Can you believe that summer is almost here? I’m guessing if you’re reading this then, like me, you’re ready to refresh your swimwear wardrobe – something I admit that in the past I didn’t always enjoy. It’s always quite the journey to try on swimsuits to figure out the most flattering fits and styles that will be comfortable and stylish, too.

I am a firm believer that everybody has a beach body and deserves to feel confident and comfortable whether seaside, poolside or just sunning in the garden. Enter cute, stylish and sexy tummy control swimwear that’s comfy, has extra support and helps to make you feel like your best self.

As a Gen-X-er with curves, I’ve been a fan of shapewear-style swimsuits for years – I find that they help highlight your best assets, no matter what age or stage of life you’re in, even post-pregnancy and menopause.

If you want to make the most of your curves, I’ve tracked down a whole range of fabulous swimwear that has a supportive shapewear effect from popular retailers and brands, from Marks & Spencer to H&M.

How I Chose the Best Tummy Control Swimsuits

I’ve trawled through hundreds of tummy control swimsuit styles to find the best looks that are flattering, well-made and have a great fit. While we here at HELLO! aren’t able to try on every swimsuit in this edit, we only chose swimsuits that ticked the following boxes:

Style: While more staid styles might be the taste of some, we decided to look for trendy swimsuits with not just tummy control but also a chic, fun or sexy silhouette – and in some cases, all three!

Price: We included swimsuits from various price points with the aim to have tummy control options for every budget.

Popularity: Having written about swimwear for HELLO! Online for years, I have studied the numbers and know the types of looks our readers want and love – and there are some swimsuit looks and brands that have proven to be winners time and time again.

Flattering fit and details: I personally shop tummy control swimsuits for myself, and I’ve made sure to include swimsuits from different compression levels, from light compression to shapewear-style looks, as well as swimsuits that have good coverage and support. In as many cases as possible, I’ve focused on swimsuits with details you can adjust so you can find the best personal fit for your unique body, like a zip front or adjustable straps.

So if you’re ready to take the plunge, take a look at where you can buy the best tummy control swimsuits of 2024.
