The 14 Most Flattering Bikinis For Curves In 2023 (Feel Hot & Confident!)

It was an itsy, bitsy, teenie, weenie, yellow, polka dot bikini…

This is the year of bikinis for us curvy girls. I do love a good one piece swimsuit but hey – the Age of Aquarius is ending soon and it’s time to switch things up tiny little swimsuits that flatter curvy bodies like mine (and yours, I’m guessing, if you’re reading this post!)

To help you out, I rounded up all the best bikinis for curves this year so you can find the most flattering swimsuits and feel confident AF at the beach or pool. 

In my opinion, the best 2 piece swimsuits for curvy gals like myself are the ones that make YOU feel confident and comfy. 

For example, if your cup sizes are larger than mine, you probably need an underwire bikini to keep them in and feel sexy. You want to wear swimwear that fits you so feel and supported! 

As a size 14, I used to only stick to one pieces and while I still love them (especially for activities like snorkeling when I want my swimsuit to say on when I dive), I’ve been jamming on high waisted bikinis that offer a little bit of tummy control and fit snug on my body. 

But, I don’t only stick to high waist bikinis – I firmly believe any size of body can wear any style and look hot. Lately, I’ve been dipping more and more into low cut bikinis and even triangle bikinis (which are tiny tiny tiny!)

I’m writing this post in January but I have some winter trips coming up and summer will be here soon, so I wanted to share all my favorite trendy curvy swimsuits for you to shop this year.

Just remember: you are worthy of taking up space, you deserve to wear any dang bathing suit you want, and you are BEAUTIFUL.
