Best Swimsuits for Tall Women

By Holly Higgins , last updated February 23, 2012

The best swimsuits for tall women have adjustable straps or are designed to be longer in the torso area. Taller women sometimes have an issue with swimsuits riding up, because the torso and the straps of most swimsuits are too short. However, there are plenty of swimsuits that are designed specifically with taller ladies in mind. Read on to discover the best picks of the season!

Athleta Amrita One Piece

A beautiful, solid-colored bathing suit, the Athleta Amrita One Piece comes in special tall sizes. Though it's a full-coverage swimsuit, it boasts pretty details that set it apart from standard suits. Choose from green, blue, black, pink or purple colors, all of which are incredibly vibrant. The front has wide straps for support, and the neckline dips down into a low scoop that's revealing without being over the top. In the back, the straps crisscross at the shoulders, and there's a clip that holds the midsection together. The rear is full coverage, and the hips are mid-rise for a flattering look. Plus, it has a built-in wireless bra for excellent support. This is the best option if you're looking for a classic suit with a few unexpected details. 

Lands' End Tunic One Piece Slender Suit

Are you looking for a modest, flattering swimsuit that's made to fit your tall proportions? Look no further than the Tunic One Piece Slender Suit from Lands' End! This gorgeous swimsuit is made from a special fabric called "Slendertex," which acts like slimming pantyhose for your torso. The neckline on this suit has a sweetheart shape, and the thick straps add a vintage vibe. The color is dark purple, and the leg openings have a low rise to provide more coverage. What's most interesting about this swimsuit is the second layer of tricot fabric, which creates an appearance almost like a dress. This would be an excellent swimsuit for an occasion when you want to look modest but beautiful. 

Kenneth Cole Reaction Tiered Ruffled Bandeau Bikini

Bikinis are excellent for tall women because they have two separate pieces, so a longer torso will not cause unwanted tension. However, it's best to look for a bikini that has adjustable straps or no straps at all. The Kenneth Cole Reaction Tiered Ruffled Bandeau Bikini is a perfect choice, and you can find it at Macy's. This lovely swimsuit has a ruffled bandeau bikini top with adjustable halter straps that tie behind the neck. The matching bikini bottoms provide full coverage over the rear, and they have a mid-rise on the hips for a flattering fit. 

Mara Hoffman Ibis V-Wire Bikini

The Mara Hoffman Ibis V-Wire Bikini, available at Zappos, is perfect for tall women because it doesn't have any straps, which often cause tension and pulling. Festive and flirty, it boasts a pretty peacock feather print on a white base. The bandeau top is split down the center and supported by two wires, and it fastens in the back with a clasp. The bottoms provide medium coverage and have a mid-rise at the hips. If you're a tall woman, this is the perfect suit to help you strut your stuff!
