working for me. Their style + material is well worth the money and the look though!

2. ROOLEE

Again, a super cute, but also super swimsuit selection. I love the sporty-but-not-sporty feel to their swimsuits and how their perfect for swimming and playing sports. They have support + enough cover for all kinds of outdoor adventures!

3. LIME RICKI

A more girly, fashionable swim brand, but still great for beach days! They have LOTS of colors, patters, and styles, all perfect for mix matching. It’s a high quality + modest win again. I ended up getting their simple black cropped bralette which I really love and matches perfectly with the bottoms I got from Roolee.

4. JANELA BAY

This one’s kind of a mix between Lime Ricki and Albion Fit – it’s a little girly, a little classy, with some simple and fun patterns. Again, modest and high quality selection and material, and their clearance section always has amazing options too.

5. BILLABONG/ ROXY/ RIPCURL

These are definitely not in the “modest” category, but they do have some good options (shorts, rompers, cropped swim tops, etc.) if you search well enough. I got a pair of board shorts from Billabong that go perfectly with the top + bottoms I got from the some of the places listed above!
