Finding the perfect swimsuit for your body type [1] is so no easy feat. Whether you've got a big bust, athletic build [2], or you're looking for something to flatter your tummy, the search can be endless to discover the one that makes you feel comfortable. But being petite [3] or on the shorter side can also be difficult to shop for, because not all one-pieces are made for smaller torsos or legs. As someone on the smaller side, I know from experience it can difficult, because I may need an extra small on top and then a medium on the bottom — it just never fits me right.
To make sure you find one that's perfect, we went on a mission to uncover the absolute best swimsuits for petite girls [4] this season. Some of our finds are actually made for petites, while others are silhouettes that we recommend to help flatter your body and help elongate your lines. From high-waisted bikinis to one-pieces [5] that will actually fit, there's no shortage of good choices ahead. We included a lot ruffles, fun prints, and strategically placed cutouts that help add volume where you need it most. Keep reading to shop our hottest picks for Summer and find your match.
