Those with long torsos understand how truly frustrating it is to shop for a one-piece swimsuit. Far too often, swimsuits pull our shoulders down, tug on our waists, and pinch our hips—or give us a major wedgie, and not in a cute, cheeky sort of way.
Meet the Expert
Charlotte Ruffner is a swimwear designer and manager of technical design at the swimwear line, JOLYN.
We conducted hours of research on the best long torso swimwear, taking into account personal insights and consulting with a swimwear designer. We considered dozens of options, evaluating swimsuits on size—tall options are best for those with a long torso, fit, style, fabric, and comfort. The results? We found the top swimsuits made specially for long torsos and others that, while not technically designed for long torsos, are still a great fit, thanks to the fabric, stretch, and length.
From cut-out swimsuits to cheeky one-pieces and everything in between, find our top picks for the best swimsuits for long torsos.

Youswim
The Youswim Aplomb One-Piece really impressed us most with its one-size-fits-all design that (really, sizes 2-14 will fit) stretches in all directions to equally compliment big busts, petite pears, tall triangles, and everyone in between. Because of that, it has enough stretch to cover the torso comfortably without pulling down at the shoulders, pinching the hips, or the threat of a wedgie.

For a swimsuit that feels like a second skin, Left on Friday’s Streamline Suit should be on your radar. Not only is the fabric insanely soft, but it’s smoothing and hugs your figure in all the right places. It doesn’t move (or chafe) and actually dries really fast, so you don’t have to worry about being uncomfortably wet after a quick dunk in the pool. The suit plays well with chlorine and salt water, and is really easy to wash—just throw it in the machine.

Although it has an eye-catching metallic ribbed material, this swimsuit is all about vintage vibes. Inspired by 90’s style, this simple, strappy one-piece is ultra-stretchy and wears seamlessly over curves. Technically, this isn’t a long torso suit, but because it has so much give (and a high-cut leg) it’ll work well for all body types. For the most comfortable fit, we suggest going up a size—just to be safe.

What to Look for In Swimsuits for Long Torsos
Fabric Stretch
With a long torso, fabric stretch is important. “Maximum fabric stretch for one-pieces is in the length of the suit, providing the most torso coverage,” says swimsuit designer, Charlotte Ruffner.
Shoulder Straps
If a swimsuit isn’t sized specifically for long torsos, Ruffner says you’ll have better luck with one that has adjustable shoulder straps. “Having the ability to lengthen straps will tailor the one-piece to your body length,” she notes.
Neckline
If you want a swimsuit that is compatible with high activity, Ruffner says to opt for a scoop neck over a V-neck or other necklines. “Scoop necklines generally sit higher than a V-neck, providing coverage and support at the bust area,” she explains.
