A day on the beach or beside the pool requires a swimsuit that is stylish but allows you to rock your figure with confidence. When skimpy, stringy bikinis just aren’t for you (and let’s face it, for most of us, they aren’t), more modest swim suits can help you look and feel your best whilst relaxing waterside. TFG readers once again weigh in with their top choices for cute modest swimwear.

I’m headed to Maui (Wailea) later this year. I feel dandy about everything except dum-da-dum: bathing suits! Oh Lord help me. I have been to Tommy Bahama and all the usual suspects. I am in my late 50s and don’t personally want a 2 piece. Any vendor recommendations for a flattering one piece with a little “something?” So not athletic. Sorry for the vague ask.
