Our Shopping Editors Share the Four Swimwear Brands They’ve Been Living in This Summer

Editor-loved Swimwear
Design: theSkimm | Images: LSPACE, Andie Swim
July 23, 2025

Products you buy through our links may earn us a commission. Oh, and if something's out of stock, oops, it was there (and all prices were accurate) at time of publication.

Skimm Tested

What We Tested…

  • Miraclesuit Yvonne Swim Dress ($182)

  • Miraclesuit Utopia One Piece ($168

  • LSPACE Isa Bikini Top ($119)

  • LSPACE Mercer Bikini Bottom ($92)

  • Andie Swim The Malibu One Piece ($128)

  • Andie Swim The Amalfi One Piece ($128

  • Left on Friday Top Shelf Top ($95)

  • Left on Friday Streamline Bottom ($85)

Miraclesuit
Design: theSkimm | Images: Miraclesuit

Test Results...

  • Miraclesuit Yvonne Swim Dress: I’m calling this suit the LBD of swimwear. While its low-cut V-neck made me nervous at first, the super soft and stretchy material didn’t budge once I tied it around my neck. My chest was actually (wait for it) lifted — and stayed that way the entire time I wore it. It has a skirted leg cut, which made me feel covered enough to nix a cover-up, but isn’t long enough to be annoying while swimming or floating. I found every part of this suit to be flattering on my hourglass figure, thanks in large part to the built-in shapewear (that really, really works) and ruched material at the waist. ($182)

  • Miraclesuit Utopia One Piece: Personally, I think everyone should own this one-piece. It checks all my boxes: effective shapewear, flattering neckline, bright colors, and durable fabric. I’ve even thrown this suit in the wash a few times by accident and it bounced back to its original size and shape each time. The only thing I didn’t like about this one is that sometimes when you’re putting it on, the built-in underwire can get twisted, so it took me a few times to figure out just how to straighten it out before putting it on. That being said, the underwire didn’t bother me at all once it was on, and I wore this suit for the Fourth of July for about eight hours. ($168)

LSPACE Top & Bottom
Design: theSkimm | Images: LSPACE

Test Results...

  • LSPACE Isa Bikini Top: I was skeptical whether this TikTok-beloved brand would hold up to the hefty price tag, but I’m here to report that this is one of the best bikini tops I’ve ever worn. It has all the support of an underwire top but with a fun halter silhouette. It ties at the neck, so you can choose how much lift you want. Plus, the hook in the back ensures a secure fit; I never once worried about a wardrobe malfunction, even when I was jumping over waves. It’s actually shocking how flattering this top is, and the trendy gingham print is so cute. ($119)

  • LSPACE Mercer Bikini Bottom: This bottom is described as “classic coverage,” but I’d say it’s really more cheeky. Since I brought it on a beach trip with my boyfriend’s family, a little extra fabric wouldn’t have hurt, but normally I’m fine with cheeky coverage. It’s super comfortable — whether I was going for a walk or swimming — is made out of soft, stretchy fabric, and never felt like it was riding up anywhere. They also have a bottom with even less coverage if that’s your thing, and a bralette top with adjustable straps. ($92)

Andie Swim One-Pieces
Design: theSkimm | Images: Andie Swim
  • Andie Swim The Malibu One Piece: I’ve always been a fan of Andie Swim’s one-pieces. You can wear this style unbuttoned to make it a little sexier, but it’s also incredibly chic worn buttoned all the way up. It has a sporty vibe that I like, especially in the ribbed fabric. It’s great for water sports or family vacations, and I love that you can wear it as a bodysuit with shorts for lunch. ($128)

  • Andie Swim The Amalfi One Piece: The bottom of this suit feels pretty full coverage, which I didn’t mind at all. The fit is great due to the added cups for support; it gave me a little lift that most one-piece swimsuits lack. The adjustable straps are crucial. I felt like I could literally go on a run in this one without attracting Pamela Anderson in “Baywatch” attention. The cherry red is the perfect shade for summer. ($128)

Why Abby Tested...

Why Abby Tested
Left on Friday Top & Bottom
Design: theSkimm | Images: Left on Friday

Test Results...

  • Left on Friday Top Shelf Top: First off, I love that they do proper D and D+ sizing, instead of just sizing up and hoping for the best. I tried the Top Shelf, which is specifically made for D-G cups, and I was able to comfortably wear a size medium. The top was super secure and felt compressive but not restrictive overall. I didn’t feel overly modest (another issue I’ve had with swimwear for larger chests), but I also never had to worry about anything popping out while swimming. ($95)

  • Left on Friday Streamline Bottom: I took this set into the rough waters of the Jersey Shore, and despite almost getting taken out by an onslaught of waves, neither the top nor the bottoms moved. The material is super soft and feels very substantial despite being light on the body. Like most people, I hate having to hand wash my more expensive suits, and this one is holding up super well after multiple machine washes in a delicates bag. ($85)

Sidenotes...

  • The “Miracle” in Miraclesuit has to do with their proprietary Miratex® slimming fabric that cinches and conceals without pinching or prodding. 

  • Miraclesuit members enjoy exclusive perks, including earning points that can be used toward purchases, as well as $15 off on your birthday. 

  • Andie Swim is woman-founded and sustainable. As of 2024, 75% of their products are made with recycled materials. 

  • Left on Friday was founded by two former Lululemon employees on a mission to find flattering, long-lasting swimwear with buttery smooth fabric.

  • Many of Left on Friday’s most popular styles are available in either D or D+ sizes, which are super easy to find in this dedicated tab

The Fine Details...

  • Miraclesuit Yvonne Swim Dress ($182)

  • Miraclesuit Utopia One Piece ($168

  • LSPACE Isa Bikini Top ($119)

  • LSPACE Mercer Bikini Bottom ($92)

  • Andie Swim The Malibu One Piece ($128)

  • Andie Swim The Amalfi One Piece ($128

  • Left on Friday Top Shelf Top ($95)

  • Left on Friday Streamline Bottom ($85)
