The Best (and Most Flattering) Modest Swimsuits for Women with UPF

A day by the pool or out in the water requires the support of a stylish and comfortable women's swimsuit that will help you feel your best - no matter your age or what kind of figure you have. Whether you are seeking a more modest swimsuit for yourself in your 50s or are concerned about long-term sun exposure and want to cover up, UV Skinz went ahead and created the best modest swimsuit guide for women so you can get some inspiration and know what to look for before shopping online. 

Bonus: All of the swimwear below provide UPF 50+ protection, so you'll be safe from 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays!

What to Look for When Choosing a Modest Swimsuit for Ladies

First things first, what should you look for when choosing your modest swimwear, ladies? We want to help you find the perfect fit that is not just flattering, but also comfortable and accentuates your curves. Here are our tips on what to look out for when choosing a modest swimsuit for ladies:

  • Consider the coverage level - if you want to keep a specific area of your body covered look for bathing suits that provide that type of coverage. 
  • Pay attention to the design - you want to look for thicker straps and conservative prints without any plunging necklines or cheeky bikini bottoms.
  • Look out for fabric that is thicker and also doesn’t cling to your body.
  • Find something that makes you feel comfortable and beautiful that you will want to wear while out in the sun. 
  • Determine if you want a full bra inside your swimsuit for additional support.

Women's Modest Long-Sleeve Swimsuit

 

From Carol C. in the U.S., “I am so happy to discard my other UV swimsuits. This suit is so stylish and very flattering. The bra alone makes it worthwhile for me, but the fabric is so comfortable and holds you in, and the thumb holes give enough coverage for the top of your hands, that I will be buying another swimsuit. Keep them coming!”

Pairing suggestion: Woman's Kaftan Cover-Up

The adjustable ruched side details of this swim tank add style and let you play with various lengths, so you’re in control of your coverage. Fellow shoppers have loved its crisscross straps for extra support and the internal shelf bra, which can be removed too.

Modest Women's Swim Tights

 

According to Mari Z in the U.S., “(I) am so completely through with youthful days of sun-overexposure. No skin cancer yet, but at 63 years I know better. This is a comfortable and attractive full-leg and stomach cover, and with a swim shirt or rash guard is attractive and practical.”
