As warmer weather approaches, we know you’re dreaming about lounging in the warm summer air and soaking up that deliciously radiant sunshine. However, anywhere you lounge in the summer sun also usually means that you’ll be getting in the water soon after to cool off.
We believe that maternity swimsuits can be glamorous yet durable and flatter your growing body. We’ve curated a list of our best sellers when it comes to maternity swimwear.
Thinking about hanging out poolside with your besties, sipping lemonade, and dipping in and out of that sweet, sweet cool water this summer? Or, perhaps you’re itching to make it to your ultimate babymoon destination, and you need a perfect suit to show off your motherhood maternity beach bump?
Regardless of the occasion, we have you covered when it comes to the best maternity swimwear choices. Are you looking for solid colors, polka dots, floral prints, or stripes? Does your heart desire a one-piece or a two-piece suit fit?
Well, look no further. We’ve got your back (and bump).
What To Look For
An important factor for maternity swimwear is finding a swimsuit that has enough stretch in it to grow with your bump. It can feel easy to find a suit that effortlessly fits over your bump for the first and second trimesters, but the third trimester is another story.
You’ll also want to think about durable materials in your quest for the perfect maternity swimsuit. A swimsuit with shirring on the sides helps ensure high-quality material because it leaves room for your bump to expand as you progress through each trimester.
Last but certainly not least, by any means, you’ll want to consider style and fashion preferences (obvi!) What patterns and colors most speak to you? Do you like a suit with a single, solid color or with a couple of colors? What about stripers versus polka dots or other patterns like a floral scheme?
There are so many options for you to explore! Let’s take a look at some of the cutest swimsuit fashion options for one-piece and two-piece maternity suits.
One-Piece Maternity Swimwear
Ruffle Scoop Neck
The Antigua Maillot is a one-piece maternity swimsuit that is simple and feminine, classy but also sexy. With its scooped and ruffled neckline, you can feel flirtatious. Feel glamorous with two color options (passion red or black).
You can wear the shoulder straps three ways: on each shoulder, crisscrossed, or tied at the neck to make for a cute halter look.
One Piece With Ruched Sides
Feel totally ravishing and unique with the Azore One Piece, our one-shoulder maternity swimsuit. With its solid black color and off-the-shoulder single-strap look, this divine piece is simple but elegant.
Not to mention its shelf bra that leaves you with built-in support for your growing body, side shirring, and double-layered fabric to help account for your ever-growing bump and hot mom-to-be body.
V-Neck With Cut-Outs
Did someone say dazzlingly alluring and timelessly decadent? Cue the Aria Cut-Out One Piece, with a totally fashionable and eye-catching cut-out around your baby bump to up your style game tenfold. It’s as soft as your favorite maternity leggings and as daring as your favorite evening gown.
This chic one-piece has a deep V-neckline and a sleeveless tank silhouette for an extra sexy factor. It gathers in the center to cover your bump in a flirtatious, lovely way during every stage of your pregnancy.
Two-Piece Maternity Swimwear
High Waist Maternity Bikinis
In black and white, olive, or simply black, the Zanibar Maternity Bikini is an exquisitely tasteful swimwear fit. It’s totally practical, with subtle side ruching so that your swimsuit can expand with your bump as babe grows inside you.
Yet, it’s also super cute and striking thanks to its high waist bikini bottom that you can rock over your bump as it begins to grow more. This two-piece fit also has adjustable straps, which you can wear in the standard fashion, crisscrossed, or tied as a halter.
Joyful, Colorful Bikini Set
Swank and mod, the Calypso Twist comes in orchid or black and has a flutter ruffle detailing on the swim top straps. This one’s also totally practical, thanks to its single clasp on the back of the bikini top, to make for an easy on-off fit change.
The bikini bottom waistband is designed to expand with your bump, leaving you feeling trendy and stylish while you rock your glamorous expectant bod.
Cover-Ups
With so many cute and fashionable swimwear options, don’t forget about an equally dazzling cover-up for after you get out of the water.
Our Nanette Jumpsuit Cover-Up is made from exquisitely breathable eyelet fabric material, has adjustable straps, and (wait for it …) pockets! This cover-up comes in two colors (stone or black) and is made from 100% cotton for a comfy after-swim feel against your skin.
You can also throw on a loose-fitting maternity dress after you get out of the water, such as our tie-back Plaid Carolina Dress or our Katherine Maxi Dress.
Of course, sometimes you need a cover-up that’s more loungewear. Drawstring sweatshirts? Do it. T-shirts? Of course! Want to swap your traditional swim shorts for smocked cotton ones? We love it.
Maternity Clothes for All Your Style Needs
With different styles and color choices when it comes to finding the perfect maternity bathing suit, there are a lot of factors to consider — maybe even more than everything that went into planning your iconic baby shower.
It’s hard enough to find a swimsuit that practically fits your baby bump, not to mention keeping up with all the on-trend pregnancy swimsuit styles that you actually feel good in. We believe that maternity swimsuits can be practical and stunning at the same time, which is why we’ve curated our faves into the comfiest, cute suit designs.
All our suits (and all maternity new arrivals) are made to expand with your growing bump and can also shrink back down for that postpartum lifestyle once babe arrives. So whether you’re looking for a bikini for resting or a one-piece for workouts, a solid suit, or a fun patterned one, we’ve got your back!
