If You’re Looking For Full Coverage

Skip your grandma's skirted swimwear and go straight for shorts! They'll cover up what you'd like to keep hidden while giving your suit an athletic twist. Not really a fan? Another great option is high-waisted. Just do a squat test before buying to avoid any unpleasant, um, riding up.

Opt for an Old Hollywood vibe with the Gap High-Waist Bikini Bottom ($35, originally $40).
