Luckily, wearing a bikini does not need to mean a tiny, revealing suit. These two-piece suits can be purchased as a set, or you can mix and match pieces to flatter your body shape. Bikini tops come in halter, triangle, bandeau and full coverage styles. The bottoms also come in different styles. You can choose from full coverage, thong, high cut and string styles.
Tankini

The tankini can be considered a more modest cousin of the bikini. This two-piece suit has a longer top that comes down and meets the suit bottom, resulting in more coverage of the tummy. The bottoms of a tankini can be a brief style or a skirted bottom for added hip coverage. The top of a tankini can be a halter style or basic tank styling.

One-piece suits come in a variety of styles. The leg cut can be high cut or brief cut. The top portion can be strapless, tank style, and halter. The back of these suits come in low scoops, racer back and tank styles. One-piece suit designers often create suits that have panels inside to control the stomach.
Swim Dress

The swim dress offers the most coverage of all bathing suit styles. Swim dresses are one-piece suits that have mid-thigh length skirts attached over the suit bottom. This is helpful in hiding hips and thighs that may be spots of insecurity.
