Best swimwear for women over 50 to boost your confidence and flatter your figure

Three models wearing swimwear from Next Seaspray Panache.

Finding the best swimwear for women over 50 can be a tough task, whether you're lucky enough to be escaping the cold with a winter break in the sun, or simply taking a dip in your local pool. There are so many different styles to choose from, which can feel a little daunting. At this time of year there is less choice on the high street too, so we have done the hard work for you, spoken to the experts and rounded up the very best buys.

Shopping for a new bikini or swimsuit can be a headache, whatever your shape or size, and as we get older it gets even more challenging. We want to feel confident and comfortable as well as supported and stylish - a lot of pressure for one tiny piece of clothing! Finding the best swimwear for your body shape is key. I am a firm believer that every body is a beach-ready body, however if you’re not feeling overly confident you may want to opt for styles that use clever technical details to smooth over any lumps and bumps, like the best tummy control swimsuits. Bikinis with high waisted bottoms will offer more coverage and wrap-over designs can magically slim down the appearance of your silhouette and accentuate your natural shape. If you are curvy, look for bikini tops that provide as much support as the best bras for large busts, this will make a huge difference to how confident you feel.
