The KnockturnaLIST: Shop the Best Swimsuits for 2022

Check out some of our favorite swimwear brands below.

Montce

In 2009, Alexandra Grief founded Montce, specializing in quality fabrics, nostalgic prints, and advanced construction details make each bikini stand out. An extensive fit testing and quality control ensures that suits are both flattering and comfortable. The Helena bikini comes in three lush colors, but we’re a sucker for the poppy floral print. The mix and match options include an adorable high waisted Sandra bottom ($88) and Kayla top ($148).

For one-piece styles, we love the striped Mer Allie One-Piece ($178) that is giving us Missoni vibes all the way to the sand.

MATTE Collection

Luli Fama

What good is a swimsuit without a cover-up? Thankfully, Luli Fama has mastered all things beach, so it’s a no-brainer to include the signature Short Caftan ($124) that has a luxe ombré style and knit front with a tie.

The bestselling Diamond Girl Open Side One Piece Bodysuit ($178) comes in a gorgeous textured coal fit, with a deep v-neck lace up front with matching lace details on the side for maximum sexiness.

The Deep Frill V-Neck Hem Dress in Seashell Jewel ($164) is a must-have for every vacay. With a comfortable fit and flattering v-neck, you can easily run around town in the frock.

SXA

Women-owned specialty swim and resort wear line SXA is purposefully designed to be a “second skin” with body-hugging swimsuits. Plus, a portion of SXA’s profits benefit Black Women’s Agenda, an organization dedicated to securing and protecting the rights of Black women. We adore the Harper cutout one-piece ($135) from the Le Soleil collection for a sexy, sleek style.

And don’t forget the must-have Bailey in aptly-named “nothin’ but nude” shade ($85). The blush color looks fantastic on anyone, and the plunging neckline can be worn two ways: as a halter or as a criss cross peekaboo tie.

Bondi Born

Australian swimwear brand Bondi Born is synonymous with minimalistic, elegant silhouettes, expertly cut from unique and technically advanced swim fabrics that enhance and flatter the female form. The sustainable brand uses ethically-sourced fabric is for eco-conscious certification which is then painstakingly fitted and refitted to perfect its cut. Each trim is also hand selected or custom made, making every Bondi Born product one of a kind. Our favorite silhouette from the luxe line has to be the effortlessly chic Waverly One-Piece ($295) which makes for a seasonless pop of color in the lovely mulberry shade. 

VDM The Label

VDM just might have the very best array of bikinis, and the Sienna Sunburst fit is one of our favs. We adore the orange tartan pattern but thankfully there are 11 other color ways to choose from. The top ($52) can be mixed and matched with any bottom ($56) for hundreds of possibilities.

Or go for 2 prints with the complementary Mila 70s floral bikini, with a top ($35) and matching high-waisted bottoms ($52).

Tropical adventures await with the stylish Elly Hawaiian tropic one piece ($125) that mixes neon prints with subtle black and white straps.

Mint Swim

Draya Michele’s Mint Swim has mastered the sexy pieces that we just can’t get enough of. The Sharae ($83) is flattering for everybody and every body.
