A couple of weeks ago, we rounded up our top five picks for modest one piece bathing suits, then returned last week with our favorite tankinis. As we said before, if you’re in the market for a new swimsuit, the trends this year are seriously in our (modest) favor!
With vintage-inspired style taking over all levels of fashion, conservative and comfortable cuts have become popular. In response, tons of brands have put out tons of great options! Swimdresses have also become increasingly popular in recent years and are the perfect option for a girl who wants to look über-feminine at the beach or pool.
We love the discussions about swimwear that have been happening on the site, and we checked out all of your comments and your favorite stores for inspiration as we scoured for great swimdresses. As usual, it was hard to narrow down the options, and we can’t wait to see what else you girls have found in the comments below.
Who loves vintage? This suit may be a little loud for some, but we’re digging the ’70s feel and neon colors! (Swim Outlet, $60)
If you’re more into classic styles than wild vintage prints, this Clean Water suit might be more up your alley. Available in six colors, the suit includes an elastic strap, boning, removable padding, partial lining and ruching. (Target, $36)
If you’re on the hunt for a swimdress with a super flouncy skirt, we may have found a contender! This ruffled suit is available in pink, green or blue (pictured) and has full body ruching with two halter options. (Amazon, $40)
Pink and polka dots–how can you go wrong? We love the girly, ’40s-esque vibe of this flouncy suit that features a conservative v-neck and boning at the waist. (Amazon, $22)
Are you into polka dots, but the idea of pink sends you running for the hills? This classic white and black polka dotted suit features a ruffled skirt and adorable tie at the chest. (Amazon, $45)
Which of these suits is your favorite? Have you gone bathing suit shopping yet, or do you have a favorite that you already own? We’d love to know where you got it and why you love it!
I love these bathing suits!
I love the seconds ones color, but swim dresses aren’t my style. Plus I have a long torso, so wearing a one piece (which are under swimdresses) is really uncomfortable.
I completely agree with you. And I’m almost 5’9″ and most of my height is in my torso as well. haha I generally go with a tankini 🙂
I got mine from a shop called “creations by savannah” that’s on etsy.com. These are a bit more spendy, but I know I will wearing mine for years!
Oh my gosh I LOVE two and four! I ADORE vintage!
oooh these are SO cute!! I love 2 and 5. 🙂
My favs too!! 🙂
I have a one piece bathing suit for a year now. it’s nice and im not really interested in buying more
I love that pink one, it’s super adorable!!!
I don’t know if I would ever wear any of these, but I love the second and last ones!
I’m not big on “swim dresses,” but I do like the first one a lot!
The pink with polka dots is my favorite. 🙂
I loved all of them!! Especially the 2,3,4, and 5! They are totally adorable!
I LOVE number 2!! It just has such a clean look to it!
Its so hard to find a good bathing suit but these are awesome ones!
I love the pink one with the polka dots. I would invest in that.
I like these, but swimwearplace.com has some really nice and modest ones too!!!
#2 & #5!!!
Both of the Polk-a-Dots I love! And swim dresses are so cool!
I love these! I just recently got a bright green and blue swimsuit that’s a one pieve and modest. It’s a little bright but that’s ok! And I feel like my boobs and butt won’t be hanging out like some girls wear
I love all of these but the first and last are my favs. I like the pink polkadot one too, but i’m not a bright pink kinda gal.
Swim dresses really aren’t my style, but I love the last two. Polka dots are soooooo cute!!!!!! 😀
I call dibs on the last one! Sooo cute and sooo modest…to bad i already have my swimsuit. and i’m 5ft 5in so i’m pretty sure a one peice isn’t my type.
I’m 5’5″ too. 🙂
I can’t find the exact item I bought online, but I seriously just bought the exact, identical suit of Bathing Beauty One Piece in Red on Modcloth ($89.99) from Walmart ($25.00 on sale) today. I’m not even kidding. Looks identical, even down to the seam down the back. I’m so estatic and I had to rush to tell all of you girls 🙂 I can’t afford much, so I saw this and just DIED. I’ve been eyeing it on Modcloth forever. If you’re into the retro style, check your local Walmart! xx
I LOVE The 4th and 5th ones XD
I LOVE the vintage pink with black
Polka dots.I usually dont like vintage stuff
But its so cute!:)
I absolutely adore the pink swim dress with the polka dots. It’s so cute!

I’m really into flower patterns, so I LOVE the first one!
I love the 2nd light-blue one! Need to get something like that!!
