Shopping should be fun — they call it “retail therapy” for a reason! But shopping for a swimsuit can feel more frustrating than therapeutic. There’s nothing like trying on swimwear to bring out any insecurities we might have about our bodies, and swimsuits for women over 50 have historically been more matronly than alluring.
These days, 50 isn’t what it used to be (ahem, Jennifer Lopez at the Super Bowl) — and neither is 60, 70, or 80, for that matter. Whatever your age, there’s a gorgeous, comfortable, and yes, functional swimsuit out there for you. (And don’t forget a cute cover-up!) Whether you are looking for swim shorts, a plus size bikini, modest swim leggings and dresses, or just a classic slimming one-piece swimsuit, we’ve got you covered. Keep scrolling for FIRST for Women’s picks for the best swimsuits for women over 50.
