Body Inclusive Swimwear: 9 Brands Making Summer More Comfortable, Confident, and Accessible

Summer should be about sunshine, swimming, and making memories—not stressing about whether your swimsuit fits your body or whether your body “fits” your swimsuit.

Finding body inclusive swimwear can make all the difference. The right swimsuit does not need to change your body—it should support it. Whether you’re looking for swimwear for plus size bodies, gender inclusive swimwear, or simply a suit that lets you feel comfortable at the beach or pool, more brands are finally designing with real bodies in mind.

At Karuna, we believe every body deserves clothing that allows you to move, play, rest, and participate in life without having to earn it.

 

What Makes Swimwear Body Inclusive?

Body-inclusive swimwear goes beyond offering a larger size chart. The most thoughtful brands recognize that bodies naturally vary in size, shape, ability, support needs, and gender expression.

That might look like extended sizing, adjustable straps, multiple coverage options, compression tops, long-torso fits, adaptive designs, or models who actually reflect the people wearing the clothes.

Instead of asking your body to fit the swimsuit, these companies create swimwear that fits your body.

 

1. Youswim

If your body changes throughout different seasons of life—whether because of pregnancy, postpartum recovery, menopause, medication, or normal body fluctuations—Youswim’s flexible sizing system may feel like a relief. Their stretch fabric is designed to adapt across multiple clothing sizes, helping reduce the stress of finding one exact fit.

Sizes: Approximately US 2–24
Best for: Bodies that naturally fluctuate over time.

 

2. Summersalt

Summersalt swimwear is known for supportive one-pieces, classic silhouettes, and long-torso options. Their designs are polished but still practical, which can be helpful when you want a suit that feels good chasing kids, walking the beach, or relaxing poolside.

Sizes: 0–24
Best for: Supportive, timeless swimwear.

 

3. Alpine Butterfly Swim

Rather than treating plus sizes as an afterthought, Alpine Butterfly Swim’s size-inclusive swimwear centers curvier bodies with bold prints, playful cuts, and statement-making designs.

Sizes: XS–3XL listed on the brand size chart, with some retailers carrying extended options
Best for: Stylish swimwear for plus size shoppers.

 

4. TomboyX

For anyone searching for gender inclusive swimwear, TomboyX’s swim collection offers compression tops, rash guards, board shorts, unisuits, and tucking swim options. Their designs prioritize comfort, coverage, and self-expression without forcing swimwear into narrow gender categories.

Sizes: XS–6X
Best for: Transgender, nonbinary, gender-diverse, and higher-coverage swimwear shoppers.

 

5. Beefcake Swimwear

Inspired by vintage athletic swimwear, Beefcake Swimwear’s gender-neutral swimsuits are designed for comfort, movement, and ease. Their one-piece suits offer more coverage while still feeling playful and stylish.

Sizes: XS–5X

Chromat’s gender-inclusive swimwear has long challenged traditional fashion norms by featuring models of diverse sizes, genders, races, disabilities, and ages. Their suits are bold, expressive, and intentionally designed to celebrate more than one version of beauty.

Sizes: XS–5X

If simple and classic is more your style, Andie Swim’s supportive swimsuits offer adjustable straps, long-torso options, and timeless one-pieces and separates.

Sizes: XXS–3X
Best for: Everyday swimwear with reliable support.

 

8. ELOQUII

Designed specifically for plus-size shoppers, ELOQUII’s plus size swimwear includes bikinis, one-pieces, tankinis, cover-ups, and trend-forward styles that feel fun rather than limited.

If variety matters most, Swimsuits For All’s plus size swimwear collection offers one of the widest selections of swim for plus size shoppers, including bikinis, tankinis, swim dresses, one-pieces, and adaptive options.

Your Body Deserves to Enjoy Summer Now

Many of us quietly postpone joy while waiting for our bodies to change.

“I’ll swim after I lose weight.”
“Maybe next summer.”
“I just don’t feel confident enough.”

But confidence often grows because we participate—not because we wait until we feel perfectly ready.

Finding body inclusive swimwear is not about giving up on your health. It is about choosing clothing that supports the body you have today so you can enjoy the experiences that matter most.

Your body deserves sunshine, swimming, vacations, laughter, and memories exactly as it is.

If you are also looking for clothing that makes movement feel more accessible year-round, explore our Inclusive Activewear Round-Up for more brands committed to size, inclusivity and comfort.

At Karuna, we believe healing your relationship with your body does not come from finding the “perfect” swimsuit. It comes from small, repeated moments of choosing respect, comfort, and self-compassion—and wearing clothes that allow you to fully participate in your life is one of those moments.
