I think it is safe to say that nearly every fat person has been traumatized by a tankini at some point. For me, it was a real source of shame to wear a tankini at the pool when all my friends were in bikinis. I was being told to wear one to cover up my stomach, so it never really dawned on me that I could actually like the style for any other reason. Fast forward a few decades and a lot of therapy and self-love work later, and I can now finally view tankinis as a cute option. Yay for growth! There are so many cute tankinis out there this season, and I can’t wait to share them with you!
Whether you love the flexibility of mixing and matching or just prefer a little extra sun protection and coverage, tankinis are a game-changer. From sporty and supportive to flirty and fun, I’m breaking down the best places to shop for plus-size tankinis—because you deserve options in ALL styles of swimwear!
Where to Shop for Plus Size Tankinis:
BloomChic | 6X-M
BloomChic knows that plus-size fashion should be effortless, stylish, and affordable—and their swimwear is no exception. Their tankinis stand out for trendy prints, adjustable fits, and built-in support, making them a solid pick for anyone who wants a little extra structure in their swimwear.
Lands’ End | 26W-16W
Lands’ End has long been a go-to for high-quality, long-lasting swimwear for so many. I was so impressed by all the interesting prints and necklines they offer. Keep in mind that this brand doesn’t have quite the size range of our others on the list when shopping. Lands’ End, we would love to see y’all expand those sizes!
Lane Bryant | 32-12
Lane Bryant’s Cacique swimwear is all about stylish, functional, and confidence-boosting pieces designed specifically for plus size bodies. Their tankinis offer bra-sized support and mix-and-match styles, so you can create a look that works specifically for you.
Old Navy | 4X-XS
Old Navy keeps it cute, casual, and budget-friendly with their selection of plus-size tankinis. They offer classic silhouettes (well, as of right now, it’s one classic silhouette in different color/pattern options) with lots of support without being restrictive.
Superfit Hero | 7X – L
Superfit Hero sells high-quality activewear that moves with you, so it should be no surprise that their swimwear carries that same goal. Although the selection is limited, their tankinis are designed for comfort, durability, and full range of motion, making them an excellent pick for water workouts, beach days, or just feeling secure in your suit. Plus, their ethical and inclusive approach (with sizes up to 7X!) makes them a standout brand in the plus size swimwear space.
Ulla Popken | 30-12
Ulla Popken brings European elegance to plus-size swimwear, offering sophisticated designs, supportive fits, and high-quality fabrics. If you’re looking for a sleek, polished plus size tankini for a little extra coverage, this brand is definitely worth checking out.
Walmart | 3X-S
Walmart’s Time and Tru brand has affordable, comfortable swimwear in extended sizes, proving that you don’t have to spend a fortune to get a great tankini. Their designs lean towards classic, easy-to-wear styles, perfect for lounging by the pool or being active
Tankinis offer the perfect blend of style and versatility, giving you more control over your swimwear look and comfort. Remember, more coverage doesn’t automatically mean you are trying to hide your body. Check in with yourself about what makes you most comfortable and go from there. Happy swimsuit shopping!
