Modest swimsuits for women are some of the most difficult items of clothing to find in a mainstream store these days. Here’s the thing, though: every person’s definition of “modest” may vary, as it really is a subjective concept. However, perhaps we can all agree that a modest swimsuit usually has full-coverage bikini bottoms and good coverage on top. Think of a one-piece swimsuit or a tankini. And while we absolutely are not here to tell someone to dress one way or another (each woman should wear what they feel most comfortable and confident in!), we thought we’d do a roundup of our very own favorite modest swimsuits for women.

  1. We love this modest one piece swimsuit because – holy cow is the fabric so soft and yet so compressive to really hold you in and give you a nice shape! One of the first reasons we love this modest swimsuit for women is the full-coverage bottom (a rarity these days) that makes you feel so care-free to go about your day and do all the sun-filled activities that your heart desires. Also, can we please talk about the beautiful blue and white gingham pattern on this one piece swimsuit? Seriously, these colors will look so good with some tanned skin in the summer. Not to mention, this modest swimsuit photographs really well with the colors of the water on the beach or poolside, making it the perfect swimsuit to post on your next highlight reel. We also love the keyhole detail in the chest area to keep things just a little bit spicy. This modest swimsuit for women is made with the best details in mind as it comes fully lined and with removable bra pads – YAY!


  1. Next up, we love this modest black one piece swimsuit because it is an elevated version of your typical black swimsuit that you’ll find – it comes with all of the extra bells and whistles! What we mean by that is that this modest swimsuit for women has ribbed fabric which really adds some dimension to what could be an otherwise plain swimsuit. On top of that, this modest one piece swimsuit has gorgeous gold details on the adjustable straps – making it perfect for you to customize the length of the swimsuit to your exact torso. And of course, this modest swimsuit has removable bra pads and is fully-lined (I mean, this should be a given in any swimsuit you buy, but my-oh-my you would be surprised by how some don’t actually include this!). We love the flattering scoop-neck and the full-coverage swimsuit bottoms on the lower half. This modest swimsuit is truly a classic. With its durable quality and timeless silhouette, it is one you will keep grabbing for years to come.


  1. We love this retro bikini with its elegant seafoam green color that would also really make a summer tan pop! One of the things we love most about this modest swimsuit for women is that the modest bikini bottoms don’t lack in coverage – you get full-cheek coverage – but then, you have a stunning contrast to the full-coverage bottoms with a normal triangle bikini top. The shape of the bikini top is really flattering with its lines and cinching in the center of the triangle and the spaghetti straps can really accentuate your collar bone. We are also a big fan of the matching ribbed fabric on the top and bottom. The modest bikini set is fully lined, has removable bra pads, and adjustable straps. Oh, and by the way, the material is super soft and lightweight making it perfect for a hot day in the sun.


  1. We have to mention this modest bikini set that has a retro flare to it as well – the contrast of the almost-boy-short swimsuit bottoms with the feminine floral pattern is simply stunning. This is another cute and elegant modest swimsuit for women that is really brought to life by the muted hues of purple, gray, and blue, as well as the modest silhouette. This modest swimsuit for women can really qualify as a midkini since the bandeau top has a little bit more tummy coverage than your typical bandeau top – perfect for keeping your skin protected from the sun! We can picture you wearing this swimsuit in the foreground of a photo with the Italian cliffs of the Amalfi coast in the background. The neutral colors would just match so well! Oh, and thank goodness for the removable bra pads and fully-lined fabric yet again.


  1. Lastly, this white tankini is a best-seller as a modest swimsuit for women, and for good reason. It has a feminine and flirty peplum ruffle on the white tankini top, making it super flattering in the stomach area. The swimsuit top comes with matching full-coverage swimsuit bottoms that are just as cute, with ribbed fabric on both. We think this modest swimsuit is very rich-looking with the gold details on the adjustable straps and the classy cut of it. It is just adorable and super easy to take on and off. We don’t think you could go wrong with this best-selling modest swimsuit for women!
