Big bust, no problem: 13 best bikini brands with supportive style
Summer is just around the corner and we will be busting into bikini season in no time.That means it’s time to consider adding a few new swimsuits to your summer wardrobe.
Bikini shopping can be tricky, but luckily, there is no shortage of fantastic brands to draw from: Summersalt, La Blanca, and Abercrombie & Fitch, to name a few of our favorites.There are also plenty of styles to consider, from triangle to bandeau, padded or underwire, and cheeky or high-waisted for bottoms.Most bikinis are made with elastane, polyester, and nylon, but in recent years we’ve seen crochet and mesh having a moment as well.
And when it comes to colors and prints, there’s something for every style — checkered, polka-dotted, graphic, and more.But for women with larger busts, finding the right bikini is not as simple as grabbing the first thing you see off the shelves.One must balance all the necessary qualities: finding something that is flattering, provides support, and has the desired amount of coverage, while also tapping into your personal style.
We’ve tested many of these brands firsthand, but we also wanted to make sure that the experts agree.For help with this precious task, The Post has consulted three top New York City stylists to learn the ins and outs of shopping for a well-fitted bikini and for recommendations on the top brands to shop.
