The Swimwear Edit: 9 Must-Know Swimwear Brands for 2024

I see Dippin’ Daisy’s as a go-to for swimsuit lovers because the brand offers so many options that can work for various travel destinations or moods. The California-based brand produces thousands of styles every year, including everything from playful, floral print two-piece bikinis to chic and classic monokinis in solid colors. Another benefit to shopping at this DTC swimwear brand: Dippin' Daisy's is committed to sustainability. Aside from using eco-friendly manufacturing methods, the brand only uses upscale fabrics designed for long-term durability and fit.

Eidon is a swimwear brand geared towards free-spirited souls who love chasing new adventures, the sun, the wind, and some waves. Ideal for the active crowd, this brand focuses on well-fitting suits that won’t slide around during watersports (or just lying on the beach). The brand sells rashguards, bikinis, and bottoms ranging from cheeky to full coverage in a ton of fabrics and styles. You can find a detailed fit guide from Eidon here if you're not sure where to start.

As far as performance swimwear is concerned, Body Glove leads the pack. This brand has been around since 1953 and is well known for its functional wetsuit that fits like a “body glove.” This expertise also extends to the brand’s swimwear, which is available in one-pieces, bikinis, and surfable styles. Body Glove caters to the entire family, offering swimwear for both men and children as well. My personal favorites are the high-rise swim bottoms.

Skye is a swimwear company founded on the belief that every body is beautiful– and it’s the swimsuit's job is to hug and flatter every curve on the body. The brand’s swim-friendly and breathable swimwear collections come in different prints, silhouettes, and coverage levels at an affordable price point for every age group.

Summersalt is another brand making strides for women in the body positivity movement. Offering hundreds of different swimsuits with sizes ranging from 2 to 24, Summersalt used 1.5 million measurements from 10,000 different women to perfect their size fits. Made with high-quality fabrics and eco-friendly practices, these suits make you feel your best and will last in your closet for years and years. 

Another swimwear line that makes it clear that swimsuits should conform to the body's constantly changing state is Youswim. Youswim offers four one-size-fits-seven-frames collections: Aplomb, Poise, Eva, and Verve. The claim sounds over the top, but it’s the combination of a strong material (European nylon yarn) and expert design that makes it possible. Instead of following fixed sizing, Youswim takes body movement into account to create swimwear that stretches in different directions and can fit a wide range of body types.

CUUP focuses on creating the most comfortable bra tops for women, in addition to a stellar swimwear line. If you’re frustrated with the lack of sizing flexibility in swimwear over the years, CUUP breaks the standard system to bring you tops that fit nicely, don’t gape or spill, and stay in place–with no need for lining. The two-piece swimsuits’ clean and plain silhouettes are perfect for lazy days on the beach. CUUP is intentional in keeping the design simple to prioritize luxury comfort and performance.

Summer is about having fun in the sun, and Vetchy swimwear makes it easy with its bright colors and bold prints. The brand’s swimsuits capture the essence of summer to the fullest…and, bonus: most designs include underwire. Vetchy uses recycled materials (REPREVE® performance fibers) and packaging, making it an up-and-coming player in the sustainable swimwear space.

Why do we wear shapewear under our clothing but opt for ill-fitting, shapeless swimwear in situations where we show the most skin? TA3 Swim founder, Leila Shams, decided to combine the two and built her entire company off that brilliant idea. Their Mega Sculpting Suits smooth, sculpt, and lift to accentuate your natural curves and leave you feeling confident while you relax by the water this summer.
