We here at Halocline have been designing swimwear for years, and that includes working closely with our customers. Over the years, we’ve learned a lot about what makes a great plus size bathing suit, and we want to share that with you.
Plus Size Bathing Suits
We believe every body is a swim body. For too long, the swimwear world skipped over larger sizes or treated plus size as an afterthought. But trends are changing, consumers are speaking up, and the demand is real, and we are here to offer some fantastic plus size bathing suits which fit, flatter and feel fabulous.
That means if you’re looking for a bathing suit that fits you well, flatters your curves, and supports where you need it, we have some excellent options for you.
What To Look For
From our experience, helping women pick swimsuits that make them feel fabulous, here are the key features we always recommend looking for.
Good Sizing and Fit
Don’t settle for a one-size-fits-all cut. Look for swimsuits that go up to your size and beyond, and that consider your bust, waist, hips, and torso length. For example, we carry suits up to UK size 28 in our plus-size collection.
Support Where You Need It
If you have a fuller bust, details like shelf bras and wide adjustable straps matter. Our customers have told us that plus-size women especially value bust support and the fit of their swimsuit.
Flattering, Comfortable Styling
Features like tummy-control panels, ruching, longer length torso suits and high-waist styles can all make a difference in how you feel. For example, our longer length swimsuits add about 5 cm to the body loop, so they sit more comfortably on a longer body and don’t cut in.
Style Matters
We’re all about swimwear you want to wear. That includes bold prints, rich colours and modern silhouettes. The idea that plus size is frumpy is outdated, and our designs reflect that.
Durability
Look for fabrics that hold up when you swim regularly. Features like chlorine resistance, a quality lining on your swimsuit and fabric with stretch but structure are key to keeping your swimsuit looking fabulous, swim, after swim. We use a recycled, super-soft Italian fabric which lasts and lasts.

Working in the swimwear industry, we see how a well-fitting suit can transform your day by the pool or at the beach. It’s not just about looks, it’s about how you feel. Feeling supported, confident, and comfortable in the water and under the sun is so important for enjoying your day.
Plus-size bathing suits are no longer just functional; they can be fashionable, fun, and fabulous – just like you. The idea that you have to compromise on style because of your size? That’s gone. What’s left is choice, lots of it!
